“Threatening the life of a police officer is a threat against our entire community. We take these threats very seriously,” said Detroit police Chief James Craig. “I’ve made a commitment to the men and women of the Detroit Police Department; I will not ignore those who threaten their safety. I refuse to let threats against officers go without a response.”
Littleton allegedly posted numerous direct threats to law enforcement officers on social media. The post was reported to the Dearborn Police Department.

Dearborn police issued a Law Enforcement Information Network message to all area law enforcement agencies about the threat.
