Detroit police officer charged with domestic violence after threatening to ‘execute’ victim

MT. CLEMENS, Michigan (FOX 2) – A Detroit police officer was charged with domestic violence in early October after allegedly threatening to “execute” someone.

Louis Allen Wilson, 47, was arraigned Oct. 23 in connection with an alleged domestic violence incident in Harrison Township.

The Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office said Wilson went to his home on Tuesday and told a woman he was going to execute her. The victim ran to a neighbor’s house and called the police.

Wilson was charged with domestic violence and given a $5,000 personal bond. He is scheduled for a pretrial appearance on Monday, Nov. 25 at 9 a.m.

Macomb County Prosecutor Pete Lucido previously said he expects domestic violence cases to continue to rise in the county. In the first seven months of 2024, the prosecutor said there were 2,105 cases of domestic violence.

“It’s my responsibility to make sure that justice is done, regardless of a person’s profession or position,” Lucido said. “Domestic violence charges, especially as a second offense, is a serious matter and no one is above the law.”
