Woods police sergeant accused
in Warren incident leaves force

James J. DaDeppo, the Grosse Pointe Woods police sergeant charged with domestic violence last month in Warren, has left the force. Michael Makowski, public-safety director for the Woods, confirmed that DaDeppo opted to retire after 32 years of service. DaDeppo was planning to leave at the end of 2009, and moved his severance date up after the incident in Warren.

In May, DaDeppo was arrested after an argument with his girlfriend at her Warren apartment turned physical, according to police. He was also charged with resisting arrest. The matter is still pending. DaDeppo was placed on paid administrative leave at the time of the incident, and left the force two weeks later, Makowski said.
