The Wayne County Prosecutor is reviewing a request for charges in the alleged assault of a man by a Detroit Police Commander who was working as a bouncer at a bar.

And employees at Romeo Rim are showing their support for their co-worker Mike Karpovich who is still recovering from a major brain injury.  The employees today wore shirts that say #karpstrong.  

Commander Tim Leach is suspended and Detective Fred Person is on restricted duty.  Both were working at the Ottava Via Bar while off duty in the incident that is on surveillance video. They did not report the incident as required.
