Report: Police drop case against driver in viral video

Detroit Free Press staff

Allen Park police have reportedly dropped charges against the driver that a viral video apparently showed should not have been stopped.

The video, posted on the website Jalopnik, was shared by a man who asked not to be identified but who goes by the name Mr. Sarge. He spotted a Dodge Challenger speeding past him on the right on I-94 in Allen Park on Friday afternoon and a few moments later saw what appears to be a different Challenger stopped by police.

Patrick George of Jalopnik writes ...

The police made an arrest, but the car they nabbed wasn't the car that passed him. Do police in Allen Park, Michigan have the wrong man? ... The Challenger in the video was apparently a Scat Pack with dark wheels and the newer style taillights — the one that got pulled over was an R/T with silver stripes, chrome wheels, a silver gas cap and the older style taillights.

In a follow-up story, George notes that "the wrongfully-arrested driver has been released and the charges have been dropped."
