“After receiving notice of the Parole Board’s decision to release Mr. Jackson-Bolanos from prison on parole, the People sought to appeal and stay that decision with the Wayne County Third Circuit Court. After that application was filed, the Parole Board delayed his release for 28 days pending a decision on the People’s application. Unfortunately, the Circuit Court did not reach a decision on either the application or motion to stay within that initial 28 days. Upon learning that no decision had yet been made, the Parole Board decided to delay the release another 28 days, until August 26, 2026. The People disagree with the Parole Board’s decision to release Mr. Jackson-Bolanos from prison and have challenged that decision through the appropriate means of seeking leave to appeal from the Circuit Court and not in the press.
“On July 24, 2026, charges were issued against Michael Jackson-Bolanos for two counts of Resisting and Obstructing a Police Officer and one count of Alcohol – Open Container in a Vehicle for allegations that occurred on July 24, 2020, in the City of Detroit. These charges were issued without the knowledge or approval of Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy. When she became aware of them yesterday, she immediately ordered that the charges be dismissed. That process should be completed today. WCPO will continue to focus on the appeal in this matter,” said Assistant Prosecutor Maria Miller.
