Milan police were kept busy on the traffic beat March 10 through 17.
On March 10 at approximately 10 p.m., officers stopped a 42-year-old Milan man near the intersection of Wabash Street and Neckel Court for failing to wear a seatbelt. An informational check showed that the man had multiple suspensions of his driver's license. He was arrested and cited for not wearing his seatbelt.
On March 16, officers stopped a vehicle at the intersection of County and Dexter streets for a defective brake light. After identifying the driver, police were informed the woman, a 42-year-old Milan resident, had a felony warrant for her arrest issued by Washtenaw County law enforcement. The woman was arrested.
In the early hours of the same day, police investigated what appeared to be suspicious activity inside a vehicle in a parking lot on Dexter Street. Officers found a person in possession of marijuana and made the arrest.
Police made a traffic stop at the intersection of East Main Street and Plank Road at about 6 p.m. March 11. The driver, a 44-year-old Maybee woman, admitted that she had no driver's license and had never acquired one. The woman was arrested.
A man stopped by police at the intersection of West Main and Church streets at 10:38 p.m. March 12 was found to have a felony warrant issued by the Michigan State Police for possession of cocaine. He was arrested and later turned over to the state police.
Assault
Police are investigating a report of simple assault at Milan High School. A student reported being threatened and spit on by a senior student.
Fraud
Milan police have investigated several instances of checks written with insufficient funds or signed fraudulently in recent weeks, and dealt with two more this past week.
Businesses on West Main and Dexter streets each reported checks failing to clear, one on March 10 and the other on March 12, respectively. In both cases, the business owners were able to provide the name of a suspect who was sent a 10-day notice by police to either pay the missing funds or face arrest.
Another report of fraud was received March 13 from a local pharmacy. A prescription for the drug Adderall had been filled Feb. 23 and picked up two days later, but the doctor whose signature was on the prescription had not been working on the date listed. The case remains open.
