Defiant Female Faces Charges for Continuing to Operate Unsanctioned Food Establishment in Southwest Detroit, as Stated by Authorities
In a recent incident in Southwest Detroit, a woman was charged with resisting and obstructing, a felony, after she refused to comply with requests to shut down her illegal street vending operations.
According to reports, the incident occurred on September 14, when police responded to a report of a large crowd in the 2100 block of Springwells. Upon arrival, it was discovered that the woman was selling food without the necessary permits, making her operations illegal in the city of Detroit.
DeJanay Booth-Singleton, a digital producer at CBS Detroit, reported that the woman's illegal vending was part of a larger gathering or block party, which were not permitted. The officer at the scene was there to inquire about the woman's permits, not to cause harm.
Body cam footage shows the officer repeatedly asking the woman for a permit, to which she did not provide one. The woman initially claimed to have a permit but later said she would contact her lawyer.
The woman's refusal to shut down her operations led to her detainment, while three other people working with her were issued citations. If the woman had provided identification or a permit, she would likely have been able to shut down her operations without further action.
Street vendors in Detroit are required to have both the State of Michigan Food Service License and a city of Detroit Business License. The incident involving the woman's illegal street vending would have resulted in just a ticket, according to the city.
DeJanay Booth-Singleton, who covers topics such as crime, business, and politics, reported that the woman is a digital producer at a Detroit news outlet, covering topics such as crime, business, and politics.
It is important to note that obtaining the necessary permits is crucial for the safety and legality of street vending operations in the city. The city encourages all vendors to ensure they have the proper permits to avoid any legal complications.
