Marquise Cromer, the 21-year-old man accused of killing a Detroit police sergeant, refused to attend court hearings for a second day today. A judge said the suspect had been combative and threw urine at jail personnel.
“I’ve heard… that he’s being very uncooperative and combative, and throwing urine on people,” 36th District Judge Deborah Lewis Langston told a brother of Cromer who complained in court that he has been unable to see him, despite several tries at the Wayne County Jail.
“Your brother is not cooperating with the authorities,” Langston said. “That’s why you can’t see him, not that the authorities are stopping him from being seen.”
