A Michigan woman has gone public after her younger brother, a 21-year-old college student, was pepper sprayed and detained by East Lansing Police during Welcome Week. She described the incident as unlawful and traumatic, saying her family is now pushing for accountability. In a TikTok video, the woman explained that her brother was waiting outside Dave’s Hot Chicken on August 23 when a disagreement broke out between his friend and another person.
