The Michigan Supreme Court, in People v. Feeley, No. 152543, granted mini-oral argument on the application for leave to appeal to consider whether the term “police officer” in MCL 750.81d(7)(b)(i) encompasses reserve police officers.

The Court of Appeals found that the plain language of the statute does not apply to a reserve police officer.
