Press Release

Mount Clemens, MI – Macomb County Prosecutor Peter J. Lucido announced that 22-year-old Alonte Davis, of Detroit was arraigned on charges and is being held on a $1 million bond. 

It is alleged that on Tuesday, April 28, 2026, Davis disregarded a Warren Police Officer’s attempt to initiate a traffic stop at 11 Mile and Ryan Roads. Davis wove in and out of traffic until the pursuit was terminated. A Warren Special Operations Unit located the vehicle and arrested Davis. It is further alleged that crack cocaine and a black Glock with an extended magazine and full auto “switch” was in Davis’s vehicle. 

On Wednesday, April 29, 2026, Davis was arraigned before Judge Steven M. Bieda in the 37th District Court in Warren, MI. Davis is charged with the following offenses:

  • Police Officer – Fleeing – Third Degree – Vehicle Code, a 5-year felony
  • Weapons – Carrying Concealed, a 5-year felony
  • Weapons – Firearms – Possession by a Prohibited Person, a 5-year felony
  • Weapons – Felony Firearm, a 2-year felony – consecutive to main charge
  • Controlled Substances – Possession (Cocaine, Heroin or Other Narcotic) Less than 25 Grams, a 4-year felony
  • Weapons – Firearms – Devices to Convert Semiautomatic to Automatic, a 4-year felony
  • Operating – License Suspended, a 93-day misdemeanor
  • Habitual Offender – Second Offense Notice, an aggravating sentencing factor

These are the maximum charges available under the law based on the evidence presented to date.

Judge Bieda set bond for Davis at $1 million cash or surety. If he posts bond and is released, he must wear a steel cuff tether. He must also surrender his firearms.

Davis is scheduled for a Probable Cause Conference before Judge Suzanne Faunce at the 37th District Court on Tuesday, May 12, 2026, at 8:45 a.m.

“Every time someone chooses to flee from the police, they turn a controllable situation into a volatile one. Fleeing is high-speed gambling with innocent lives—drivers, pedestrians, even the officers themselves. It’s not just an act of evasion; it’s a decision that dramatically increases the likelihood of serious injury or death. I encourage the Michigan legislature to establish mandatory minimum prison sentences for those who flee from law enforcement,” said Macomb County Prosecutor Peter J. Lucido.

The Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office represents the People. We are committed to achieving justice and following the laws of the State of Michigan. All individuals who are accused of a crime are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.
