car ends with felony arrest

One Westland resident got a bit more
than he planned when he flagged down a
police car seeking a ride home.
According to police reports, Derrick
Horne, 39, was walking though the
Norwayne district March 11 when he
waved down Ofc. Reed Zielinski and
asked for a ride. The officer, mindful of
both the Compassionate City and Protect
and Serve mandates in the city, explained
that while he would be glad to help a resi-
dent in need, police procedures required
that he search Horne for weapons before
allowing him to ride in the patrol car.
According to Zielinski's report of the
incident, the interaction led to the discov-
