Officer Gary Steele [Detroit PD], was charged with: TORTURE; ASSAULT W/ INTENT TO COMMIT MURDER; ASSAULT W/INTENT TO DO GREAT BODILY HARM LESS THAN MURDER; 2 COUNTS: FELONIOUS ASSAULT W/A DANGEROUS WEAPON; WEAPONS/ FIREARM, DISCHARGE IN OR AT A BUILDING; FELONY FIREARM, in connection to a domestic violence assault he committed against his ex-girlfriend. He was facing up to life in prison. Steele was considered to be so dangerous, that bond was set at $5,000,000.

THE POLICE REPORT OF OFFICER STEELE'S VIOLENT DOMESTIC VIOLENCE ATTACK:
"...Officer Steele re-entered the garage using the keypad, grabbed the bat, and hit the Complainant on her right thigh bringing her to her knees.

Officer Steele then picked up the Complainant by her throat, dragged her toward the interior door, and smashed her head through the garage wall. He then choked her and pushed her through the door onto her back.

Officer Steele then got on top of her, held her by her throat, and repeatedly pushed her head into the floor.

Officer Steele drew his revolver and fired three shots into the floor next to the Complainant’s head. He placed the gun to her head and stated, “I will kill you. Do you hear me Kim? I will kill you.”

Officer Steele then told the Complainant to open her mouth so that he could blow her “fucking brains out.” Officer Steele threw his gun across the room and gave her $200.00 for a new cell phone. Officer Steele then got off of her, retrieved his gun, and left the scene."


OFFICER STEELE'S SENTENCE:

Compared to Terrence Kiernan, Officer Steele was allowed to plead no contest to misdemeanor reckless discharge of a firearm. He was not sentenced to jail or prison. He served a one year probation term [6/23/2009 - 6/23/2010] and later returned to duty as a police officer with the Detroit City Police Department.
