Roll out the felony?

A cable TV producer in suburban Detroit has been charged with using publicly owned equipment to make polka DVDs and sell them to an undercover officer.

Police say Fred DeChausse was caught selling 11 DVDs for $150. He’s the producer of Polka Party on Warren’s public cable channel. A court hearing Monday was postponed.

Defence lawyer Leon Weiss says the case is “unfortunate and ridiculous.” He says DeChausse is innocent.

Felony and misdemeanor charges were filed earlier this month against the 71-year-old DeChausse. He’s been suspended without pay. Warren police say the investigation isn’t over.
