The facts surrounding the traffic stop of Cushingberry last week by Detroit police aren’t entirely clear. We know he was pulled over after a short pursuit that may have involved an attempt to ram a police car, that he identified himself as a city councilman, that a police supervisor was called, that an open bottle of alcohol and marijuana were found in the car, and that he was ticketed and allowed to drive away without being asked to take a breath test for alcohol.
From there things turn bizarre, mostly because of Cushingberry’s clownish spinning of the incident. In a series of odd television interviews, he claimed, among other things, that the bottle was empty, that the marijuana belonged to his passenger — “he likes pot a lot,” Cushingberry posted on Facebook — and that they weren’t leaving a strip club, as media reports alleged — “We never saw a t--, Fox News is full of sh--” he said in another post.
