DEARBORN - Houssein Zorkot, a 26-year-old Dearborn resident, was arraigned Tuesday in 19th District Court on multiple felony charges, including carrying a dangerous weapon with unlawful intent — a five-year felony.

Zorkot, a third-year medical student at Wayne State University, was allegedly armed with an AK-47 assault rifle and dressed in black clothing with camouflage paint covering his face when he was arrested Saturday in Hemlock Park.

According to police, Zorkot was observed attempting to leave the park in a black SUV after officers had received reports of a man carrying a rifle in the area. He was placed under arrest and is scheduled to undergo a preliminary examination at 9 a.m. Sept. 21 in 19th District Court.

That's right in the area where I lived, pre-Andrew .. Naranja Lakes. It's probably a reconstructed area.

Per the news update, the number of law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty is the highest in 30 years.

I'm still trying to figure out, why they were tracking this guy .. and did it start at a private home or an apartment complex?

How did "a chubby white man with long black hair" become... this guy?

Never a dull moment... when Horatio Cane is on the job, eh?

Your humor... and your shiny metal ass is getting old, Bender.

Well... did you catch the guy, whatever his color?

Beats me... the director called "Cut!" and they are setting up for the next scene.
