Detroit police commissioner turns out to be felon who once threatened to shoot a cop
Wayne County prosecutor says gun charges against Darious Morris could be refiled.
A recently elected Detroit police commissioner has withdrawn his promise to resign, even after a local news outlet made public his criminal past — as well as his antagonistic interactions with cops.
On December 17, Darious Morris, 38, was sworn in as one of nearly a dozen members of the Board of Police Commissioners, entrusted with overseeing the Detroit Police Department. Morris won the seat representing District 3 on a write-in campaign after no other name appeared on the ballot.
'If you would have put your hands on him, I would have shot you!'
However, a report from WXYZ-TV just a few weeks later led Morris to consider tendering his resignation.
Morris has a criminal record that extends all the way back to 2009, when he pled no contest to felony fraud and impersonating a public officer charges in connection with what he described as "real estate fraud."
