Redford Man Charged in Assault and Barricaded Gunman Incident
Prosecutor Kym Worthy has charged Vincent James Jensen, 55, of Redford, in connection with the assault of a 25-year-old man, also of Redford.
On July 18, 2024, in the early morning hours Redford police officers were dispatched to a residence in the 18700 block of Seminole in for a reported assault. Upon their arrival, officers observed Defendant Jensen fleeing the scene.
It is alleged that Defendant Jensen punched the victim in the chest and pointed a shotgun in the victim's face, before fleeing the scene. It is further alleged that Defendant Jensen returned to the residence, before barricading himself inside.
Vincent James Jensen has been charged with Assault with Intent to Rob While Armed, Extortion, Fleeing and Eluding Third Degree and five counts of Felony Firearm.*
"The alleged facts in this case are extremely troubling and show strong disregard of the safety of a community. A man who assaulted a man, drove at excessive speeds through a residential neighborhood to evade the police, and barricaded himself with threats to kill. A trifecta of criminal behavior," said Prosecutor Kym Worthy.
He was arraigned and remanded to jail today in 17th District Court. The Probable Cause Conference is scheduled for July 30, 2024, at 8:45 a.m., before Judge Karen Khalil. Please request a photograph of the defendant from the Redford Police Department.
*The charges are allegations and defendants are presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
