Former Michigan State Trooper Pleads No Contest To Aggravated Assault

Monday, in the 10th Circuit Court in Saginaw, former Michigan State Police (MSP) Trooper Bram Schroeder, 28, of Freeland, pled No Contest to one count each of Aggravated Assault and Neglect of Duty for use of excessive force during a traffic stop.

Schroeder used excessive force to make an arrest while on patrol in Saginaw in March of 2022, after stopping a Saginaw man for failure to signal and speeding.

The driver appeared intoxicated to Schroeder and was uncooperative with his attempted arrest on suspicion of drunk driving.

Schroeder will be sentenced on March 5.
