Macomb County Prosecutor Peter Lucido has announced that Jeremy Jamel Johnson, 37, of Detroit, was arraigned on multiple felony charges and is being held on a $1 million bond after allegedly fleeing from police during an arrest attempt, striking an officer with his truck and running over the officer’s ankle.
The incident began with an alleged breaking and entering and led to a police pursuit and Johnson’s eventual arrest.
On September 25, Eastpointe Police were dispatched to English Gardens in Eastpointe.
It is alleged that Johnson was observed driving a truck with landscaping materials in an attached trailer.
Following an investigation, an officer attempted to arrest Johnson. It is further alleged that Johnson resisted arrest, striking the officer with his truck as he drove away and running over the officer’s ankle with a trailer wheel.
Officers later located Johnson at Gratiot Avenue and Nine Mile Road and attempted a traffic stop using lights and sirens.
It is also alleged that Johnson fled south on Gratiot into Detroit, where he abandoned the vehicle and was subsequently apprehended. The officer was treated and released.
On September 25, Johnson was arraigned before Magistrate Mark Makoski of the 38th District Court in Eastpointe on the following offenses:
• Police Officer – Fleeing – Second Degree, a 10-year felony
• Breaking and Entering – Entry without Breaking with Intent, a 5-year felony
• Police Officer – Assaulting/Resisting/Obstructing Causing Injury, a 4-year felony
• Assault with a Dangerous Weapon (Felonious Assault) a 4-year felony
• Habitual Offender – Fourth Offense Notice, an aggravating sentencing factor.
Makoski set Johnson’s bond at $1 million cash or surety only. If Johnson posts bond and is released, he is ordered to home confinement, must wear a GPS tether, not to operate any motor vehicle, and have no contact with English Gardens or any witnesses.
Johnson is scheduled to appear at a probable cause conference on Wednesday.
