Teenager's arrest rattles Lansing
Erica Grey and the Lansing Police Department might have different interpretations of the word “help.”
Grey’s 15-year-old son and his 16-year-old girlfriend had been “on the run,” for weeks, she said. They missed classes at school. Grey hadn’t seen the young couple in several days. She told the boy's older sister to call the cops — if only for their own safety — next time they came back around the house while she was gone.

Video footage showed that Grey’s son was quickly apprehended, but after a brief chase his girlfriend had managed to squirm loose from handcuffs. Officers caught her and dragged her down the street into the back of a cruiser. Then, as she continued to put up a fight, Officer Lindsey Howley cocked back her fist and swung.
All told, the girl was struck at least 14 times — mostly in the legs — in what would later be described by Police Chief Michael Yankowski as “not the conduct of what we want from our Lansing police officers.” Howley walked away with a sprained wrist. The girl was left with some big bruises, according to her mother, Tonia Lilly.
