OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
An alarm went off at Tractor Supply and police arrived and chased 2 teenagers who had been on the roof of the building. Police arrived and two frightened teenagers ran. One was arrested and Joe Paduchowski fled while a K9 was released and somehow landed in a pond and drowned while fleeing from police and their dog. Paduchowski’s father commented on Channel 4 WDIV Detroit’s website that “Our son was a great kid. This was nothing more than a childish prank by two kids that should have never been out on the streets at this time. This is proof positive that you should never take anyone or anything for granted”.
