NEW BALTIMORE, Mich. (CBS DETROIT) - A man is behind bars at the Macomb County jail following an alleged fight with police officers in New Baltimore.
Officials at the New Baltimore Police Department said officers were called out to a business downtown on Main Street near Washington shortly after 11 p.m. Friday to stop an assault.
