Wayne County reserve cop did jail time, has sex offenderhistory
A high-profile leader of the Wayne County Sheriff’s reserve unit had a secret past: He once served jail time for sexual assault and for years had been listed on Michigan’s sex offender registry, a Free Press investigation has found.
As a deputy chief of a civilian volunteer force, Mark Zarkin carried a gun, wore a badge and donned a police uniform. Zarkin resigned Feb. 4, hours after being interviewed as part of the newspaper's investigation. Zarkin’s position highlights the stunning lack of oversight of police reserves in Michigan and across the country.
