'We're not stupid': Video shows cops scolding UM's Zavier Simpson for providing fake name

Ann Arbor — Michigan senior guard Zavier Simpson was told he could be arrested for lying to police when he was questioned during an early morning car incident last month.

Simpson wrecked a 2011 Toyota RAV4 that belonged to Chrislan Manuel, the wife of Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel, while driving in downtown Ann Arbor around 3 a.m. on Jan. 26.

Police dash- and body-camera footage obtained by The Detroit News through a Freedom of Information Act request show Simpson providing a false name, changing his story and eventually admitting the SUV was loaned out to student-athletes by basketball student manager Evan Manuel, the AD's son.
