flag Former Detroit cop Benjamin Wagner arrested in NC on 14 felony charges for 5 alleged 1999–2003 sexual assaults linked to old DNA evidence.

flag Benjamin Wagner, a 68-year-old former Detroit police sergeant, was arrested at Pitt-Greenville Airport in North Carolina on March 19, 2026, and is facing 14 felony charges in Michigan for allegedly committing five sexual assaults between 1999 and 2003. flag Prosecutors say he targeted young women and girls, ages 15 to 23, in Northwest Detroit, using a gun to abduct and assault them in secluded areas. flag The case was reopened after DNA from long-untested sexual assault kits—part of a 2009 discovery of over 11,000 untested kits—linked Wagner to the crimes. flag He has agreed to return to Michigan to face charges, including kidnapping and criminal sexual conduct, and authorities confirmed he has no known ties to local crimes in Greenville.
