Jackson Michigan - On September 19, 2024, Deputy
Robert Henderson arrived at a home in Leoni Township to
arrest 41-year-old James Mitchell Kerr, on a felony warrant for violating probation and two misdemeanor warrants.Kerr was on a riding lawnmower when Deputy Henderson
started speaking with him. Kerr ignored Deputy Robert
Henderson's commands to stop, accelerating his mower
before coming to a ditch. The situation escalated when
Kerr retrieved a handgun hidden on the mower, prompting
the deputy to deploy a Taser.
As Kerr was tased, he discharged his weapon, shooting himself in the hand. Backup officers arrived shortly after, taking Kerr into custody and transporting him to the
hospital for treatment before his transfer to jail. Kerr now faces multiple charges, including assault with intent to murder and resisting arrest, with his case advancing to trial in Jackson County Circuit Court. The Michigan State Police conducted an independent investigation, which cleared Deputy Henderson of any policy violations.
