Court documents allege protester blinded Detroit police helicopter flight crew with laser
By Fox 2 Staff
DETROIT (FOX 2) - A man is accused of shining a laser at a Detroit police helicopter, temporarily blinding the pilots, at a protest last year, according to court documents unsealed this week.
The federal documents allege that Michael Sam Hurd was attending a Detroit Will Breathe protest when he shined a laser at a helicopter that was watching the crowd on Woodward Avenue in Downtown Detroit at 12:30 a.m. August 23, 2020.
The court documents claim that the light blinded the flight crew momentarily.
A camera on the helicopter was used to pinpoint a location and camera footage from multiple businesses from Rock Security Company showed the area where the laser originated from.

On the screen, Lizmary Fernández starts a livestream and takes a deep breath. She looks strong and resolute. She’s surrounded by friends. And she’s about to make a very different video than one of her that’s been circulating on Facebook for a few weeks.
“My name is Lizmary Fernández. I’m 20 years old, and I’m a recent graduate of Michigan State University. And today, I wanted to share my story of my sexual assault,” she says.
DETROIT Retiring Detroit Police Chief James Craig has not declared himself a candidate, but Republican Party insiders say his “law and order” bona fides would make him a formidable challenger against Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer next year.
Since 2013, Craig has presided over one of the most violent and liberal cities in the country one hit hard by COVID-19, which he contracted last year as his department enforced Whitmer orders.
Although he has no elected experience, Craig could enter the race as the presumed frontrunner among Republicans, including activists who believe COVID regulations were too strict, crime rates are too high and the 2020 election was rigged.
