3-year-old boy injured by broken glass after man kicks window on a vehicle
That incident happened Sunday on eastbound Interstate 94, near Allard Avenue, which is at exit 224B. Multiple 911 calls were made to the Detroit Regional Communication Center about the assault and destruction of property.
The suspect kicked out the window of a woman's vehicle, police said, and the circumstances injured a 3-year-old boy who was in a child car seat in the rear passenger side. When troopers arrived, they determined the child's lacerations required immediate medical attention. He was taken to a local hospital for treatment of his injuries and listed in stable condition.
In the meantime, the suspect fled the scene.
Others also told police that the woman's home in Eastpoint had been the target of a home invasion. Troopers went to that address, but did not find the suspect there. Follow up investigation identified a vehicle that may have been associated with a family member of the suspect, and they later found both that vehicle and the 22-year-old Detroit man in the east side of Detroit.
The suspect was lodged at Detroit Detention Center, with charges pending prosecutor review.
"Great work by the troopers on scene using technology and their training to take this dangerous suspect off the street," Michigan State Police F/Lt. Mike Shaw said about the case. "They were able calm down this family and the child and reassure them on the scene and during the investigation."

Kenmore man sentenced for injuring woman in hit-and-run after Bills game
BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) — A Kenmore man was sentenced to 1 1/3 to four years in prison on Monday after he injured a woman in a hit-and-run in Orchard Park following a Bills game, the Erie County District Attorney's Office announced. Alfred Santiago's driver's license was revoked as part of the sentence. Officials said the 63-year-old woman he hit is still receiving treatment. Just before 5 p.m. on Sept. 8, 2024, Santiago, 41, was reportedly driving under the influence of alcohol on West Abbott Grove Avenue when he hit the woman. Witnesses tried to stop Santiago, but he left the scene without calling police, officials said. The woman was taken to ECMC to be treated for fractured ribs and upper body injuries. Santiago was later located by police on Victoria Boulevard. Santiago pleaded guilty in February to one count of leaving the scene of an incident resulting in serious physical injury and one count of driving while intoxicated.

R.I. Turnpike & Bridge Authority to pay $515K for State Police patrols over three years

Weisman/Rhode Island Current) Rhode Island State Police will continue 24/7 patrols of the four bridges owned by the Rhode Island Turnpike & Bridge Authority (RITBA) for another three years, according to an agreement reached between the two agencies in mid-June. The memorandum of understanding calls for RITBA to pay the base salaries of two troopers through the end of June 2028 to assist with speed enforcement, potential vehicle collisions, and preventing deaths by suicide. Under the new contract, the authority will pay about $515,000 to the State Police, with payments scheduled on a quarterly basis over the three-year period. A similar agreement was first reached by the RITBA and the State Police in 2021, though a copy was not immediately made available. At the time, the Newport Daily News reported that a speed study by RITBA found 29% of drivers were traveling at least 15 miles per hour over the limit on the Pell and Jamestown Verrazzano bridges. Then–State Police Superintendent Col. James Manni told RITBA's board in October 2021 that 'a gray cruiser is the biggest deterrent we have in the state right now,' according to the meeting minutes. How much RITBA will pay the Rhode Island State Police Year 1 (July 1, 2025 – June 30, 2026): $165,417 Year 2 (July 1, 2026 – June 30, 2027): $172,034 Year 3 (July 1, 2027 – June 30, 2028): $177,195 The amount is equivalent to the salaries of two 'less senior' officers who will be assigned to posts covering the Pell, Mount Hope, Jamestown Verrazzano, and Sakonnet River bridges — along with Route 138 through Jamestown and the 10 smaller bridges associated with the state highway. State Police will determine which troopers are assigned to patrol RITBA bridges, with day-to-day rotations likely. Only one trooper will be assigned to the bridges at a time per shift. One trooper is scheduled to patrol the bridges from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m., while the other works from 9 p.m. to 8 a.m., said Lt. Col. Robert Creamer, the State Police deputy superintendent and chief of field operations. In addition to 24-hour patrols, State Police enforce weight restrictions on the Mount Hope and Pell bridges at least bi-weekly. The Pell Bridge, which was constructed in 1969, has a weight limit of 80,000 pounds, but vehicles weighing up to 160,000 pounds can cross if they are given a permit. No vehicles over 60,000 pounds are allowed to cross the Mount Hope Bridge, which was built in 1929. Under the new contract, RITBA may provide office space for troopers if available. The closest State Police facility to the authority's Jamestown office near the Pell Bridge is the Wickford Barracks in North Kingstown. SUBSCRIBE: GET THE MORNING HEADLINES DELIVERED TO YOUR INBOX

Youngstown police early Sunday grapple with 2 large crowds causing havoc
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (WKBN) — Reports said city police early Sunday were faced with two large crowds that tied up every car on the road. Read next: YPD officers have to take cover as gunfire breaks out while they investigate fight Reports said a large crowd in the Commerce Street parking lot of the Hookah Lounge about 2:15 a.m. blocked the entire lot. People were drinking, dancing on cars and there were at least two fights, reports said. Reports said nearly every car in the city was needed to control that crowd, and when the crowd was broken up, it reformed downtown. About 2:35 a.m., reports said every car was needed for another large crowd on South Avenue between Dickson and Cameron avenues where a large crowd from a nearby bar, the Local Celebrity, blocked parking lots, sidewalks and streets before moving to a nearby gas station, where they 'filled the lot to capacity, blast music from their vehicles, dance in the parking lot and on top of their vehicles while filming themselves and each other while they disturb the peace of anyone who might be in nearby homes, trying to sleep.' Reports said this is a 'regular occurrence' and that officers had a similar situation the evening before. Additionally, cars were parked on sidewalks and illegally parked on the street, blocking traffic on South Avenue, reports said. Two people were issued citations for fourth-degree misdemeanor disorderly conduct charges for walking in the street and ignoring requests to walk on the sidewalk. Also, reports said, several people who were fighting were sprayed with pepper spray. A message was left with city spokesman Andy Resnick asking if the department will have a strategy in the future to deal with large crowds. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
