“They’re stopping every car both ways, and they’re taking license plate numbers, names and addresses,” one driver said after being stopped at an FBI checkpoint.
Long lines of traffic formed as travelers attempted to enter or leave the Village of Armada; government agents roadblocked all routes around town and put every driver under scrutiny as part of a massive murder investigation.The blanket search was conducted on the evening of Thursday, July 31, 2014. Swarms of FBI agents, Michigan State Police, and local police officers joined forces to create three massive checkpoints around the small community (population 1,730), causing traffic to be “backed up for miles.”
The police action came one week after a local teen girl was found murdered in a drainage ditch on July 24th. Short on clues in the search for April Millsap’s killer, investigators decided to stop, question, and document every traveler in town — “car by car.”

This is the first I have heard about this. Usually the Michiganders on FreeRepublic are up on this kind of thing - very small village north of Detroit, 98% white, affluent - a description of the hair of a man was given, but nothing about skin collar, ethnicity. That's the crappy PC part this is so enraging. Did read that there were two white guys in a van, however.

Delete??
skin color - I do know how to spell color ;)
ReplyDeleteNo, I didn't understand what you meant when you said "nothing about skin color, ethnicity" and then you said "Did read that there were two white guys in a van, however."
DeleteTo clarify, and follow-up, the person that I read about originally, the police were looking for someone with sandy or reddish colored hair - a police drawing was also provided - now they are saying that it is a white guy they are looking for. The two white guys in the gray van are no longer of interest.
ReplyDeleteAll of my babbling here gets away from the original point of the story -- the justification for stopping every single person coming in and going out of that village. Makes no sense and was wrong the way they were doing it.
Agreed, needless to say.
