Judge Sandra Cicirelli of the 18th
District Court in Westland has
ordered a competency examination
for the man charged with holding a
Westland City Hall employee
hostage and threatening to detonate
a bomb in the building.
At the preliminary court exami-
nation for Sean William Quigley, 37,
scheduled for May 23, Cicirelli
granted the request of Quigley's
attorney William Winters who told
the court he was unsure of Quigley's
ability to assist with his own
defense. Quigley was described as a
homeless person but had been stay-
ing in the Westland area. He has
been held, without bond, in the
Westland police lockup since the
May 13 incident.
At about noon that day, police
allege Quigley went to Westland City
Hall asking to see Mayor William
Wild. Wild, and many other city offi-
cials were not in the building as they
were attending the funeral of Brian
Woehlke, a firefighter who died in
the line of dutyMay 8.
Police said that Quigley told them
he thought an acquaintance was in
danger and he wantedWild's help in
the situation. When told Wild was
not available, he took a city employ-
ee hostage and threatened to blow
up the building with 6 pounds of
explosives he claimed to have.
Witnesses said he did appear to
have an item that looked like some
kind of detonator, but no explosives
or detonation device was found
when he was arrested following the
incident.
The employee he was holding
managed to escape out a back door
and the 25 people in City Hall were
safely evacuated while police nego-
tiators talked with Quigley. Ford
Road and other side streets were
blocked to traffic for hours while the
incident was ongoing and during the
subsequent investigation. The
MichiganStatePolice, a bomb squad
and the FBI responded along with
Westlandpolice.
Quigley was arrested at the scene
and taken into custody.
He is charged with terrorism and
kidnapping, felonies which carry a
sentence of up to life in prison, mak-
ing a false report or threat of terror-
ism and making a false report or
threat of a bomb/harmful device,
both of which are four year felonies.
A not guilty plea was entered for
Quigley who will now undergo the
competency hearing. Cicirelli
rescheduled the preliminary hear-
ing for Aug. 8, subject to the compe-
tency examination being completed
by that date.
Members of the Wayne City
Council adopted a balanced $16.8
million budget by a 5-2 vote last
week.
Councilmen William Hawley
and John Rhaesa cast the no votes
on the budget, which contains cuts
to nearly every department and
city operation due to what officials
have said is declining tax revenue
in the city.
Officials said revenue in the city
has declined from $22.8 million to
$16.8 million during the past six
years. The reduction is due prima-
rily to the drop in property values
which are predicted to drop anoth-
er 5 percent this year. Officials said
that a 1-mill levy previously gener-
ated about $630,000 in property tax
revenue. That amount had
decreased to $380,000 last year.
Mayor Al Haidous was critical of
some of the conditions in the budg-
et, but did cast a vote in favor of the
motion to accept it. He said that the
budget was open to too many
amendments and too much
depended on unknown factors
such as state shared revenue and
any other revenue enhancements.
“My plan is to save city services
and move the city forward. We
won't turn off the lights,” Haidous
said.
