Wyoming officer severely injured by bed of screws

WYOMING, Mich. — A Wyoming officer is recovering after his feet were impaled by screws while responding to a robbery.

It happened Sunday morning at a medical marijuana manufacturing facility in the 5300 block of Clay Avenue. Officers spotted the two suspects running from the business and ultimately took them into custody with the help of a K-9. Police said they recovered a handgun dropped by one of the suspects, along with several marijuana plants they had loaded into their vehicle.

While searching the scene as part of the investigation, Wyoming Officer Dustin Cook jumped over the facility’s barbed wire fence and landed on a makeshift bed of screws the business owner created to increase security.

Cook was taken to a nearby hospital with severe injuries, according to the Wyoming Department of Public Safety. He was recovering at home Monday.
