Attorney General Nessel Supports Legislative Package to Strengthen Penalties for Disarming Police Officers

*LANSING* – Today, the Michigan House Judiciary Committee heard testimony on House Bills 5079 [ [link removed] ] and 5080 [ [link removed] ], sponsored by state Representative Mike Mueller. The legislation would increase penalties for disarming a law enforcement officer of a firearm if accomplished by force or if the officer is injured. Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel issued the following statement in support of the legislation: 

“The brave men and women of law enforcement put their lives on the line each day to protect us. When someone tries to disarm an officer, it endangers that individual and the safety of everyone they’ve sworn an oath to defend. This legislation strengthens our ability to hold violent offenders fully accountable, and I urge the House to pass this legislative package swiftly.”
