Detroit Police Commissioner Bryan Ferguson allegedly caught with sex worker

Detroit Police Captain Jason Bates says undercover Wayne County Sheriff’s Office deputies approached the truck parked on a side street near Schaefer and Schoolcraft, when they did, the sex worker jumped out.

DETROIT (FOX 2) - The police commissioner who resigned from his post on the Detroit board after he was caught with a sex worker during a law enforcement operation will be arraigned Monday.

Bryan Ferguson is expected to appear before a judge at 1:30 p.m. in the 36th District Court. 

Ferguson was cited for a lewd act after he was found in a state of undress in his vehicle by patrolling Wayne County Sheriff's deputies. He was given a ticket for indecent and obscene conduct for being caught in the middle of a sex act police said.

Ferguson stepped down from the Board of Police Commissioners days later, saying it was in the best interest of his family and the 11-member body. He represented the first district.

He originally called the incident a misunderstanding.
