FRASER — The Michigan State Police have charged the former information technology director for the city of Fraser with
embezzlement following an investigation requested by the city. The former employee, Michele Kwiatkowski, was arraigned in 39th District Court on one count of embezzlement over $100,000 on April 20. The charge is a felony
punishable by up to 20 years in prison. It is alleged that from 2016 through 2020, she used the city of Fraser’s American Express credit card to purchase personal items. A $5,000 personal bond was set by the judge.
“Public corruption strikes at the very heart of our democracy, eroding public trust and undermining the rule of law,” Macomb County Prosecutor Peter J. Lucido said in a press release. “When individuals in positions See EMBEZZLEMENT on page 12A

Fraser track and field adding to the trophy room BOYS TRACK SWEEPS MAC WHITE, GIRLS EXTEND LEAGUEWINNING STREAK BY JONATHAN SZCZEPANIAK jszczepaniak@candgnews.com
FRASER — Fraser High School is the title town of Macomb Area Conference track and field. The girls team has made constant additions to the trophy room the past few seasons, winning three straight league titles (two in MAC White, one in MAC Blue), but the boys team is starting to add some of its own. While also winning the MAC White dual meet title this season, the boys team took first in the MAC White meet at Fraser High School on May 15. Led by senior Justin Roose and junior Tyler Donovan, Fraser earned the league title by a point over rival Utica High School. Fraser fell short to Utica in the dual meet standings last season, but an unbeaten 5-0 record and a MAC White meet win has made Fraser one of the teams to beat in the MAC. Donovan earned first in the 800-meter and second in the 1600-meter, while
Roose finished third in both events. Roose and Donovan teamed up with senior Jacob Mayowski and sophomore William Minor to earn first in the 4x400 meter relay, while Roose, senior Michael Susan, senior Connor Steepe and junior Lucas Shemansky collected first in the 4x800 meter relay. Alongside senior Andrew Thomson, who’s been impressive in the 800, 1600, and 3200-meter this season, Fraser’s senior core has been the catalyst for their success. Fraser coach Kevin Storai said Steepe, Thomson and Roose, who are all four-year varsity runners, have set the standard for the Fraser track and field program. “These guys kind of became the core group, and Justin (Roose) has been the leader of that,” Storai said. “I give a lot of credit to him for helping our girls program, too, because he’s so charismatic. He’s the one that gets everyone together in cross country and in the winter. He’s the one that’s the leader that everyone really gravitates towards to push us forward.” Senior Jason Weems tacked on a second-place finish in the 110-meter hurdles while junior Keonte Riley took third in the 110-meter hurdles, third in the long jump and second in the high jump.

MCC launches tuition-free program for qualifying students MACOMB COUNTY — In an effort to further provide opportunities to students who want to earn associate degrees, Macomb Community College has launched Macomb Tuition Advantage. Macomb Tuition Advantage, effective immediately, will provide free tuition to Macomb students with a combined family income of $70,000 or less. The program is open to students already enrolled in the college or for those who plan to start in the fall of 2023 and are pursuing an associate degree program. “We’ve been working on this for the last several months. We’re always looking for opportunities to provide additional support,” Macomb President James O. Sawyer IV said. “Earning a college credential remains a key factor in sustainable employment and earnings. Macomb Community College is committed to ensuring the transformative power of education is within the financial reach of all, regardless of year of high school graduation, previous attempts at attending college or current residency.” The Macomb Tuition Advantage program is open to anyone attending or interested in attending the college. Students do not have to be a Macomb County resident to apply. “This is not a loan,” Sawyer said. “It’s similar to a scholarship.” According to a Macomb press release, the median income in Macomb County is $67,828. To be eligible for Macomb Tuition Advantage, an individual’s annual family income must be $70,000 or less with assets of $50,000 or less; be registered or register at Macomb; and have completed the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. Any federal and state grants the student is eligible for will be applied first, with Macomb’s program covering the remainder of tuition and fees owed. Students enrolled in the Macomb Tuition Advantage program must be enrolled full-time, which is a minimum of 12 credit hours per semester, and maintain a 2.0 grade point average. The program is renewable for up to three academic years. Assets of $50,000 or less, based on the FAFSA, are considered the following: total cash balance in checking and savings, net worth of investments that does not include the primary home, and a net worth of any business or farm.
In many cases, college officials predict many of the Macomb Tuition Advantage students will be those who are already pursuing associate degrees through two state tuition-free programs, Futures for Frontliners and Michigan Reconnect. “The college will cover the balance. We have seen programs that take tuition and fees out of the equation for prospective students, such as Michigan Reconnect, are a real game changer for many members of our community,” Sawyer said. “Macomb Tuition Advantage is building on this proven approach and taking it a step further by broadening access to critical financial support to those who need it,” he continued. “The program supports the college’s commitment to fostering student success and degree completion, providing the financial means so students can focus on steady progress through their program, and encourages a college-going culture to support the long-term vitality and prosperity of our community.” As per the press release, the state also has introduced a new program for 2023 high school graduates known as the Michigan Achievement Scholarship. It will provide up to $2,750 annually for students to attend a community college beginning in the fall of 2023. The funding for the Macomb Tuition Advantage will be provided by the Macomb Community College Foundation. The Foundation, established in 1999, is a nonprofit organization that manages monetary contributions from individuals, foundations and corporations to benefit the college. The foundation raises money for educational scholarships for Macomb students. Contributions are deductible on federal tax returns and are eligible for State of Michigan tax credits. Donors are asked to consult their tax advisors for further information. Sawyer stressed that funding for the Macomb Tuition Advantage will come from “a different pool of money” than that which is used for the scholarships. “A lot of the scholarships are endowments,” Sawyer said. “This will not displace the other scholarships.” For more information on the Macomb Tuition Advantage or to apply, visit macomb. edu and scroll down to the “Macomb News” headline. From there, click on the “Macomb Community College launches tuition-free program” heading and scroll to the end of the new release for the link to apply.

with mental health issues in our jails, and it’s crucial that we work to improve services to prevent individuals from being placed in a system that is not currently equipped to deal with these concerns. Confinement is not a substitute for treatment, and it is time for a mindful approach to mental health.” The expansion will replace the existing rehabilitation center, maximum security facilities and work release center. All inmates will pass through a revamped intake center, where they are screened for any mental health or substance abuse issues. If someone is determined to have such issues, Hackel said they may be able to “bypass” the criminal justice process in order to receive treatment if they do not pose a significant threat. “The main issue is making sure that, if somebody who is going to be here is identified as being a danger to society or (accused of ) some type of severe crime, we’re not letting them go,” Hackel said. “It’s not about people getting depression because somebody has a mental health issue and we’re finding some other location for them. If they need to be housed here (because) they committed a crime, we’re going to try to find out how to manage their care while they’re doing time in the county jail.” The jail will expand its medical and mental health intake bed count to 162, 108 more beds than it currently has. The total inmate capacity will be 1,218, an increase over its
current capacity of 1,034 inmates. According to Macomb County Sheriff Anthony Wickersham, the jail housed 782 inmates on the morning of May 11. With demolition set to begin sometime around 2025, the new facility will require state funds to meet its $228 million estimated demolition and construction cost. A total of $178 million will be split between county general fund dollars and American Rescue Plan Act funds, with the latter accounting for $128 million. The state is expected to provide the remaining $50 million. If not, Macomb County Deputy Executive Vicki Wolber said the county’s Board of Commissioners would be asked for additional funds, “whether that is other county funds or if we do need to go and ask for a bond.” According to officials, the move for improved mental health services in the county jail is because of a long-term cutting of public health services and facilities. This has led to jails becoming the primary mode of treatment for people with mental health and substance abuse issues. “County jails have been the mental health centers for many years,” Wickersham said. “Here in Macomb County, we have been working on enhancing the supervision of those inmates and providing services to those that have mental health and substance abuse disorders.” A 2016 assessment of jail needs commissioned by the Macomb County Sheriff ’s Office brought back three main recommendations: intake and assessment, pretrial services, and creating new medical/mental health environments and services. “I’m really looking forward to the beginning of this
project,” Wickersham said. “This was three years of hard work from my staff and our contracted vendor to put this together, to address what Macomb County is going to need now and into the future, and we’re very confident that when we look at this (expansion) that we’re going to have the right beds to deal with people with mental health issues.” Alongside the expansion, Macomb County Community Mental Health announced plans to keep people with mental and substance abuse issues out of jail. Plans include establishing an alternative in the form of a “24/7 engagement center,” developing a jail diversion program, working to expand mental health services to high school students, establishing partnerships with first responders and implementing crisis screening in emergency rooms. The Juvenile Justice Center is also planned to be redeveloped into a noncriminal substance abuse and mental health center. Funding increases are not announced at this time, though MCCMH CEO Dave Pankotai sees the organization having positive budgets in the next three to five years. Its funding comes from Medicaid. “We also have an additional funding stream,” Pankotai said. “We are a certified community behavioral health clinic.” The behavioral health clinic can accept patients from around Michigan. Staffing requirements for the expanded jail are unknown at this time but Hackel hopes the number will “break even,” considering the closing of current operations in the renovated part of the jail.

‘EMERGENCE’ SHOW FEATURES BIRMINGHAM ARTS SOCIETY BY DEAN VAGLIA dvaglia@candgnews.com
MOUNT CLEMENS — Art and artists from around Michigan and the world have adorned the galleries of the Anton Art Center, but the latest show at the nonprofit’s home in Mount Clemens comes from just across town. “Emergence,” running from May 6 until June 10, features 45 works created by the members of the Birmingham Society of Women Painters. Founded nearly 80 years ago, in 1944, the society has allowed its members to pursue their artistic passions and get the recognition they deserve. “It was started because women painters were not really accepted or getting into shows or anything like that,” said Lesley Kutinsky, president of the Birmingham Society of Women Painters. “So to support women painters, a group of women got together and started the BSWP.” The society takes part in multiple gallery shows a year — this past year, it has been involved in six shows — one of which takes place at the local Birmingham Bloomfield Art Center. “Emergence” is their most recent show at the Anton Art Center, their last taking place in 2016. “I have to say that the Anton gallery is just beautiful and one of the loveliest galleries I’ve seen,” Kutinsky said. “It displays the artwork amazingly. It’s just beautiful.” Around 80 paintings were submitted for the exhibition, according to Kutinsky. Guest juror Darcel Deneau, a 2021 Kresge Artist Fellow and a graduate of the College for Creative studies, selected which of those would make up the 45 works to be displayed as well as which ones would receive further awards. A total of 25 of the society’s members are represented in the show. “(Deneau) was here to juror the show on the opening reception date and was originally asked to only choose two honorable mentions, but she loved the entries so much she asked if she could add two more,” said Stephanie Hazzard, exhibition manager at the Anton Art Center. “The group agreed and they added two more awards to the show.” The Anton Art Center is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday and has free admission. More information about the Anton Art Center can be found at theartcenter.org, and more information about the Birmingham Society of Women Painters can be found at bswpainters.org.

ave Renke purchased his first car before he even had a driver’s license. Two weeks before his 16th birthday, in the spring of 1976, Renke and a few friends were riding their 10-speed bicycles in St. Clair Shores. When biking through a random parking lot, the group spotted a 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air. Renke couldn’t take his eyes off the seafoam green beauty. The teenager left a written note on the windshield with his phone number, asking the owner to contact him if interested in selling the vehicle. “It was a 210 model, two-door post with a six-cylinder engine and an automatic Powerglide transmission,” Renke remembered. When he got home, the phone rang and on the other end of the line was the Bel Air owner, who made an offer to sell the car for $800. An excited Renke told his dad, who wasn’t so sure it was a good deal. “Why do you want to buy an old car like that?” he said. But Dad gave the OK for Renke to use the money he earned from his paper route to buy his first-ever set of wheels. Renke has always been a fan of the Tri-Five Chevy models, which refers to the 1955, 1956 and 1957 Chevrolet automobiles, including the Bel Air and Nomad. “I always thought they were very cool and was glad I bought it,”
Three of Dave and Rosemary Renke’s daughters had wedding photos taken with the Bel Air.

Mead finished second in the pole vault. On the girls side, distance running is where it all starts for the 2023 MAC White tri-champions (tied with Port Huron Northern and Utica). While a third-place finish at the MAC White meet kept the girls side from completing the sweep, the team continued to show why it’s one of the best in the MAC. Fraser’s reign of league titles continued this season behind a slew of young talent that coach Storai expects to keep the program’s momentum going for the next couple of seasons. “A lot of the success on the girls’ side has been tied to distance running because Fraser notoriously, and even when I was in school, was so bad at distance running on the girls side, and I really made that a point of emphasis to develop,” Storai said. Sophomore Grace Grupido, who broke the one- and two-mile school record as a freshman last season, took first in the 800-meter and 1600-meter at the MAC White meet to continue her dominant sophomore campaign. Grupido, who’s currently the regional leader in the 800, headlines a formidable underclassmen group alongside sophomores Luciana Rodriguez and Katie Cairney, and freshmen Sophia Thornton, Katelyn Frazier and Olivia Cereska. Rodriguez posted a third-place finish in
the 300-meter hurdles while also teaming up with Cereska, Frazier and Grupido to take second in the 4x400 relay. Rodriguez, Frazier and Cereska also took first in the 4x800 relay with junior Remi Flanz, who also took second in the 3200-meter. Cereska has been the surprise of the season with her substantial impact as a freshman, especially joining a team that was already strong going into the year. “I feel like it was a lot of pressure to uphold that standard that we had, but I feel like I’m fitting in pretty well with it,” Cereska said. Continuing its successful season, Fraser had an impressive showing at the Michigan High School Athletic Association Region 10 meet at Dakota High School on May 19. Fraser state qualifiers included Steepe, Susan, Roose and Donovan in the 4x800 (2nd), Riley in the high jump (2nd), Mead in the high jump (regional champion), Donovan in the 800 (2nd), and Grupido in the 800 (regional champion). The Fraser women’s 4x800 relay — including Flanz, Frazier, Grupido and Cereska — just missed the state qualifier mark (3rd) but broke the school record with a 9:56:31 time. Fraser will compete in the Macomb County championship meet on May 25 at Warren Mott High School before ending their season at the MHSAA Division 1 state finals on June 3 at Rockford High School Call Sports Writer Jonathan Szczepaniak at (586) 498-1090.

he said. “If you look at the ’54 Chevy, it was more rounded. In ’55, they made a big change to the body style. In ’55, you could get more color options.” For many years, Renke’s teenage purchase sat in his parents’ Warren garage. “I didn’t start enjoying it until the late ’80s and early ’90s,” he said. “I was always saving up enough money so I could buy the next part.” Prior to that, Renke and his friends spent many nights in the garage restoring the Bel Air. “It originally had a six-cylinder, and then we put a V-8 engine in it,” Renke said. “There was more power. I found an original 265 V-8 Engine and had it rebuilt.” In the late 1980s, the Bel Air got a new look when Renke’s cousin painted it India Ivory and Gypsy Red, which remain its current colors. While many maintenance upgrades have been completed over the years, “I tried to keep the car with the original look,” he said. Renke took the Bel Air with him when he and his wife, Rosemary, moved to Sterling Heights, and it’s still with the couple, who now reside in Macomb Township. Renke’s interest in cars dates way back to the days when he and his friends would take apart their bicycles. Renke eventually moved on to cars by buying and selling several different models, including a 1975 Fiat Spider, a 1969 AMC Javelin, a 1972 Oldsmobile Cutlass and a 1972 Pontiac Grand Prix over the years. “He always had a different car in high
school,” Rosemary recalled. According to Renke, because of his love for restoring older cars, Rosemary has “graciously” given up a parking spot in their garage for the past 30-plus years for the Bel Air. “It’s too nostalgic. It’s a part of who he is,” Rosemary said. “Cars are a part of your life.” In time, Renke’s dad had a change of heart and made Renke promise to never sell the Bel Air. “Seems he became very fond of it over the years, just as I have,” Renke said. “And I plan to keep the car and hope to pass it to someone in my family down the road.” The Renkes’ four daughters also are big fans of the Bel Air. Three of their daughters are married, and the car was on-site and photographed with each couple at all three weddings. “They have fun memories of it,” Renke said. Renke often takes his ’55 Chevy to many of the local car cruises and shows, including the Woodward Dream Cruise and the Lakeside Mall Circle Cruise-In on Monday nights in Sterling Heights. One fun event is the Berkley car parade the Friday evening before the Dream Cruise on Saturday. “You can park your car at the cemetery, get out and can talk to people. You drive down 12 Mile. The crowd is cheering. You feel like a celebrity,” Renke said. “You usually get a thumbs-up or a wave. People come to you and say, ‘My dad had a car like that.’ Everyone is very friendly.” The most mileage the Bel Air gets are the drives to Port Austin for its annual Carfest. As he prepares to retire soon, Renke hopes to enjoy his vintage vehicle “even more with family and friends.”

of public trust use their power for personal gain, they betray the public they serve. This brazen conduct cannot and will not be tolerated in Macomb County.” Kwiatowski’s next court dates are a probable cause hearing scheduled for 8:30 a.m. on June 14, and a preliminary exam is scheduled for 8:30 a.m. on June 21, both at the 39th District Court. Fraser City Manager Elaine Leven said that city officials were limited regarding what they could say on the matter, but she did confirm the city of Fraser requested the Michigan State Police investigation. Leven said she wants Fraser residents to be confident in their local government. “We can’t comment on the case, but I can say that we are working with the state police and getting this case to the state prosecutor has been a long time coming,” she said. “There are new people that are in the city ensuring that this does not happen moving forward.” Kwiatowski’s attorney, Elias Muawad, stated that his client was taking items purchased with the card to her home during the period in question due to the city offices being shut down because of the pandemic. “We are still going through the materials to determine exactly what was purchased, from where it was purchased and where it went,” Muawad said. “This was during COVID, so a lot of materials went to her home because the Fraser offices were shut down. She was told to take them to her home. We’re trying to determine what — if anything — she held on to.” He added that he believes the matter of the purchases should have been brought up prior to this investigation by the state police. “This should have been brought out prior to the agreement for her termination,” said Muawad. “There should have been a formal accounting at that point.” Call Staff Writer Brendan Losinski at (586) 498-1068.

Dina Caringi and Capt. Preston Susalla, of the Clinton Township Police Department, approached the board with the intention of using the funds to boost the department’s traffic and community policing capabilities through the creation of a traffic enforcement bureau. “The traffic bureau is a win-win for our department and for the community because (officers) are able to spend some really significant time in some of these problem areas getting to know the community (and) the residents, the neighborhoods (and) enhance our community relations in that aspect,” Caringi said. “It is to increase driver safety through enforcement, sure, but we also have an opportunity to grow as far as providing education.” Some of the community education ideas Caringi suggested include having the grant-hired officers go to high schools and give presentations. The officers could also be positioned around the township to increase the department’s presence. Susalla recounted a time from when he was part of the department’s former traffic bureau, when being out in the community allowed him to build re-
lationships with residents, which sometimes led to residents offering him coffee. Trustee Mike Keys, having looked over the department’s priorities for the grant and comparing it to the COPS grant’s wording, was unsure if putting the funds toward a traffic bureau would be in line with the goal of improved community policing. “This really, to me, should be used as a way to think outside of the box in community engagement and not the typical traffic situation in a neighborhood, meeting those that are willing to come give (officers) a coffee,” Keys said. “What I really want to see is those residents that aren’t comfortable with you to come knock on your window and give you a coffee.” Some of the applications Keys suggested were holding gun-buyback programs and giving auto part waivers in place of some tickets. Trustee Tammy Patton supported Keys’ suggestions, while also imploring the department to look into ways of enforcing traffic laws without utilizing officers, such as radar speed detectors. Township Supervisor Robert Cannon requested the department come back to the board every year to evaluate the effectiveness of the officers if awarded the grant. The board approved a grant submission with a 5-1 vote, with Keys providing the
only “no” vote. Trustee Julie Matuzak was not at the meeting.
Zoning code amendments
The board also approved amendments to the township zoning code, including the creation of the Groesbeck Overlay District. The updates were made by planning firm MKSK with the goal of making the code more “user-friendly,” including streamlining sections, revising definitions, clarifying the responsibilities of the building and planning departments and creating an overlay district to govern work on commercial and industrial properties along the M-97 corridor. “The goal is to ensure the corridor is more consistent and (to) help beautify the corridor,” said Ann Marie Kerby, a senior associate at MKSK. “The standards that we have in there include higher quality building materials, looking for better pedestrian connections, lighting and then we also have landscaping and screening standards built in there as well.” Township Clerk Kim Meltzer praised the inclusion of electric vehicle charging standards. Treasurer Paul Gieleghem asked how the updated code could help attract businesses to the southern parts of the township,
and Township Planning Director Bruce Thompson said a streamlined code is more attractive to developers and businesses than a code that is hard to navigate.
CDBG allocations
The board also approved the Community Development Block Grant allocations for 2023. The nearly $650,000 provided by the Department of Housing and Urban Development is split between administrative, public service and miscellaneous uses. Macomb Community Action received the highest amount of public service funds at $12,500; Turning Point, Advancing Macomb, Care House, Interfaith Volunteer Caregivers and MCREST each received $5,000; and the township senior center received $4,000. A total of $121,901 was put toward administrative costs, with an additional $8,000 going toward fair housing testing. In the miscellaneous uses category, $220,605 was put toward housing rehabilitation; $212,500 was put toward bringing sidewalks and curbs up to Americans with Disabilities Act standards; and $45,000 was put toward improving the senior center.

Students, donors recognized at scholarship luncheon BY MARIA ALLARD

CLINTON TOWNSHIP — Macomb Community College students who received scholarships this past fiscal year recently had the opportunity to meet their donors. On April 19, the Macomb Community College Foundation held its annual Donor Scholarship Luncheon on the college’s Center Campus with approximately 150 donors, students and college representatives. More than $350,000 in scholarships were awarded to approximately 480 students during the last fiscal year, July 1, 2021, to June 30, 2022. “This is really the one chance I get every year to extend my personal thanks both to you, the donors and to our students for all the work they are doing to pursue their academic goals,” Macomb Community College President James O. Sawyer IV said during his introductory comments. “It’s an opportunity for the donors to meet and hear the stories of the students they are supporting and get a sense for how their generosity is making a
profound difference in those students’ lives.” VitaMaria LoDuca served as student speaker. The 22-year-old Clinton Township resident is completing her classes this year for an associate degree in pastry arts. In February 2024, she plans to participate in the IKA/Culinary Olympics in Stuttgart, Germany, as a member of Macomb’s team prior to graduating. LoDuca received three scholarships: the Vince & Joe’s Gourmet Market Culinary Scholarship, Elaine Belich Memorial Culinary Scholarship and the Louis Franchin Pastry Art Scholarship. Adjunct professor Darrett Pullins also addressed the crowd. During his keynote speech, he credited his parents for his passion for education and the desire to create two scholarships in their name. The following new scholarships and a program fund were announced at the luncheon: • The Margaret Anderson Scholarship was established to honor economics professor Margaret Anderson and to support students pursuing education in the fields of See SCHOLARSHIP on page 15A

CLINTON TOWNSHIP — Clinton Township police officers were tapped in to help stop suspects on the run from Detroit police on May 9. After reports of a red Honda Civic driving recklessly came in, officers spotted the car on the shoulder of Village Road with an out-of-state license plate. After officers turned on their lights, suspects drove the car toward 15 Mile Road and Gratiot Avenue, drove onto the grass outside of a gas station, hit curbs, and drove into a pharmacy parking lot before hitting a lamp post and flipping the car. Officers got the suspects out of the car and arrested them as flames were noticed coming from the vehicle, which was later “fully engulfed in flames.” The car was allegedly connected to a stolen vehicle report out of Detroit, with teen suspects. Police later learned that the two suspects were 11 and 14 years old.
Car stolen from home
CLINTON TOWNSHIP — On May 8, a resident of the 37000 block of Charter Oaks Boulevard told the Clinton Township Police Department his car was stolen from his home. After parking the car in its assigned spot, the car was heard starting up and the resident saw it leave followed by a dark colored Dodge Charger. It was seen driving westbound on I-94.
Delivery deception
CLINTON TOWNSHIP — On May 5, a man walked into the FedEx store on Gratiot Avenue, showed identification and picked up packages for Ahee Jewelers. A manager later called to inquire about the state of the packages. FedEx told the manager the packages were picked up, but the manager said nobody had the permission to pick up the packages. Anyone with information about these incidents or others can contact the Clinton Township Police Department at (586) 493-7802. — Dean Vaglia

Upset man yells at hotel
STERLING HEIGHTS — A “highly upset” man reportedly was yelling and threatening staff in a hotel lobby along Van Dyke Avenue April 23. The hotel reported that the man had reserved a room at another hotel and went to the wrong place. According to police, staff later said the man left, and police were no longer sought for help.
Ex-worker evicted from child care center
STERLING HEIGHTS — Police went to a child care center in the 38000 block of Utica Road April 21 upon hearing that someone was being disorderly there. Police said they heard a woman yelling and demanding a check. Police reportedly learned that the facility had fired her and wanted her gone. The woman was reportedly given her paycheck. Police said the woman went to her car and loitered by it for a while before entering it. Police said the woman then drove the vehicle “in a manner to prevent officers from looking at her license plate” and allegedly wasn’t leaving the parking lot. Police said they ordered her to leave via a loudspeaker, and she did.
Vehicles drive recklessly in parking lot
STERLING HEIGHTS — A red Chevrolet Impala and a white Ram were recklessly driving in a parking lot along 18 Mile Road the night of April 21. The reporting person told police, with some uncertainty, that the vehicles’ occupants might have been exiting their vehicles to fight. When police arrived, they didn’t see the vehicles.
Burglary reported
ST. CLAIR SHORES — At 11:30 a.m. on April 20, a burglary report was made after an incident the same day in the 22000 block of 12 Mile Road. Upon arrival at the scene, an officer spoke to the victim, a 45-year-old man, who said his lawn equipment had been stolen sometime overnight. He said the equipment was being held in the lawn shed on his apartment complex grounds and owned by the property owner. The shed’s padlock system was reportedly pried open and damaged to where it was no longer usable. The suspect allegedly stole two Echo brand lawn tools and nothing else. The officer scanned the shed for evidence but found nothing. There were no cameras on the property. The property owner, who was out of town, was notified about the case.
Bike reported stolen
ST. CLAIR SHORES — At 4:14 p.m. on April 23, a report was made about a larceny that happened the same day at 12 Mile Road and Harper Avenue.
Dispatch advised two officers an unknown man had stolen a bicycle. After an officer checked the surrounding area, they spoke to the victim, a 33-yearold woman, at a business who said that she and her daughter were shopping when they noticed their bicycle was gone. A witness, a 42-year-old woman, said that as she was pulling into the business, she almost hit a man riding a bicycle around the side of the building. The man headed eastbound on 12 Mile toward Jefferson Avenue. Officers checked the area but no one was located.
Larceny reported
ST. CLAIR SHORES — At 9:11 a.m. on April 23, a report was made about a larceny that happened between April 22 and April 23 in the 22000 block of California Street. An officer received a report of a stolen license plate and upon arrival at the location saw a red vehicle with no license plate. The officer spoke with the victim, a 34-year-old man, who said he parked his truck in his driveway on April 22 at approximately 10 p.m. He reportedly saw that his license plate was missing on April 23 at approximately 9 a.m. The officer asked him if he was able to review his Ring camera and he said he checked and it doesn’t show anything.
Vehicle stolen from parking lot
SHELBY TOWNSHIP — At 9:22 a.m. April 22, officers were dispatched to an apartment complex in the area of West Utica and Ryan roads for a stolen vehicle report. Upon arrival, officers spoke to the caller, who stated that her vehicle had been stolen from the parking lot of her apartment complex overnight. The caller reportedly was positive that she had locked her car doors. The vehicle was entered into the Law Enforcement Information Network and a be-on-thelookout was issued to other police departments for the stolen vehicle.
Vehicle back window smashed
SHELBY TOWNSHIP — Officers were dispatched to the 4000 block of Auburn Road for a larceny report at 6:18 a.m. April 21. Officers met the caller, who stated that he woke up to find that the rear window of his vehicle had been broken out. After the owner inspected the contents of the vehicle, he determined that nothing had been stolen out of it.
Driver reportedly admits to having too much to drink
SHELBY TOWNSHIP — At 2 p.m. April 22, officers were dispatched to 22 Mile and Schoenherr roads for a driver who was asleep at the wheel in a left turn lane. Officers arrived and located the vehicle in the
middle of the roadway with its engine running. Officers approached the vehicle, noticing that the driver was asleep and the vehicle was still in drive. Officers were able to wake the driver and tell him to put the car in park and to shut off the vehicle. While officers were speaking to the man, they could smell the odor of intoxicants. Officers asked him if he had anything to drink, and he reportedly replied, “Probably too much.” Officer placed the man through field sobriety tests. After completing the field sobriety tests, the man was offered a preliminary breath test. He agreed to take the PBT, with the results being 0.226% blood alcohol content. He was placed under arrest for operating while intoxicated.
Customer steals 4 bottles of alcohol
SHELBY TOWNSHIP — Police officers were dispatched to Costco, 45460 Market St., for a retail fraud complaint at 3:38 p.m. April 21. Upon arrival, officers spoke with an employee, who stated that while reviewing video, she observed a male customer a few days earlier enter the store through the exit doors and go straight to the liquor aisle. The suspect then selected two bottles of cognac, concealed both bottles in his jacket pocket and exited the store. The suspect then reentered the store a short time later and stole two more bottles of liquor. The detective bureau was investigating and attempting to identify the suspect.
Police respond to customer trouble
GROSSE POINTE FARMS — Police were called to a restaurant in the 18000 block of Mack Avenue at around 1:53 p.m. April 19 regarding an angry customer who was reportedly armed with a gun and causing a disturbance. The customer, a 38-year-old Roseville man, was said by restaurant staff to have told them he was going out to his vehicle to get his gun because he was upset about the wait time and getting a cold hamburger. Police said the customer was frisked and found to not have any weapons on him, so he was told to leave the restaurant and not return. During the process of investigating this incident, police said they spoke with a 41-year-old Detroit man who had witnessed a verbal argument between the customer and a restaurant staff member. The Detroit man was found to be wanted on an outstanding felony warrant out of 37th District Court in Warren for fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct. The Detroit man was arrested on the warrant.
Man found sleeping in home under construction
GROSSE POINTE FARMS — A 45-year-old Detroit
man was arrested after he reportedly was found sleeping May 3 inside a home in the 300 block of Lake Shore Road that was under construction. A contractor called police after arriving at the home to work on the property and found the suspect sleeping on the floor in a room on the third floor. Police said they found and confiscated a wooden mallet that was lying next to the suspect. According to a police report, the suspect claimed to be the president of the United States, an Olympic athlete and a Michigan State trooper. The suspect is said to have resisted police when they arrived to arrest him. Later, inside a jail cell, the suspect is said to have slammed his body and fists against the cell door, leading police to transport him to a nearby hospital because the suspect was deemed to be a safety concern to himself and needed to have a psychological evaluation. The suspect was arrested for entry without permission and interfering with a police officer.
Suspect gets away with Apple watches
GROSSE POINTE PARK — Police said an unknown suspect stole a package containing two Apple watches — valued at $250 apiece — from a FedEx delivery dropped off on the front porch of a home in the 1100 block of Balfour Road at around 12:47 p.m. May 4. A witness saw a suspect get out of a blue Dodge Dart, take the package and flee northbound in the vehicle.
Squatters arrested for trespassing
GROSSE POINTE PARK — Police were called to a home in the 700 block of Grand Marais Street at around 11:41 a.m. May 5 after contractors working at the house discovered three individuals who were apparently squatting there. The three suspects — a 21-year-old Detroit woman, a 21-year-old Detroit man and a 17-year-old from Detroit — were said to have been arrested and charged with trespassing. Police said the suspects did “minimal damage” to the home in order to gain entry. Grosse Pointe City public safety officers and detectives are said to have assisted their counterparts in the Park on this incident.
Check fraud suspect sought
GROSSE POINTE CITY — An unknown suspect is being sought by police after he was accused of having deposited a fraudulent check for $22,567 into an account at the Comerica Bank in Grosse Pointe City at around noon May 2. According to a police report, the suspect has deposited numerous checks into multiple accounts at different locations and then tried to withdraw the money before the bank discovered that the checks were fraudulent. The suspect is said by police to have deposited more than $100,000 worth of checks.
