Roseville, MI – A Roseville police officer was shot during a standoff Friday on Kathy Avenue, prompting felony charges and a $2 million bond for the suspect.
According to the Macomb County Sheriff’s Office, deputies were requested Jan. 23 to investigate an officer-involved shooting in the 26500 block of Kathy Avenue in Roseville.
Authorities said officers had responded to the residence three times that day for a domestic disturbance involving 30-year-old Daniel Waldrep, of Roseville. Waldrep, a former Detroit Police Department officer who resigned in January 2023, allegedly barricaded himself inside the home and fired a high-powered rifle at responding officers.
A Roseville police officer was struck in the head and transported to a local hospital. Officials said the officer’s injuries were determined to be non-life-threatening.
Officers returned fire, striking Waldrep. Negotiators later established contact while a drone provided aerial observation. Less-lethal munitions were deployed before Waldrep exited the residence and was taken into custody.
Following the incident, Waldrep was transported to a hospital in critical condition and later released to the Macomb County Jail.
After reviewing the case, the Macomb County Sheriff’s Office said investigators found no evidence supporting criminal charges against the involved Roseville officers. Officials stated the officers’ use of force was consistent with department training and Michigan law.
Waldrep faces multiple charges, including four counts of assault with intent to murder, six felony firearm counts, weapons and domestic violence offenses, and habitual offender status. He was arraigned Jan. 28 in 39th District Court. Bond was set at $2 million.
The case remains active in district court proceedings.
