Search Warrant Served on the Home of Motown Reporter

Police have searched the home of WDIV (Detroit) Investigative Reporter Hank Winchester.

Crosstown rival WJBK reports that the search was conducted after accusations against Winchester were made alleging sexual advances he made to a man during a massage. 

The search warrant, approved by a judge, came after a man reported to police that Winchester allegedly made unwanted sexual advances.

Electronics were seized from the house.

The Graham station released this statement about their employee:

“We here at Local 4 have been made aware of an external investigation regarding Hank Winchester.

As of this time, he has been placed on administrative leave.

While the investigation is ongoing — we won’t make any further comments.”

The staff was informed of the investigation by WDIV GM Bon Ellis, they have been told not to comment.

Winchester's attorney, Todd Flood, also released a statement regarding the investigation:

"Hank has spent decades bringing truth to our community and fighting for our citizens. Because he holds a high-profile position in our community, that can at times generate false accusations. This investigation will end where it began - nowhere."
