HIGHLAND PARK, Mich. (WXYZ) — It’s a story you’ll only see on Action News, according to a police report obtained by 7 Action News, Highland Park Police Lt. Jamille Edwards says she was driving northbound on Woodward near Davison on Friday morning when she had witnessed a traffic violation.

The lieutenant says she was cut off by another driver who had two teenage passengers. She says one of those passengers rolled down a window and spit in the direction of her vehicle.

As a result, police reports indicate the lieutenant had the driver arrested for failing to carry a copy of her current driver’s license, and also attempted to have the 2 teens arrested.

“She appeared to have been out of line, and very much rude, even though she wasn’t in uniform and had no badge,” says a security guard who witnessed the incident at the kids school.

The two teens were released after being handcuffed and temporarily detained.

7 Action News has made a request for comment from the city of Highland Park and we are awaiting a response.
