Altercation Between Employees Leads to Arrest

A fight between two workers at a Chesterfield Township factory has led to the arrest of a 23-year-old man on a weapons charge.

According to a report in the Macomb Daily, Joshua James-Earl Green, of Detroit, Green got in an altercation with another employee and claimed he was going to get a gun and ran out of the building.

A patrol car responded to the 911 call placed just before 8 a.m. Friday morning and saw Green running across the parking lot.

According to the report, the officer called for Green to stop but he refused, leading to a foot chase of the suspect.

Green ran into a factory where police found him without a weapon.

He offered no explanation for why he fled from the officer.

Moments later, however, officers found a .38 Beretta in a trash can near where the suspect was apprehended.

Witnesses of the altercations between Green and two other men say the suspect run to his car and remove something from under the seat of the vehicle. That’s when the police patrol car arrived and the pursuit began.

Green later admitted to ditching the handgun in the garbage while fleeing from police.

The suspect was arraigned in 42-2 District Court and ordered jail in-lieu of $4,000 bond.
