The Michigan Attorney General's office has charged an off-duty police officer with felony charges after he pulled a gun on a teenager. The teen has filed a federal civil lawsuit. The state attorney general Dana Nessel released a press release stating that officer Chad Vorce was arrested on Thursday, April 7. One count of malfeasance in office is a felony that can result in up to five years in prison. Felonious assault with a dangerous weapon is a felony that can result in up to four years in prison. If you are convicted of felony firearm possession, you will be sentenced to two years in the Clinton County District Court. After being fired for these crimes, Vorce was reinstated months later after the department said he had learned his lesson and shown genuine remorse. A court of law is the state's belief. The AG's investigation found that Vorce, who was not on duty at the time of the incident, broke the law when he pulled a gun out on Alexander Hamilton, a 19-year-old paperboy. Nessel said that the assessment of the incident showed dangerous behavior. The people who swear to protect and serve must be careful. We will hold those who violate the oath accountable. On the day after the charges were made, Hamilton filed a federal lawsuit accusing the officer and his colleagues of violating his Fourth and 14th Amendment rights. He said the state authorities racially discriminated against him when they reported the incident to others. The lawsuit uses a rendering of the opening song of the Hamilton Broadway musical based on the founding father with the same name, to play off the young man's name. His lawyer says his client was in the area of Shadybrook Lane and Driftwood Drive on the day of the altercation only to perform his job. The teen was driving in a manner that he claims to have been suspicious when he saw the minivan. According to the lawsuit, there had been some theft-related crimes in his neighborhood. The officer who doubled as a volunteer firefighter asked the teen what he was doing. Hamilton allegedly replied, "I'm just doing me." He called the Clinton County Central Dispatch because he couldn't get an answer or the van's plates to run his tags. The claim says the first line of the report indicated that race was an issue. Hamilton was followed by Vorce in his vehicle. The officer believed that the van was attempting to assault him. If Hamilton did it again, he was going to fire shots. Hamilton said that he was trying to get away, but that the vehicle that he was in gave him no room to make a U-turn. The officer said the teen tried to pull his gun on him for the first time. He told dispatch that if help didn't arrive quickly, things would turn out bad. Hamilton said he tried to escape to the Sunoco at 3955 Ernest Way because he was afraid of being killed there.

When he emerged from the vehicle, he identified himself as a police officer and then pulled out a gun on Hamilton. The location of the incident was out of the jurisdiction of the DPD, but Officer Smith arrived at the scene despite the fact that he works in the same department. The lawyer writes that Smith claimed he responded because he was close to the scene and that he didn't know that the person was the victim. Smith removed the delivery driver from his van and started to arrest him because he might have committed assault with a dangerous weapon, according to the filing. The trooper arrived on the scene. He and Smith did not stop their colleague from talking to the teen. There was no basis to arrest Hamilton according to two other sergeants at the Lansing Post. The City of DeWitt and Bruce Ferguson are named as defendants in the lawsuit. The officer's actions were extreme and outrageous, and it was claimed that they caused the lawsuit to suffer emotional distress. Smith was in uniform and responded to the scene in a marked patrol car, so everything he did here was clearly under the color of State Law. He is suing for damages for the emotional and psychological injuries he has suffered due to being exposed to police-involved violence. Until the day he dies, Hamilton wants Vorce to be barred from law enforcement. The 65A District Court will be where Vorce will appear before Judge Michael E. Clarizio. He will take a preliminary exam on April 28, at 2 p.m. The Bureau of Land Management acknowledged that it failed to take proper precautions when replacing a boardwalk.
