Bailiff Fatally Shoots Man Armed with Box Cutter During Detroit Eviction Standoff
On July 12, 2024, at approximately 10:53 a.m., Detroit Police Department (DPD) officers responded to an eviction assistance request at an apartment on Manderson Road near Palmer Park in Detroit. The 36th District Court bailiff reported that the occupant, 44-year-old Sherman Butler, was uncooperative and armed with a box cutter.
Upon entry, officers observed Butler seated on a bed, holding a box cutter to his neck and expressing suicidal intentions. Despite multiple commands to disarm, Butler remained agitated and refused to comply. Officers deployed Tasers, which proved ineffective. Butler then advanced toward the bailiff with the box cutter, prompting the bailiff to discharge his firearm, fatally wounding Butler. Officers administered immediate medical aid, and Butler was transported to a local hospital, where he was pronounced deceased.
The Wayne County Prosecutor's Office reviewed the incident and, on December 3, 2024, concluded that the bailiff acted in lawful self-defense and in defense of others. Consequently, no charges were filed against the bailiff.
The incident has sparked community protests, with demonstrators calling for increased transparency and the release of body camera footage. The DPD has stated that the involved officers were equipped with body-worn cameras during the encounter.
This case underscores the complexities and dangers associated with law enforcement's role in eviction proceedings, particularly when mental health crises are involved. It also highlights the legal standards governing the use of deadly force in Michigan, which permits such force when an individual reasonably believes it is necessary to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm.
