"Detroit Police Commissioner Found in Car with Prostitute, Seeks Assistance from Deputies" 

A Detroit Police Board of Commissioners member, Bryan Ferguson, has resigned amidst scandal after being caught engaging with a prostitute in his car and subsequently requesting assistance from officers. Representing District 1 for the DPBC and serving as the former chair of Detroit's police oversight board, Ferguson made the announcement following the revelation of his involvement with a sex worker on Wednesday morning.

Expressing gratitude for the opportunity to serve the residents of Detroit in police oversight, Ferguson stated, "After further consideration of the best interests of my family and the Board, I am choosing to resign as District 1 Police Commissioner effective immediately."

Undercover narcotics agents from the Wayne County Sheriff’s Department observed Ferguson involved in a lewd act with a known sex worker at approximately 7:15 a.m. on Wednesday. Captain Jason Bates recounted that Ferguson, upon being discovered, identified himself as a Detroit police commissioner and requested assistance, stating his position. Bates emphasized that titles or positions do not exempt individuals from the law.

Ferguson, however, asserted that the allegations were a "big misunderstanding" and claimed to have nothing to hide. He described the situation as rough, explaining that the woman, whom he professed not to know, approached his truck unexpectedly.

Despite Ferguson's protestations, he received a misdemeanor citation for indecent or obscene conduct involving a sex act with a prostitute, according to Bates. Earlier, Ferguson had hinted at stepping away from the board, and he formalized his resignation on Thursday.

The Detroit Police Board of Commissioners did not immediately respond to inquiries from The Post regarding the incident.
