Curfew Crackdown at Detroit Fireworks
Description
During Detroit’s big Ford Fireworks show, police detained 180 minors for curfew violations—171 from Detroit, 9 from out of town—each slapped with $250 tickets and their parents held accountable. The curfew, enforced for safety amid recent downtown unrest, required those under 21 to be with an adult after 8 p.m. Police also arrested 19 others, including 12 for carrying concealed weapons. While the fireworks themselves ran smoothly, post-show scuffles were quickly contained thanks to coordinated law enforcement efforts. Just before the show, police shot a man during a chase, claiming he was armed; he’s in critical condition. A 19-year-old was arrested prior to the shooting. Critics argue the curfew unfairly punishes responsible youth for the actions of a few.
