Troubled Teen In Jail

A Kalamazoo teen at the center of a controversial civil suit is in the Kent County Jail. This week, the City of Kalamazoo paid 175-thousand dollars to a trust for 17-year old Michael Goldman. A multi-million dollar excessive force and racial profiling suit was filed after Goldman was injured by a public safety officer last year. Goldman had some 20 arrests on his record…some for serious charges, but he had never been convicted because he was a juvenile and was ruled incompetent. Now he’ll be charged as an adult after a reported felonious assault at a youth treatment facility in Kentwood. Goldman is also being investigated in a sexual assault.
