(WWJ) — A Clinton Township teenager is the first suspect to be charged in connection with the shooting death of Oakland County Sheriff’s deputy Brad Reckling.
Karim Blake More, 18, was arraigned Wednesday on multiple charges, one of three teens taken into custody after what Sheriff Mike Bouchard described as “an ambush” on Detroit’s east side Saturday night.
Moore has been charged with three counts of lying to police during a violent crime investigation and one count of resisting arrest.
He was not charged directly with Reckling’s killing. Moore is being held on $100,000 bond.
Authorities have not released any details about the other two suspects, who remain in custody as the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office reviews possible charges.
Moore was allegedly in an SUV that had been stolen from Red Oaks Waterpark in Madison Heights sometime Saturday afternoon. Later that night Reckling and two other deputies with the auto theft unit were led to Detroit’s east side while investigating, according to the sheriff’s office.
