Detroit police chief says he would not stop at gas stations at night in the city
James Craig, identified as a police chief in the US city of Detroit, was quoted by local television channel 4 as saying that fuel stations in the city are not safe at night, Local 4 reported.
“I wouldn’t stop but if I had to I would probably be very aware of my surroundings,” Craig said in comments that according to the media have started a debate in the city which also follows recent deadly crime occurred in a gas station at night.
“Sources tell Local 4 the chief is irritated and that he meant to say he would think twice about stopping at any gas station, anywhere, late at night," according to the report.
Detroit, formerly better known as ‘motor city’ because of its once very high concentration of auto manufacturers, has been plagued by crime and unemployment as many auto-making facilities formerly located there have been moved elsewhere, including abroad.
