'They treated me like a felon even though I was commissioned by the city to do this...I felt threatened for my life.,' artist Sheefy McFly said.
A Detriot artist was arrested last week after police approached him about suspicions of vandalism while he was working on a city-commissioned mural.
According to McFly, he was issued a permit for the work by City Walls — a city-sponsored program that commissions artwork in public or city-owned spaces in an effort to deter graffiti — and that the police questioned him about his artwork on his first day working on the mural. However, with permit in hand, the police left him alone.that he felt after a few days that police in the area had gotten used to him being there and on Wednesday he forgot to take the permit with him.
McFly said he spent 24 hours in the Detroit Detention Center before he was released. He will appear in court on July 3 in relation to the parking ticket, the charges of resisting arrest and obstructing an officer will likely be investigated by the Wayne County Prosecutor's Office, Detroit Police Department spokesperson Sgt. Nicole Kirkwood told thethat Detriot PD did nothing wrong in detaining and arresting McFly.
