New Detroit Police chief escapes carjacking
Detroit Police Chief James Craig was in a marked squad car with mounted lights when the suspect approached.
Just four months on the job, Detroit’s new police chief got an early taste of the city’s hardscrabble streets.
While in his patrol car at an intersection on Jefferson two weeks ago, Police Chief James Craig was nearly carjacked, police spokeswoman Kelly Miner confirmed today.
Craig said he was in a marked police car with mounted lights when a man quickly tried to approach the side of his car. Craig, who became police chief in June, retold the story Monday during a program designed to crack down on carjackings.
So far, the city has recorded more than 580 carjackings – on pace with past years.
