AAPD Case 17-3517: Arrest-Warrant Requests for Drs. Bradley Foerster and Myria Petrou (July 20, 2017) — Prosecutor Denies Both (February 7, 2018)
On July 20, 2017, Ann Arbor Police Department Detective Bradley Rougeau submitted separate arrest-warrant requests for Dr. Bradley Foerster and Dr. Myria Petrou in AAPD Case 17-3517, seeking felony charges of embezzlement over $100,000.
The requests followed months of investigation into financial allegations made by Maria and Petros Petrou concerning their daughter, Dr. Myria Petrou, and son-in-law, Dr. Bradley Foerster. By then, AAPD had obtained search warrants for financial records from several banking institutions, including Bank of Ann Arbor.
No witness statements were associated with either arrest-warrant request.
On February 7, 2018, the Washtenaw County Prosecutor's Office denied both requests. The records identify the reviewing prosecutor as “CHILDERSA.” No arrest warrants were issued.
The arrest-warrant request records were not provided to Dr. Foerster and Dr. Petrou at the time. They were obtained years later through FOIA requests and appeals, following earlier denials of access to the materials.
