DETROIT, Mich. (CBS DETROIT) – Detroit police officers have been pulled from the DEA task force according to Chief James Craig following a killing spree from federal informant Kenyel Brown.

Craig said he felt there was a “breach of trust” after a meeting Monday at Public Safety Headquarters with Special Agent Keith Martin, who’s in charge of the agency’s operations in Michigan and Ohio. He said the decision was made due to lack of communication and failed leadership during a news conference Tuesday.
