Half Detective, Half Machine

Posted: Updated:

In 2003, a Northern Michigan detective lost his left leg from the knee down.

He didn't let that slow him down then and now he has something that may be better than the real thing.

Detective Mike Coon is the proud new owner of an iWalk.

It's the latest advancement in prosthetic leg technology, creating a life-like feel through bionics.

Coon is a detective with the Clare County Sheriff's Department in Harrison.

9&10's Eric Lloyd sat down with Clare County's Bionic Man and has more details.
