Warren man arrested after officer is injured
A Warren man was detained on various charges Friday and a police officer was injured during an incident at a Chesterfield Township mobile home park, police said.
Chesterfield Township police said they responded at about 6:45 a.m. to a call of a man wandering in Carriage Way Trailer Park off 24 Mile Road. Police found Joseph Devoy, 42, standing between two units, and was disoriented and had cuts and scrapes on his head, they said.
Police discovered he was carrying a semi-automatic handgun, and Devoy fought with officers, causing an officer to suffer a “significant injury to his knee,” police said in a news release. The officer was taken by ambulance to an area hospital was treated and released later that day.
Devoy was arraigned Friday in 42-II District Court on charges of assault and resisting police officer causing injury, possession of methamphetamines, possession of analogues and carrying a concealed firearm.
County jail records indicated Devoy was being held in jail Friday without bond.
Devoy has a handful of prior convictions in Macomb Circuit Court.
He was given timeserved and released from jail but ordered to pay $39,500 with his co-defendant in restitution to Progressive Insurance in January after pleading to attempting concealing of stolen property between $200 and $1,000. Three original charges were dismissed.
In a separate case, after failing to show up for his sentencing and several adjournments, he was sentenced in January to timeserved, 90 days. He also was ordered to pay $743 to the victim. He previously pleaded no contest to unlawful driving away of a vehicle.
Last July, he was sentenced to time-served for possession of less than 25 grams of a controlled substance.
In March 2017, he was sentenced to 90 days, less than four months served, for entering a structure without permission, a reduction from a stalking charge.
