Kawan Taylor, 34, was wanted for several murders. Last Friday, police in Inkster tracked down their suspect – even as he tried to hide under a lawn chair.
“I live here, it’s my city, it’s my community and I feel obligated to be out here and see what’s going on,” Inkster Police Chief Bill Ratliff said.

“Those things are thing we need to stop trending upwards,” he said.
