allard@candgnews.com

EASTPOINTE — Residents, local dignitaries and business owners gathered March 2 at the Lutheran Fraternities of America No. 57 for Eastpointe’s annual State of the City address.

The luncheon gave Mayor Monique Owens the opportunity to provide highlights of the city’s progress over the past year. Eastpointe Community Schools Superintendent Christina Gibson and 38th District Court Judge Kathleen Galen also gave presentations. The Eastpointe-Roseville Chamber of

Commerce organized the event. The cost to attend was $25 per chamber member and $30 per nonmember.

City of Eastpointe

Owens focused on three areas: community development, infrastructure investments and financial outlook.

Property for a new police and district court building was purchased next to the current building. According to Owens’ speech, the new building will provide enough space for the current operations of the court and Police Department. “The design phase is next,” she said. See CITY on page 12A

County begins project in Eastpointe to reduce combined sewer overflows BY BRIAN WELLS bwells@candgnews.com

EASTPOINTE — Macomb County Public Works has begun an underground infrastructure project in Eastpointe aimed at reducing combined sewer overflows into Lake St. Clair. Excavation on what the department is calling an “in-system storage” project is underway on Beaconsfield Avenue, south of Nine Mile Road in Eastpointe. Workers are digging to reach a sewer pipe set about 50 feet below ground, according to a press release. A section of the pipe, which is 11.5 feet in diameter, will be cut away to allow for the installation of a rubber weir, which can be inflated during a heavy rain event and then released so the flow can be sent to the Great Lakes Water Authority’s Detroit wastewater plant for proper treatment, rather than being discharged into Lake St. Clair, the press release states. “Macomb County is very focused on protecting our Great Lakes water quality,” Public Works Commissioner Candice Miller stated in the re-

EASTPOINTE — Following a seven-day jury trial, a Detroit man was found guilty of first-degree murder in the 2021 killing of an Eastpointe man. Danny Darnell White, now 33, went to the vic-

tim’s home on Tuesday, Sept. 28, 2021, to settle a drug debt, according to the Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office. Armed with a handgun, White reportedly shot the victim — Titus Houston, 38 — eight times, in the basement of his Eastpointe home. Houston was found by his ex-girlfriend, who arrived at the home near Stephens Road and Interstate

94 with his children and a cake to celebrate his birthday. They discovered the body at about 1:20 p.m. Sept. 29, 2021. White was arrested Sept. 30 of that year at a home in Detroit. He was charged with first-degree murder, a life felony; two counts of felony firearm, a two-year See CONVICTION on page 14A

Alleged ‘peeping Tom’ arrested by Warren police BY GENA JOHNSON AND BRIAN WELLS gjohnson@candgnews.com bwells@candgnews.com

WARREN — The Warren Police Department has put a stop to an alleged serial “peeping Tom” who has been linked to incidents throughout metro Detroit including Warren, Eastpointe and Oak Park. Marquis Fleming, 41, of Detroit, was arraigned in 38th District Court in Eastpointe on Feb. 21. He was charged with three counts of window peeping, which is a 90-day misdemeanor. Magistrate Mark Makoski set bond at $25,000 cash or surety for each count. If released on bond, Fleming is to wear a tether. The arraignment on charges in Eastpointe follows Fleming’s arrest in Warren on Feb. 16. According to the Warren Police Department, they received two reports of a “peeping Tom” where an unknown male in the late evening or early morning hours was allegedly seen carrying a ladder in neighborhoods near Toepfer Road and MacArthur Drive, and

Toepfer and Schoenherr Road, peering in the windows of residents. According to police, one caller noted the screen from a window had been removed and the suspect was attempting to look into her daughter’s bedroom. Another caller caught the suspect on video from his security camera. “Whenever we receive reports such as these, I imFleming mediately assign investigators and Special Operations Unit members to the case. We know the importance of quickly identifying and arresting the suspect before he escalates his behavior into more violent crime,” said Warren Police Commissioner Bill Dwyer. “Patrol officers, detectives and SOU members made locating this suspect a top priority, knowing that peeping Tom suspects often escalate their behaviors into home invasions and sexual assaults.” According to police, Warren investigators immediately contacted surrounding jurisdictions with possible suspect information and learned that the Eastpointe Police De-

partment had six similar incidents with the same alleged suspect peering into windows while carrying a ladder. “SOU members of the Warren Police (Department) were able to positively identify the suspect involved in the Warren and Eastpointe incidents after conducting surveillance on the suspect which led them to the city of Oak Park where they watched as the suspect walked several times to and from the backyard of an occupied house, stood by a window, peered inside the residence and hid behind a bush,” police stated in a press release. “The suspect then fled the scene in a vehicle and was taken into custody without incident in the late evening of Feb. 16.” “Thankfully, this suspect is off the streets and will no longer be frightening residents in the tricounty area,” said Dwyer. Macomb County Prosecuting Attorney Peter Lucido went on to thank both the Eastpointe and Warren police departments for working together to apprehend Fleming. “It is despicable that someone would prey on young children,” Lucido said in a statement.

A pretrial hearing was scheduled for March 15 in the 38th District Court in Eastpointe. Fleming’s attorney, Bradley Friedman, declined to comment. According to court records, Fleming currently has a hold in the 36th District Court in Detroit for possession of a firearm by a felon, possession of ammunition by a felon and two felony firearms counts. The Michigan Offender Tracking Information System shows that Fleming has served time for other offenses. Most recently, he was released on Aug. 30, 2022, after spending a year in jail for possession of a stun gun. Dawn Fraylick, communications director for the Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office, said Fleming was arraigned on a charge of window peeping March 3 in the 37th District Court in Warren. Bond was set at $25,000 cash or surety. If released on bond, Fleming is to wear a tether. Call Staff Writer Gena Johnson at (586) 498-1069. Call Staff Writer Brian Wells at (248) 291-7637.

Detroit firefighter facing charges in 3 cities for allegedly selling drugs bwells@candgnews.com

METRO DETROIT — A Detroit firefighter is facing charges in multiple Macomb County cities for allegedly selling drugs, according to the Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office. Gerald Trombley, 49, is facing charges in Eastpointe, Roseville and Warren after he met with an undercover Sterling Heights police officer and allegedly sold drugs to the officer in all three cities. In Eastpointe, Trombley was arraigned March 1 in the 38th District Court by Magistrate Mark Makoski. Trombley is facing one charge of delivering schedule two drugs, a seven-year felony. His bond, which according to court records was posted March 1, was set at $50,000 and requires drug testing twice a week. His next appearance in Eastpointe will be at 1 p.m. March 15 for a probable cause conference in front of Judge Kathleen Galen. He is also scheduled for a preliminary exam at 1 p.m. March 22. In the 37th District Court in Warren, in addition to one charge of delivering schedule two drugs, Trombley has been charged with

intent to distribute less than 50 grams of narcotics, a 20-year felony; possession with intent to distribute schedule two drugs, a seven-year felony; and possession of analogues, a two-year felony. He was arraigned Feb. 23 by Judge Michael Chupa, who gave him a $25,000 bond. He was scheduled for a probable cause conference in Warren at 8:45 a.m. March 7, after press time, in front of Chupa. Trombley was also charged with delivering schedule two drugs in Roseville, which has been bound over to the 16th Circuit Court in Mount Clemens, where he will be arraigned at 1:30 p.m. March 20 in front of Judge Matthew Sabaugh. Trombley was given a $10,000 personal bond in this case, plus drug testing. At press time, Trombley’s attorney, Glenn McCandliss, could not be reached for comment. A representative of the Sterling Heights Police Department also could not be reached for comment. According to court records, Trombley is also facing an identity theft charge in Wayne County Circuit Court. The attorney representing him on this charge, Larry Polk, could not be reached for comment.

MACOMB COUNTY — Macomb Community College students considering a career in the health care field will now have the opportunity to participate in an apprenticeship. In addition, Macomb’s Michigan Apprenticeship Program Plus, also known as the MAP+ program, will continue to offer opportunities to interested students. Both programs are made possible through federal funding that the college has received. According to Macomb officials, the health care apprenticeship initiative is being funded by $2.6 million secured by U.S. Sen. Debbie Stabenow, D-Michigan. The health care apprenticeship program is brand-new for the college, and an advisory board helped to get it off the ground. “We ran multiple sessions engaging our community partners,” said Narine Mirijanian, the dean of Health and Public Service at Macomb. “The college is very passionate about fulfilling our mission.” The three-year apprenticeship initia-

lease. “We are spending the dollars needed to upgrade our infrastructure because we recognize it’s an investment in a cleaner environment for ourselves and future generations.” Norb Franz, communications manager for the county’s Public Works Office, said this was the first time a system like this has been used in the county. “I’m told we utilized experience from other entities that have implemented inflatable bladders in sewers,” he said in an email. “We visited Louisville (Kentucky) to talk with them (about) how they are using this similar product and also GLWA has quite a few within their system.” Eastpointe City Manager Mariah Walton said contractors have been working with the city and residents to minimize the construction’s impact. “Beaconsfield is closed at Oak, which does impact residents in that area,” Walton said. “The contractors have been working incredibly well with the city and residents.” Walton said the contractors have prioritized communicating any updates with residents in the area and city officials. Traffic has also been rerouted and signage has been posted for residents and those commuting through the area, she said. The project is expected to cost $12.4 million and will be paid for using federal, state and county funds and will not cause any increase in sewer rates, the press release states. It is expected to be completed by the end of the year. Call Staff Writer Brian Wells at (248) 291-7637.

program is designed to provide students the opportunity to earn money while they are learning in the classroom. An apprenticeship program trains future employees to become skilled in a trade or profession. Apprenticeship training combines classroom learning with hands-on work as students prepare for entry-level, patient-centered or business-oriented health careers. “The health care apprenticeship is a new concept for us. It was a vision the college had along with the community,” Mirijanian said. “We are very aware of what’s happening in the community. After COVID, there are significant deficiencies in the workforce. With the apprenticeships, the students could be earning and learning at the same time.” The initiative involves eight programs ranging from six weeks to one year and at least 2,000 hours of on-the-job instruction. Because of the federal grant, the apprentice will incur no costs for tuition, books, laptops, uniforms and background checks. “We’re very excited,” Mirijanian said. “The grant was very well thought through to successfully really start the program.” According to Macomb officials, some students will achieve their career goals with completion of the entry-level program, while others will use it as a stepping stone to continue their education, enhance skills and advance into higher-level opportunities in health care fields. The health care apprenticeships will offer the following certifications: medical reimbursement specialist; professional coder; nursing assistant; dental assistant; laboratory assistant; medical assistant; pharmacy technician and phlebotomy. A certified professional coder, for example, updates patient records with standardized information needed for data management and billing purposes. Students who enroll in the phlebotomy program learn how to draw blood from patients and prepare the samples for testing.

Classes will be held at South Campus in Warren and at Center Campus in Clinton Township. For more information about health care apprenticeships, email jurya707@macomb.edu. Macomb’s MAP+ program was created in 2016 with funding through the U.S. Department of Labor American Apprenticeship Initiative. From 2016 to 2021, the college registered 375 apprentices representing 41 employers in the region and served 452 pre-apprentices. The MAP+ program continuation is supported by a $610,000 appropriation through U.S. Sen. Gary Peters, D-Michigan. “Ensuring that our community’s residents have access to the training and support to succeed and prosper in the 21st century workforce, and that local employers have the talent necessary to sustain and grow their businesses is an imperative for Macomb Community College,” Macomb Community College President James O. Sawyer IV said in a prepared statement. “We’re deeply appreciative of the advocacy and action of Sens. Stabenow and Peters to secure critical financial resources that further our work in these areas.” The MAP+ program works in collaboration with the Macomb Intermediate School District to welcome students interested in the region’s construction and manufacturing sectors, including automotive, aerospace and defense. In the program, students enroll in shop math, industrial safety, blueprint reading and hands-on training. The MAP+ Industrial Readiness program is provided at no cost to students. “On successful completion of the classes, which are completed in one semester, students earn a certificate with nine credits that can be applied to an associate degree and are connected to employers seeking talent,” the press release states. MAP+ is seeking students for this fall. If interested or for more information about MAP+, email ahearns@macomb.edu. Call Staff Writer Maria Allard at (586) 498-1045.

A zoning ordinance amendment is currently under review with the Planning Commission. A steering committee has been formed to lead efforts to modernize the ordinances to be more business friendly. While at the podium, Owens addressed the partnerships the city has formed, including with the Metro Detroit Black Business Alliance, Eastpointe Cops Care, and the Boys & Girls Club. In addition, Macomb County Habitat for Humanity renovated 16 homes in the city during the past two years. The Community Housing Network is another partnership that developed. On May 20, 2022, the CHN held a ribboncutting to officially announce the opening of the Erin Park subdivision near Stephens Drive and Gratiot Avenue. To date, the Eastpointe City Council has approved an ordinance to permit three medical marijuana provisioning centers. “There are distance requirements from homes, schools, public parks, existing child care centers and places of worship or religious assembly,” Owens’ PowerPoint presentation stated. “The city will receive a distribution from the State of Michigan from Marijuana Taxation. Estimated to be around $5,000 per facility.” The distribution will vary per year. Infrastructure investments include the Modern Nine Main Street Project. Nine Mile Road from Beechwood Avenue, where the Eastpointe city limit begins, all the way to Interstate 94 is undergoing a complete reconstruction. Other projects include the reconstruction of Mott Avenue from Kelly Road to

Beaconsfield Avenue. Street resurfacing is planned for Sprenger Avenue from Boulder Avenue to Shakespeare Avenue; Ego Avenue from Shakespeare to Cushing Avenue; and Juliana Avenue from Virginia Avenue to Shakespeare. There will be a budget presentation at the April 4 City Council meeting. Budget workshops are planned for May 2023 with specific dates to be announced. Officials are in the process of identifying grant opportunities for business support, park improvements and walkability paths.

During her presentation, Gibson shared information about the district’s strategic plan that the school board passed in January 2023. The plan includes the district’s mission, vision and motto, along with goals and strategies. The strategic plan is available on the district’s website at eastpointeschools. org. The strategic plan focuses on student growth and achievement; learning environments and support; a working environment and high-quality staff; family and community partnerships; and resources for finances, facilities and technology. The plan also includes core values and a portrait of a graduate, adult and system. The graduate portrait, for example, includes the knowledge, skills, character and mindset needed to thrive in life. The core values are designed to guide actions and behaviors and include safety and well-being; healthy and trusting relationships; diversity, equity, inclusion and cultural competence; and connected families and collaborative community. “This is our roadmap to success as a public school district and as a community

Eastpointe Mayor Monique Owens speaks to the audience during the State of the City address March 2 at the Lutheran Fraternities of America No. 57. who supports the public school district,” Gibson said. “We have lost trust in our public education system. Your neighbors will display signs that their child goes to Lakeview or South Lake or another district. This divides us as a community. The school district recognizes we need to build trust back with all of you. Trust is built by reliability and making deliverable promises and following through with them. “Our students’ success is this community’s success. How we provide and get graduates helps to define a road map for your future employees,” Gibson said. “We’re interested in making homeowners and citizens.”

She mentioned that the district has an Early Childhood Center. “It started out with two classrooms and now has over 282 students,” Gibson said. “By offering early childhood education, I have kindergarten students who are coming in not just ready for kindergarten, but ready at midyear for kindergarten learning because we are building a strong foundation.” Using a QR code, Gibson asked the crowd what they would like to see more of in the district. They responded with answers of job training, skilled trades, flexibility and agility, diversity, community partnerships, and making sure students learn how to become adults.

LEFT: Eastpointe Community Schools Superintendent Christina Gibson talks about the district’s strategic plan that the school board approved in January. RIGHT: During her speech, Judge Kathleen Galen acknowledges the dedication of her staff at Eastpointe’s 38th District Court. “We want to start getting better partnerships with our civic organizations, with you and your businesses,” Gibson said. “Eastpointe Community Schools is paying for people to go back to school to get their teaching certificates. We have paraprofessionals that have been committed to this community serving our children and we are now funding their college education to achieve a bachelor’s degree and get teaching certificates. If you know of anyone to be part of this great team, we want them.”

38th District Court

“It’s a one-judge court. I am the current judge from 2021 through 2027. We are the busiest single-judge court in the state of Michigan,” Galen said. “In 2021, there were 25,034 cases that were filed in the court. Our city has a population of 34,318. Last year, the numbers were 24,252 cases that we processed. I’m proud to report we have good people in place at the court. We have good working relationships with the city and the Police Department, which has been a real godsend. “Because our numbers are so high, we may be eligible for a second judgeship in our city. We are in the works of trying to put a plan together for a new courthouse and hopefully a new judge,” Galen said. “The city has purchased the property to the east of the court. The goal is to have a justice center with a modern Police Department and courtrooms for two judges and two magistrates.” The court is also moving forward in terms of its technology. “We are on board to get started on where the state is going to come in and help us to electronically file civil cases,” Galen said. Court staff also are using the CloudGavel electronic warrant solution.

“Traditionally, if you needed a warrant signed … if there was a major crime in the middle of the night, the police would go to the Police Department to type it out. They’d have to go to the judge’s house, wake the judge up, go back to the Police Department and process it,” Galen said. “This CloudGavel allows everything to be done electronically in the middle of the night.”

Resident reaction

Resident Craig Wodecki attended the luncheon with his wife, Kathy DiCenzo. He’d like for the information from the event to get out to the residents somehow. “I wish they would televise or make the meeting available to the public,” Wodecki said. “The public needs to hear what’s coming from the leaders’ mouths and not the gossip in the neighborhood.” Married couple Anita and Darius Blackmon were among the residents at the State of the City address. Anita, who owns the coaching and consulting services business Purpose To Purpose, heard about the State of the City through the chamber. “It was nice and very informative,” Anita said. “I know there are a lot of changes going on in the community. I wanted to see and hear what was taking place. I know about the Nine Mile Road project. I wanted to see what plans are coming forth.” Darius, a retired federal police officer, is concerned about break-ins in the city. “It’s a safety concern. Let’s keep our eye on that,” he said. “I see a lot of things that need to be watched.” But he also sees the positive side of the city and appreciates the family town aspect in Eastpointe. “It’s a very interesting community because it’s growing,” Darius said.

felony; and felon in possession of a firearm, a five-year felony. At the time, Eastpointe Public Safety Director George Rouhib said that White knew Houston. “Robbery was not the motive,” Rouhib said at the time of the crime. “There was some type of altercation that took place in the basement area.” White’s trial began Feb. 14. After seven days of testimony, the jury took 90 minutes to reach a guilty verdict, according to a press release from the Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office. “Our office has been charging gun crimes all day every day,” Macomb County Prosecutor Peter Lucido said in the press release. “Thank you to the Eastpointe Police Department for their swift investigation in this case.” White’s attorney, Stephanie Carson, declined to comment. However, she said White plans to appeal the verdict. White is currently scheduled for sentencing at 9 a.m. April 6 in front of 16th Circuit Court Judge Matthew Sabaugh. White faces life in prison without the possibility of parole. Call Staff Writer Brian Wells at (248) 291-7637.

EE W E H T F O E CRIM • K E E W E H E OF T M I R C • K NEWSWORTHY E E OF THE W INCIDENTS REPORTED TO LOCAL POLICE, AS COMPILED BY C & G REPORTERS

Chainsaws stolen

ST. CLAIR SHORES — At 5:50 p.m. on Feb. 14, in the 31000 Harper Avenue, officers responded to an incident where three chainsaws were stolen. Upon arrival, officers spoke to an employee who stated that two unknown suspects entered the store, took the chainsaws and left without attempting to pay for the merchandise. A second employee provided descriptions to the officers and said that they left in a white vehicle. The employees were given a copy of the report number.

Driver arrested after traffic stop

ST. CLAIR SHORES — At 12:53 a.m. on Feb. 9, on Eight Mile Road at Harper Avenue, officers were doing a routine traffic stop when another vehicle sped past. They followed the vehicle into a gas station, where they approached the driver, a 20-year-old man. The driver was allegedly aggressive, yelling profanities at the officers, flailing his arms and making other movements. It was found the driver did not have insurance, and he continued to act disorderly until the officers tried to put him in the patrol car. When an officer warned the driver that he would be pepper sprayed if he kept kicking, they were able to close the patrol car door and take him to the St. Clair Shores Police Department for processing.

Vehicle theft reported

ST. CLAIR SHORES — At 1:51 p.m. on Feb. 5, in the 20000 block of Eastlawn Street, officers responded to a report of a stolen vehicle. Upon arrival, officers were met by the registered owner who stated that the last time she saw her vehicle was around 4 p.m. on Feb. 3. She noticed her car was missing at approximately 1 p.m. on the listed date. Officers made contact with a neighbor who last saw the vehicle on Feb. 3 and noticed broken glass on Feb. 4. The neighbor stated she disposed of the broken glass she found.

Customers leave without paying

ST. CLAIR SHORES — At 8:35 p.m. on Feb. 1, in the 23000 block of Marter Road, officers responded to a report of customers walking out on their bill at a restaurant. Upon arrival, officers spoke to the manager who stated the suspects ordered and consumed food. The suspects then allegedly got up from the table and walked out without paying. They got in a vehicle and left westbound on Marter. The officers advised the manager to save any video evidence for detectives.

People walk out on bill

ST. CLAIR SHORES — At 12:12 a.m. on Feb. 5, in the 23000 block of Harper Avenue, an officer responded to a call of a party leaving a restaurant without paying. Upon arrival, the officer spoke to the manager, who stated both the suspect and the suspect’s friend walked out on a bill, but the suspect left the receipt and her license. The two left in an unknown direction. Contact was made with the waitress who attended to the table, but she did not have much information. The officer advised that a report would be made.

Road rage, assault reported

ST. CLAIR SHORES — At 2:12 a.m. on Feb. 13, on Interstate 94 at 10 Mile Road, officers responded to a road rage incident involving a felony assault. Upon arrival, officers met with the victim, a 46-year-old man, who stated he was driving east on I-94 in the area of Nine Mile Road when a vehicle carrying four men cut him off. The victim proceeded to cut them off and the back and forth proceeded two more times. The victim then shouted for them to fight him. They proceeded to match his speed and fired four shots into the side of his car. When the officers asked the victim about the details, he reportedly got defensive. The victim stated he followed the vehicle to get a license plate but was unsuccessful. The officers asked why he did not call the police, and the victim stated he was alone at the time. There was a bullet hole in the victim’s vehicle, but no bullets were found.

Driver found with drugs

SHELBY TOWNSHIP — At 11 p.m. Jan. 31, an officer on patrol in the area of 22 Mile and Ryan roads initiated a traffic stop on a vehicle for a traffic violation. The vehicle was not registered with the Secretary of State, so the officer impounded the vehicle. The driver reportedly appeared very nervous when informed that his car was going to be impounded. While doing an inventory search of the vehicle, the officer located a gun in the back seat, police said. When the driver was being handcuffed, a straw with fentanyl was located on him. The driver was placed under arrest for carrying a concealed weapon and possession of fentanyl.

Woman scammed out of $1,000 after being told sister is hostage

SHELBY TOWNSHIP — At 3:02 p.m. Jan. 30, officers were dispatched to the 12000 block of Culver Drive, near 21 Mile and Schoenherr roads, for a fraud

report. The caller stated that she had received a phone call from an unknown man. The man told her that her sister was being held hostage and he needed $1,000; otherwise, he would hurt her sister. The caller then withdrew $1,000 from her bank account and wired money to a location in Mexico. Shortly after sending the money, she spoke to her sister on the phone, and her sister informed her that she was OK and that the phone call was a scam. Police were investigating.

Driver with expired license plate admits she drank too much

SHELBY TOWNSHIP — An officer on patrol in the area of West Utica and Dequindre roads observed a vehicle with an expired license plate at 2 a.m. Jan. 29. The vehicle was also unable to maintain its lane. The officer initiated a traffic stop. When talking to the driver, the officer reportedly could smell a strong odor of intoxicants. The driver stated that she had just left a local bar and reportedly admitted to having four beers. The officer then had the driver exit her vehicle so she could perform field sobriety tests. After completing the field sobriety tests, the driver was offered a preliminary breath test. The driver refused to take the PBT, telling the officer that she didn’t want to take one since she already knew she was over the legal limit, according to police. The driver was then placed under arrest for suspicion of operating while intoxicated. She was then transported to the Police Department, at which time a blood draw was completed to determine the driver’s blood alcohol content.

Apartment complex office locks damaged

SHELBY TOWNSHIP — At 7:51 a.m. Feb. 1, officers were dispatched to an apartment complex in the area of West Utica and Ryan roads for a vandalism report. The locks had been damaged at the main office of the apartment complex. The vandal caused approximately $170 worth of damage. Police were investigating.

Business broken into, items stolen

SHELBY TOWNSHIP — Officers were dispatched to a business in the 46000 block of Van Dyke Avenue for a breaking-and-entering that had been discovered at 1:58 p.m. Feb. 5. The owner of the business, when he arrived for work, discovered that some of his merchandise was missing. Surveillance video showed two individuals inside the building stealing merchandise overnight. The burglars gained entry by pulling the exterior door open. Evidence technicians were called to the scene to gather evidence. The detective bureau was investigating.

Burglar attempts to steal vehicle

SHELBY TOWNSHIP — At 7:39 p.m. Feb. 3, officers were dispatched to a residence in the area of 21 Mile and Hayes roads for a breaking and entering report. Officers made contact with the homeowner, who stated that he went out to his garage that morning and discovered the garage door was partially opened. He then discovered the rear window to his vehicle that was parked in the garage had been broken out. Also, paneling under the glove box was removed with wires hanging out. Police said it appears that the burglar broke into the garage to attempt to steal the vehicle that the homeowner had parked inside, but the burglar was unsuccessful in stealing the vehicle. Police were investigating.

Meijer catches customers stealing in self-scan checkout

SHELBY TOWNSHIP — At 12:30 p.m. Feb. 5, officers were dispatched to Meijer, 15055 Hall Road, for a complaint of a retail fraud in progress. Loss prevention officers observed two subjects in the self-scanning area not scanning all the items in their carts. Police arrived on the scene while the suspects were still in the store. Loss prevention officers stated that the suspects would self-scan one item, then place multiple items in their bags. Both subjects were arrested and charged with retail fraud.

Almost $1,000 in Nike clothes stolen

STERLING HEIGHTS — Two female suspects allegedly shoplifted $995 worth of Nike clothes from Kohl’s, 44200 Schoenherr Road, Feb. 3. The suspects allegedly hid the merchandise in a purse and additional bags before leaving without paying. They reportedly got away in a gold Chevrolet Equinox toward the direction of the nearby Steak ‘n Shake before witnesses lost sight of their vehicle. Police investigated the area but couldn’t find the vehicle.

Safe, piggy bank raided at home

STERLING HEIGHTS — A burglary reportedly happened sometime between 9:15 a.m. and around 8:30 p.m. Feb. 3 at a home in the 5000 block of Woods Drive, near 14 Mile and Mound roads. The victim reportedly noticed the basement lights being on upon return as well as open doors upstairs that had been closed earlier that day. A bedroom safe and a piggy bank were also broken and raided, police said. According to police, cash, a wedding ring, necklaces and other jewelry were stolen. Police spotted pry marks on some doors. Police said they had no suspects.

WARREN HELPS NEIGHBORS ACROSS THE CONTINENT

WARREN — After the 7.8 magnitude earthquake hit Turkey and Syria on Feb. 6, leaving more than 41,000 people dead and hundreds of thousands displaced from their homes, Warren mayor James Fouts wants to help and is seeking support in his Earthquake Relief Drive. “I am volunteering to collect new/gently used clean blankets, overcoats/coats, gloves, scarves, beanies, new, never-worn underclothing, and warm clothing items to send to Turkey and Syria,” Fouts said. “I will also donate a personal check of $1,000. I encourage other mayors in the metro area to do the same!” Items can be dropped off at the Mayor’s Office until March 13. The office is located on the second floor at Warren City Hall, Mayor’s Office, 1 City Square, Suite 215, Warren, MI 48093. “I encourage others to donate whatever they can, as this is the most devastating earthquake in nearly a century!” said Fouts. “Imagine small children being dug out of rubble, as well as old people and babies trapped outside in cold frigid weather without warm clothing and protection!”

Donor registry awareness bill introduced

LANSING — On Feb. 1, state Reps. Lori M. Stone, D-Warren, and Penelope Tsernoglou, D-East Lansing, introduced House Bill No. 4060. The legislation, if passed, would encourage physicians at private practices or urgent care centers to provide information to patients interested in organ, tissue or bone marrow donations. “This legislation would raise awareness for patients to be informed on how to have their name placed on the donor registry,” Stone said in a prepared statement. “The bone marrow, organ and tissue donor registries have declined significantly over the past few years. The bill recognizes the important role trusted medical experts fulfill as a conduit to provide resources, educate and answer questions. This information can help increase the number of donors on Michigan Organ Donor Registry — awareness is key.”

Shrine students raise money for veterans

BERKLEY/ROYAL OAK — Students from Shrine Catholic Grade School recently raised money to support local veterans. According to a press release, students held a fundraising drive to support veterans of the U.S. military. The money, a total of $2,200, was given to the Berkley American Legion Post 374 during a pep rally on Feb. 3. The funds then were given to the American Legion Department of Michigan for use by the Michigan American Legion Foundation in support of wounded and returning veterans in the state. “We are incredibly proud of our students for their hard work and dedication to support our veterans,” John LaCroix, a teacher at the grade school, said in the release. “Their efforts have made a significant impact on the lives of those who have bravely served our country. We would like to thank the Berkley American Legion for their support and guidance throughout this initiative.”
