Police: Body cam review led to charges against two officers
DETROIT (AP) — A random review of body camera footage has led to home invasion and other criminal charges against two Detroit police officers accused of entering a house without a search warrant and arresting a man.
Assistant Chief James White told reporters the investigation stemmed from a police department policy requiring supervisors to conduct the reviews.
Officer Bradley Clark and Sgt. Paul Glaza have been arraigned and are suspended with pay.
A Detroit man has said two officers came to the west side home on Jan. 22 looking for another man who wasn't there.
The man said the door was kicked in and he was arrested after he told the officers they had no right to be there without a search warrant.

Toddler shreds more than $1,000 in cash
HOLLADAY, Utah (AP) — A toddler in Utah was a little too helpful when he shredded more than $1,000 that his parents were saving.
Ben and Jackee Belnap were saving the cash to reimburse Ben's parents for University of Utah season football tickets. They had $1,060 in an envelope, which disappeared over the weekend.
Ben tells KSL-TV the couple started searching the house when Jackee hollered, "I found it." She was holding the shredder.
Their 2-year-old son, Leo, helps his mom shred junk mail or important documents that they want to get rid of. He apparently got his hands on the envelope.
Ben contacted the Treasury Department and he said he was told to ship the shredded cash for possible replacement.
Jackee says it will make "a great wedding story one day."
