In August 2016, Officer Paul Funk was involved in an incident where his police vehicle made contact with a wheelchair occupied by Paul Palmer. An internal investigation concluded that Funk violated multiple department policies, including truthfulness and conformance to laws. He was charged with violating the Michigan Motor Vehicle Code and was convicted by a jury. These disciplinary actions led to his resignation from the department.([caselaw.findlaw.com](https://caselaw.findlaw.com/court/us-6th-circuit/2079788.html?utm_source=openai))
