HOLLAND, Mich. (WOOD) — A traffic stop in Holland is drawing controversy after a pastor witnessed it and posted videos of the incident questioning the officers' use of force
The Holland Department of Public Safety posted about the Friday incident on Facebook. The agency explained that a person in the stopped vehicle matched the description of a domestic assault suspect that was involved in an earlier situation involving a gun.
With that intel, officers treated it as a high-risk traffic stop.
They arrested the suspect they were looking for on charges of domestic assault and being a felon in possession of a firearm, in addition to an unrelated arrest warrant.
Officers also arrested, cited and released the driver on an unrelated driving offense.
Reverend Denise Kingdom Grier said she was at the church preparing for prayer with other church leaders when she heard shouts from police in the parking lot.
