Former Detroit city councilwoman Monica Conyeys says she cut her finger on a chair on January 1 at the restaurant inside Detroit Metropolitan Airport before catching a flight to Washington D.C. She was en route to attend the swearing-in ceremony of her husband, U.S. Rep. John Conyers, D-Detroit according to her attorney Amir Makled of Dearborn.
“Plaintiff sat down to eat at a table inside McDonald’s, and grabbed the side of the chair to adjust her seat and pull her chair under the table,” according to a suit filed Thursday in Third Circuit Court. “While pulling herself under the table, Plaintiff felt a sharp pain in the ring finger of her right hand, screamed in pain and jumped out of the seat.”
