Macomb County Prosecutor Peter Lucido announced Tuesday that a former Warren police officer was sentenced on charges related to traffic stop.
On July 20, 2023, former Warren police officer Dammeon Player was charged with Assault with a Dangerous Weapon, a four-year felony, and Willful Failure to Uphold the Law, a one-year misdemeanor.
The Willful Failure to Uphold the Law charge was later upgraded to Misconduct in Office, a five-year felony.
Last month, Player pled guilty as charged.
Player was sentenced Monday by Macomb County Circuit Court Judge Michael Servitto to 45 days in jail and two years probation. The judge ordered Player to report to jail later this week.
“When a police officer uses their authority to commit violence instead of prevent it, the damage goes far beyond the immediate victim. This sentence sends a clear message: no one is above the law, and those who abuse their power will be held accountable,” Lucido said.
