Were you four Coleman?

I was somewhat ambivalent because there were so many rumors about Coleman,

like what?

In terms of what he was doing, or his family was doing.

In the mid-70s, Ike McKinnon was an internal affairs sergeant in the Detroit Police Department.

One day, an old colleague came to him with some information about the mayor, Coleman Young.

And he sent an informant of his, purchased some drugs in Coleman Young's Bar.

And I went, oh God, God.

Coleman owned a bar.

It was called Coleman Young's Bar.

They sold beer and barbecue and stuff like that.

And someone in the bar, and maybe it was his brother-in-law, Willie Voulson,

had sold drugs to this informant.

When I got that information, I turned it over to my boss.

And at that point, my supervisor said to me, I want you to handle this investigation.

And I said, hey, sir, I'm a little sergeant, you know?

And just you, you'll be the person who works on this case.

I'm scared to hell out of me.

Ike got to work.

He surveilled the bar.

He surveilled Willie Voulson, the mayor's brother-in-law.
