I was home from college visiting a friend who lived near 13 Mile and Lahser. We decided to go cruise Woodward, having no idea this was going on. On our trip down 13 Mile, we got stopped at Greenfield and almost arrested since the police didn't believe we weren't intending to add to the mayhem. We finally convinced them we didn't know anything about the riot and they let us u-turn and go back home. I didn't learn the details about it until I read the paper the next day.
