Detroit Strip Clubs: Cox defends handling of probe into Manoogian

October 23, 2009 at 11:12 pm | In Detroit strip clubs | No Comments

Coxs name has resurfaced recently because Birmingham attorney Norman Yatooma is deposing three state police investigators who claimed in 2004 that the attorney general impeded their investigation into rumors of a wild party at the Manoogian Mansion that ended in the assault of a stripper.
Yatooma is representing Greenes family in a lawsuit against former Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick and city officials, claiming they conspired to derail an investigation into Greenes 2003 drive-by killing. Detroit Police Chief Warren Evans recently turned the investigation into Greenes murder over to the multi-jurisdictional Violent Crimes Task Force.
Cox said he closed the investigation into the party rumors and allegations of wrongdoing by Kilpatricks bodyguards after 130 witnesses had been interviewed and 90 subpoenas had been served. He said the state police interviewed 55 additional witnesses before their investigation ended.
One version of the never-proven party rumor was that the mayors wife Carlita Kilpatrick happened upon the party and assaulted a stripper with a baseball bat.
