TAYLOR — A drunken Ohio man who was in Detroit for a weekend tennis tournament became argumentative during the early morning hours of Sept. 5, and demanded his girlfriend drive him back to Cleveland.
The couple argued, but then packed their bags and the woman began to drive them home.
However, once they were on southbound I-75, the man changed his mind about returning to Ohio, and demanded that his girlfriend drive him back to Detroit. She refused, and he reached over and tried to choke her.
She exited the freeway at Eureka Road, and pulled into the parking lot of Hooter’s, where she flagged down police officers and asked them to remove her boyfriend from the car. He voluntarily exited the car, and was handcuffed and taken into custody.
The girlfriend said she did not want to file any charges against her boyfriend. She did not answer a phone call from police officers the next day. The case was forwarded to the Wayne County Prosecutor’s office.
