Wilcox was a Detroit Police officer at the Metro South precinct.
When Charlie Lippencott presented ISO Flow – a crowd control substance that made surfaces slippery – to the officers, Wilcox made joking remarks about the product.[1]
Wilcox and several other officers later defended a No Gain truck from addicted citizens and used ISO Flow to stop them. However, the anti-slip boot covers that were given to the officers were ineffective, causing them to slip as well.[1]
