DETROIT (WWJ) -- A Wayne County man is facing a slew of charges for allegedly shooting at police officers last month.
The Wayne County Prosecutor's Office says Detroit police officers were investigating 24-year-old Glasco Miles for an alleged robbery when they saw him riding a bicycle in the area of Edsel and Omaha on the city's southwest side just before 2 p.m. on Aug. 21. Authorities say Miles pulled out a handgun and fired a shot at the police, before fleeing the scene on foot.
Miles was ultimately arrested later that afternoon at a home in the 2400 block of Electric Street.
Police had been investigating Miles for a robbery earlier that month, but the prosecutor's office did not elaborate on that robbery.
Miles has been charged with assault with intent to murder. assault with intent to do great bodily harm, felonious assault, three counts of felony firearm, carrying a concealed weapon, felon in possession of a firearm and resisting and obstructing the police.
He was arraigned on Aug. 30 and is due back in court on Thursday. The prosecutor's office says Miles' court date for this run-in with the police is expected to be pushed back a day so it can be heard on the same day as his robbery case before Judge Kenyetta Stanford Jones.
