A husband, wife, and their 12-year-old daughter were arrested at Corewell Health Taylor Hospital after police said they initiated fights in the lobby.
The incident occurred at about 3 p.m. on Aug. 10. Detective Lt. Frank Canning said the confrontations began when a loved one of the family was petitioned for a mental health evaluation.
It made the family members angry and combative as they objected, police said.
As the situation grew out of hand the police were called.
“It was full fisticuffs,” Canning said. “They were all one team.”
The lieutenant said security guards were involved, and there might have been some office staff members and a nurse, too.
Canning said the juvenile was so worked up she squared up against a police officer.
“She wanted to fist fight with officers,” Canning
