    On Apr 14, 2021 at 5:41 PM Chesterfield Township Police were dispatched to Dick’s Sports, located at 50580 Waterside Dr for a retail fraud in progress. Officers arrived at the store and discovered the suspects had left in a White Chevrolet Malibu. The suspects were described as a black female and a black male.

The vehicle was located parked in a handicapped parking spot in front of a nearby business. The described suspects were located walking near the Chevrolet.  Upon confirming they matched the suspect description via Dick’s Sports surveillance video, they were taken into custody for the Retail Fraud.

    The name-brand apparel that was stolen from Dick’s Sports was recovered with a total value of $2821. Other property found in the vehicle, valued at $3358, was found to have been stolen from the Dick’s Store in Roseville earlier the same day.  The two subjects were transported to the Macomb County Jail on the charge of Felony Retail Fraud.

    Chesterfield Township Police Detectives continued investigating the case the next day. It was discovered the same subjects were responsible for attempting to steal over $2500 in merchandise in Utica, and Troy PD is investigating them for multiple thefts, estimated to be valued at over $10,000.

    The two suspects in these thefts were arraigned on the charges of Retail Fraud First Degree and Conspiracy To Commit Retail Fraud First Degree on Apr 15, 2021 at the 42-2 District court in New Baltimore. They are identified as 37 years old Terrell Anderson of Toledo Ohio and 23 years old Jveyon Palmer also from Toledo Ohio.

  • Vehicle Theft Suspect Apprehended

    Chesterfield Twp. Police Officers were requested to assist St Clair County Sherriff Deputies on Mar 25, 2021 at 11:18 PM. The Sherriff Deputies were attempting to apprehend a suspect who was fleeing from them at high speeds westbound on I-94 approaching Chesterfield Twp. The suspect, who was later identified as a 19- year- old Warren MI man, was fleeing from law enforcement after stealing a 1999 GMC Jimmy in Port Huron MI. The Chesterfield Twp. K-9 Officer took up a safe position on westbound I-94 near New Haven Rd. waiting for the GMC to enter Chesterfield Twp. The suspect passed the officer at high speed and lost control of the GMC as he drove around an innocent westbound I-94 motorist. The GMC veered into the I-94 median and struck the median barrier cable causing the SUV to spin and roll many times. The Chesterfield Officer ran to the heavily crash damaged GMC and discovered the male had climbed out of the window and was now fleeing on foot east across I-94. The Chesterfield Officer ordered the male to stop but he ignored the orders and climbed over the cable barrier into eastbound I-94 traffic lanes. The Chesterfield K-9 Officer was able to remotely release his police dog from his patrol car. The dog was directed towards the fleeing suspect and was able to engage him in the eastbound I-94 lanes. The K-9 Officer was able to quickly take the suspect into custody. He was turned over to St Clair County Deputies on their charges.

    Fatal Motorcycle Crash

    Chesterfield Township Police and Fire Rescue were dispatched to westbound William P. Rosso Hwy near I-94 for a motorcycle crash on Sunday March 22, 2021 at 9:40 PM. Responding officers arrived on scene and found two heavily damaged motorcycles.  A 35-year-old male from Eastpointe with an injured arm was standing near the crash. A Chesterfield Police Sergeant began CPR on the second motorcycle operator, who had suffered serious injuries from the crash and was not breathing. This operator was identified as 39-year-old Gary King of Clinton Township, who later died from his injuries suffered in this crash. It appears the two operators were riding their motorcycles together. Mr. King lost control of his 2020 Harley Davidson and crashed, causing much debris to be deposited on the road. The operator from Eastpointe drove his 2004 Harley Davidson over the debris causing him to crash as well, injuring his arm. He was transported to an area hospital for his injuries.

    The Chesterfield Township Police Detectives along with Chesterfield Township Police Crash Investigators are continuing to investigate this crash. Alcohol is likely involved. Helmets were not worn by these two motorcycle operators.
