(WWJ) — A Detroit police officer has been charged with domestic violence for allegedly telling a woman he was "going to execute her."
Last week the Macomb County Prosecutor's Office charged 47-year-old Louis Allen Wilson with domestic violence — second offense, a one year misdemeanor. The prosecutor's office announced the case on Monday.
The charge stems from an alleged domestic violence incident at Wilson's home in Harrison Township on Tuesday, Oct. 22.
The prosecutor's say Wilson came home and told the victim he was going to execute her. She then fled to a neighbor's house and called 911. He was arraigned the following day.
The prosecutor's office did not specify the relationship between Wilson and the victim and it was not immediately clear whether they lived together. Authorities did not release any further information about the incident, including what happened leading up to the alleged threat.
Wilson's personal bond was set at $5,000 and his next court date has been scheduled for Nov. 25.
The prosecutor's office did not say whether DPD has disciplined Wilson following the alleged incident.
"It is my responsibility to ensure that justice is served, regardless of a person's profession or position. The charge of domestic violence, especially as a second offense, is a serious matter, and no one is above the law. We are committed to a fair and thorough process to protect the rights of the victim and uphold the integrity of our legal system," said Macomb County Prosecutor Pete Lucido, per a press release.
The prosecutor's office is telling anyone who is experiencing domestic violence, or knows someone else who is, that help is available. Resources can be found at https://www.macombgov.org/domesticviolence.
