3/12/13 - A Michigan State Police investigation into a man's complaint that a trooper from the Brighton Post held him at gunpoint during a traffic stop has revealed no wrongdoing. Police spokeswoman Shanon Banner says a letter was sent to Kim Sachs of Freeland. It notified him the investigation revealed "the facts do not support the allegation that the trooper acted inappropriately." The stop took place Oct. 29 amid stepped-up patrols during an investigation into several shootings along and near I-96 in southeast Michigan, including Livingston County. Sachs said the trooper pulled him over and threatened to kill him if he didn't show his hands. He said he believes it was part of the shootings investigation. Raulie Casteel of Wixom was later arrested and charged in the shootings. Sachs requested that State Police review video of the stop from the trooperâs squad car camera, but officials said there was no video as the unit was not working that day. (JK)
