Farmington Hills Police Calls: Marijuana Found, Daughter Reported Missing

Two Detroit men in a vehicle that was stopped for speeding early Tuesday at Eight Mile and Farmington roads told police they had smoked marijuana after they had left work.

A 35-year-old man from Detroit and his 33-year-old brother were arrested after police clocked the car they were in at 67 mph in a 45 mph zone, according to the report. The men reportedly showed officers two small, burned marijuana cigarettes in a cup holder.

The K-9 team found no evidence of other drugs, but officers reportedly found three open bottles of alcohol in the car. The 35-year-old man, who was driving, was ticketed for speeding, having an open container of intoxicants and marijuana possession. His brother was arrested on numerous outstanding warrants, according to the report.

Daughter reported missing

A 50-year-old Westland woman contacted Farmington Hills police to report that her daughter, a 30-year-old Hills resident, was missing. The mother told police she had received a call from the cousin of a man who was arrested in Virginia. The cousin said the Hills woman was arrested as well. According to the report, police did not have enough information to confirm whether the woman had been arrested, so she was listed as a missing person.

Laptops stolen

The manager of Synergeering on Interchange Court told police that he entered a conference room Monday at the business and found a window had been shattered, creating a hole large enough for a person to get through. Two laptops were taken from the building, which reportedly had no security alarms or cameras.

Safe robbed

The owner of Party Bus Detroit on Sunnydale Street told police he arrived at the building around 7 p.m. Sunday and found someone had pried open the slot on a drop-safe and had taken an undetermined amount of money. According to the report, officers found no damage to the door or lock box; the owner said only he and his employees have a key. Security cameras reportedly had T-shirts wrapped around them, and a computer module for the security system was reportedly destroyed. The owner told police he estimated drivers had dropped about $3,800 in the safe over the weekend.

Animal complaint

Police were called at 1:50 p.m. Sunday to a residence on Lakehurst Drive near Creek Bend Drive by a 42-year-old Canton woman who had been delivering phone books. According to the report, she walked up to a residence and was attacked by a dog on the front porch. She told police the dog was baring its teeth, scaring her so badly that she jumped up on a car parked in the driveway. Police reportedly found an invisible fence collar on the dog, but there were no warning signs posted in the yard. The woman was not bitten; a man dog-sitting for the homeowner was reportedly told to keep the dog under control at all times.

Cocaine possession

Officers on patrol stopped a vehicle at 5:30 p.m. Feb. 25 at M-5 and Drake Road after they saw the driver change lanes without signaling in rush-hour traffic and observed a vision obstruction hanging from the rear-view mirror. The driver, a 45-year-old Lapeer man, reportedly admitted to having a suspended license, and officers saw an open container of alcohol in plain view.

A check of his background uncovered four suspensions and 14 convictions. While searching the vehicle, officers found a plastic bag containing cocaine and one containing marijuana. The driver was arrested for possession of cocaine and marijuana, driving with a suspended license and having an open container of intoxicants in the car.

Counterfeit bill reported

The owner of a Mobil gasoline station on Orchard Lake Road locked a suspect in the store after he said the 16-year-old North Farmington High student had given him a phony $10 bill. According to the report, the owner, a 47-year-old Orchard Lake man, said he often loses money because his employees take bills that are later found to be counterfeit. The teen reportedly told police he did not know the bill was counterfeit, but then he gave conflicting accounts of how it came to him. He was arrested in connection with passing counterfeit currency, and his parents were contacted.
