AAPD Case 17-3517: Court Orders Eviction of Drs. Bradley Foerster and Myria Petrou from 630 Geddes Ridge After Year-Long Bank-Account Freezes (April 23, 2018)

On April 23, 2018, the 15th Judicial District Court issued an Order of Eviction concerning Dr. Bradley Foerster and Dr. Myria Petrou's property at 630 Geddes Ridge in Ann Arbor, Michigan, directing that possession be restored to the Bank of Ann Arbor.

The order followed approximately one year during which Dr. Foerster's and Dr. Petrou's bank accounts, including their accounts at the Bank of Ann Arbor, had been frozen pursuant to search warrants obtained during Ann Arbor Police Department (AAPD) Case 17-3517.

On February 7, 2018, the Washtenaw County Prosecuting Attorney's Office declined to authorize embezzlement charges against Dr. Foerster and Dr. Petrou, citing a “Lack of crime elements” and concluding that the matter was “clearly civil” and did not rise to criminal culpability.

The property proceedings continued. A March 6, 2018 judgment awarded possession of 630 Geddes Ridge to the Bank of Ann Arbor. The subsequent eviction application stated that Dr. Foerster and Dr. Petrou had not purchased the property by the April 16, 2018 deadline. On April 23, the court issued the eviction order.

The Bank of Ann Arbor subsequently sold 630 and 620 Geddes Ridge to University of Michigan faculty members Justin Wolfers and Betsey Stevenson on November 1, 2018, for $1.8 million.
