A Michigan state police trooper has been acquitted of criminal charges after punching a black man more than a dozen times during a 2022 jaywalking stop in Saginaw.

A Saginaw County jury found 47-year-old trooper Paul Arrowood not guilty Monday, October 26th, following a five-day trial, according to WNEM.

He faced common law misconduct in office, a felony punishable by up to five years, and misdemeanor assault and battery.

The incident, captured on body camera footage, happened on September 4, 2022, when Errol Wood and another trooper approached Michael Wilson, who was walking in the roadway on Weber Street.

I mean, I'm still kind of in at all of it all, but the presentation show today at the theater, Weatherly Theater here in Grand Rapids, and I just wanted to make it known that I had shared the director credits with the following.

He's Jake with WNEM TV5, Colette with TV5, and Elsie with TV5, David Dickerson of the Michigan Country Music Hall of Fame, Eric DeBard, he's also a member of the Michigan Country Music Hall of Fame.

The Michigan Country Music Hall of Fame all together, and then President Bill Clinton, Um, also, uh, the current president, Donald J. Trump and, uh, the Michigan country music hall of fame itself in the rope or the rope is the reunion of professional entertainers out of Nashville.

And so I asked our director of marketing to help me put together a public service announcement.

So you or your listeners might have seen this on WNEM.

We're also going to be putting it out other places.

And the primary message is just a pure PSA for the public, not talking to Dow Credit Union members, just the public.
