Macomb County authorities say a corrections deputy has been arraigned on charges related to an incident that occurred at the county jail.

Corrections Deputy Daniel Gallus allegedly assaulted an inmate on Friday, Sept. 5, resulting in the inmate needing a head scan and stitches at a hospital.

Last Thursday, Gallus was arraigned in the 41B District Court in Clinton Township before Magistrate Ryan Zemke.

Gallus was charged with the following:

Obstruction of Justice, a 5-year felony
Aggravated Assault, a 1-year misdemeanor

Zemke set a personal bond of $10,000 for Gallus and scheduled for a probable cause conference before 41B District Court Judge Carrie L. Fuca on Monday, Oct. 20.

In a written statement provided to the prosecutor’s office, Macomb County Sheriff Wickersham stated, “We are aware of the charges filed against one of our Corrections Deputies. The Sheriff’s Office holds all personnel to the highest professional and ethical standards, especially regarding the use of force. While the legal process unfolds, we remain committed to transparency, accountability, and maintaining the public’s trust.”
