Ypsilanti police seek your help in solving a murder last night

Melvin Dobbins Jr, 28, was shot to death in his Ford Mustang as he tried to back out of a driveway, and away from assailants last night in the 400 block of East Ainsworth about 11:15. Relatives suggested he was there for some kind of drug transaction and Ypsilanti Police Chief Matt Harshberger said "It appears there was a robbery".

Come on folks, two men were seen running from the scene, hopefully somebody knows SOMETHING. Let's be heroes and rat these assholes out. If you live in that neighborhood you'd do well to practice addition by subtraction if you get our drift. 734-483-5849 if you have info and there is also a reward number, 800-773-2587, through the State of Michigan.

You bet you can leave confidential tips here and we'll pass them along, just like we did before. If we're gonna clean up the city it starts with YOU making a call or sending an email.

Ypsi police to start using TASERS

Ypsi Police Chief Matt Harsberger said the city will buy 45 of the devices with a grant from the Feds for 25 large and the rest in drug forfeiture cash.

Not a bad idea. Anything that can cut down on potential loss of life with a simple disabling weapon rather than a lethal weapon is a good way to go. Maybe Washtenaw County LAWNET officers who have an annoying tendency to shoot unarmed people in the back could use one or two.
