Former Westland officer facing criminal charges
Former Westland Police Ofc. Shawn Dennis Davidson is facing criminal charges of carrying a concealed firearm under the influence of alcohol and trespassing.
Davidson, 52, a New Boston resident, and Gregory Jay Tittle, 53, of Carleton, both face multiple charges in connection to an incident at a downriver bar at about 6:30 p.m. April 22. The men were at the bar, located in the 110 block of Oak Street in Wyandotte, while Davidson was off police duty.
Davidson's inappropriate conduct prompted bar employees to ask him to leave the premises and when he refused, Wyandotte police were called to the scene. Davidson was arrested by responding officers who found a loaded handgun in Davidson's waistband, according to a report from the office of Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy.Tittle reportedly took the handgun from Davidson's waist and allegedly pointed it at Davidson's head. Tittle was subsequently arrested at a different bar nearby, police said. Tittle has been charged with carrying a concealed firearm under influence of alcohol and reckless use of a firearm.
Both men were arraigned May 23 in 27th District Court and each given a $30,000 bond and ordered to wear an alcohol tether.
