Delta flight coming into Metro Airport aborts attempt to land at last minute

A Delta Air Lines landing at Wayne County Detroit Metropolitan Airport was more problematic than anticipated after the pilot was forced to abort an attempt to land.

The plane did have a safe landing on the second attempt.

According to a statement from the airline, Delta flight 1648 arrived at Metro Airport Thursday evening from Denver.

A spokeswoman did not include the number of passengers on the flight in the statement.

The statement said the pilot was instructed by air traffic control to execute a “go-around procedure.”

It did not, however, explain what a go-around procedure is and why it was necessary.

A request for a more detailed explanation for the abrupt procedure was made, but one has not yet been provided.

It appears the plane looped around, made another approach and was able to land without interference.

‘Fake sheriff’ demands thousands from Downriver veterinarian

Police were called after someone at a Wayne County business was contacted by a man impersonating Wayne County Sheriff Raphael Washington in an attempt to get money from him.

The incident occurred at about 12:30 p.m. on Feb. 12 and was reported by a doctor at the Woodhaven Animal Hospital.

According to police, the conversation was recorded and officers have a telephone number associated with the call.

It is being investigated.

The doctor told officers that the first call came through on the hospital’s business line at about 11:47 a.m. that day.

Records show that the caller identified himself as Raphael Washington and said he needed to speak with the veterinarian, mentioning him by name, regarding an urgent matter.

They did not connect at that time.

The veterinarian received a second call on his personal cellphone.

When he answered the call, the caller again identified himself as Raphael Washington and informed the doctor that he missed jury duty and has a warrant for contempt of court.

The veterinarian informed the man he never received a jury summons and the caller said a jury summons was sent to an address in Hazel Park, however, the doctor said he never lived in Hazel Park.

The caller told the veterinarian that he needed to get in his car and drive to the sheriff’s office immediately or deputies would be sent to his place of employment.

He also told the veterinarianwhen he arrives he is not to get out of his vehicle until a $5,000 contempt of court warrant is paid.

Police said a background check through the law enforcement information network showed that the veterinarian does not have any outstanding warrants.

The detective bureau is investigating the case.
