Milford Man Seeks To Suppress Statements To PoliceMilford Man Seeks To Suppress Statements To Police

9/5/14 - A motion is being considered to suppress the statements made to police by a Milford man arrested following an incident involving female students. 32-year-old Jordan Kent Walters is charged with one count of accosting a child for immoral purposes and one count of failing to register as a sex offender. The charges stem from an incident last September at the Milford Starbucks. Police Chief Tom Lindberg says three female students in the cafe became uncomfortable with Walters behavior and texted the grandfather of one of them, who came to pick up the girls, He then reported the incident to the police. Officers recognized the description given to them, and three days later they arrested Walters. He had been set to go to trial in May, but that has been adjourned pending a motion to suppress the statements he made to police because he has been diagnosed with autism. Prosecutors have argued that police had no knowledge of that diagnosis and that Walters statements were made freely and without coercion. Oakland County Judge Leo Bowman will issue a ruling on the motion after considering the arguments presented by both sides. Walters remains free on bond. (JK)
