According to MLive, Sha’Teina Grady El and her husband, Dan Grady El were ordered to leave the scene after deputies responded to a shooting in their Apple Ridge neighborhood of Ypsilanti Township.
Washtenaw County Sheriff Jerry Clayton said the couple then began “obstructing,” the deputies’ efforts to secure the scene.
Police contend that when officers tried to physically remove the two from the scene, the two resisted.
That is when a deputy picked Sha’Teina up and punched in the head before placing both her and her husband into police custody.
Sheriff Clayton said that the officer involved in the incident has been placed on administrative leave while the department performs an investigation.
