Ex-Officer Charged In Deadly Macomb County Crash: Police

ROSEVILLE, MI — A former Detroit Police officer has been charged in connection with a crash that killed a motorcyclist last summer, according to the Macomb County Prosecutor's Office.

Corey Siquan Jones, 28, was charged with a moving violation causing death, which is a one-year misdemeanor. He was placed in jail and given a $5,000 bond. His next court date is scheduled for March 5.

Prosecutors said Jones drove through a red light in Roseville and was hit by Evan Newman, 27, who had been lawfully traveling through a green light on a motorcycle.

Newman was killed in the crash, according to prosecutors.

"Police officers are sworn to uphold the law, but they are also bound by it," said Macomb County Prosecutor Peter J. Lucido. "No one is above the law, and our justice system must apply equally to all."
