MACOMB COUNTY — Macomb County officials have announced plans for a new $228 million central intake and assessment center at the Macomb County Jail that will address the need for inmate mental health assessments.

“For individuals in crisis who lack support services, jail can sometimes be a first point of contact with medical professionals, and so it’s essential that they receive the proper care and support,” Macomb County Executive Mark Hackel said at a press conference at the Macomb County Communications and Technology Center on May 11. “We are responsible for being a voice for See JAIL on page 13A

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 See LUNCHEON on page 14A

VitaMaria LoDuca, 22, of Clinton Township, was this year’s student speaker at the Macomb Community College Foundation annual Donor Scholarship Luncheon held April 19 at Center Campus in Clinton Township.

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.

Local students plant trees in climate change campaign

BY DEAN VAGLIA dvaglia@candgnews.com

MACOMB TOWNSHIP — Two students are meeting the threat of climate change head-on in Macomb Township.

Nethanva Fonseka and Nick Hooton, residents of Macomb and Chesterfield townships, respectively, and ninth graders at the International Academy of Macomb in Clinton Township, are on a mission to plant trees across Michigan starting in their hometowns under the name Plant it Forward.

“We want to plant trees in Michigan because we’re both very passionate about nature and the environment, and we also know that Michigan has a goal to plant (50 million) trees by 2030, Fonseka said. “(The mission of) Plant it Forward is to contribute to that, and we also want to combat See ARBOR on page 16A

The decision to go with GFL was unanimous among the committee members.

“The evaluation team met, on average, one to two times a month to evaluate these proposals, each meeting lasting three to four hours,” Johnson said. “We sat with all of the bidders for a three-hour interview, and from there, we focused on a couple primary concerns. No. 1 was cost, No. 2 was customer service … and with other concerns being bulk pickup, missed pickup and what discounts could be offered to our residents to save them some money.”

From a cost standpoint, Priority was close but still more expensive than GFL. For under-60 customers, GFL had a base rate of $1,098.48, while Priority offered $1,123.20.

In a last-ditch effort to win the contract, Priority, based in Clinton Township, came out in full force. More than a dozen representatives from Priority attended the meeting, and Priority CEO Todd Stamper made a final plea to the board during initial public comments.

“I feel that if the council would agree to table (the vote) and actually do a site visit to understand why we can prove the excellence this township deserves on the service portion and on the customer service side,” Stamper

Sign permit moratorium

Trustees also approved a 90-day moratorium on receiving billboard permits in the township.

The move comes following a sign permit denial, which the Planning Department said later became a legal action.

“It filed its lawsuit challenging the ordinance that is currently in effect, not our new ordinance, but some of the concerns that

said. “Do a site visit of GFL, do a site visit of Priority Waste and witness for yourself.”

Priority’s ask for more time was joined by three public commenters who asked the board not to go with GFL. Despite the push

by Priority and the commenters, Cusumano made it clear the decision was settled for now.

“GFL was the lowest for the first fiveyear period. Priority then goes lower if it were to be extended for a full 10-year period,” Cusumano said. “But for the reasons I have stated off the record, when you’re making a significant change, there should be some driver that is either on price or on service, and I am not seeing that a sufficient, significant difference exists between Priority and GFL to necessitate making a change.”

Trustees voted unanimously to award GFL the contract, which will last for five years.

Dakota’s ‘fight’ to state finals fueled by family-like culture

BY JONATHAN SZCZEPANIAK

jszczepaniak@candgnews.com

MACOMB TOWNSHIP — For those on the outside looking in on Macomb Dakota softball, the 2022 season ended with a state finals loss to Allen Park.

For the Dakota players, the most important memory of last year’s state finals run was a surprise visit from assistant coach Bill Sobkowicz at Michigan State University. Sobkowicz was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a blood cancer of the plasma cells, in June of last year.

Under coach Dan Vitale and his solidified senior group, Dakota softball is a family on and off the field, and because of that, Dakota senior pitcher Alyssa Balcom said this year’s state title journey is about more than just resolving unfinished business.

“As much as we want to fight for ourselves to get back there, we want to fight to get back there for him (Sobkowicz), too,” Balcom said.

At 27-2 on the season, well on their way to securing their third straight Macomb Area Conference Red title and currently the No. 1 ranked team in Division 1, according to

Michigan High School Athletic Association rankings, Dakota has proved again this season why they’re the team to beat.

Aside from dominating MAC Red competition to the tune of a 10-0 record, Dakota also captured the Michigan Challenge Tournament in Canton last weekend against a field of some of the top teams in the state.

With eight returning starters this season, Vitale said his group came in ready to work.

“They came in this season like they were on a mission, and it wasn’t me pushing them,” Vitale said. “It was on them. They came in like, ‘Let’s go.’”

With a team that prides itself on family and support, there was no better way to enter the season than with a team bonding experience.

Like the uniforms Dakota wears each game, that experience was created by its senior core of Megan Nuechterlein, Brooklyn Plitz, Faith Maloney and Balcom.

“We knew that we wanted our team chemistry to be very strong this year, so as soon as tryouts were done, I think two or three days after tryouts were done, we had a team sleepover,” Plitz said. “We were like, ‘Alright, everyone is getting to know everybody.’

The new girls were like, ‘Oh my gosh, these girls are crazy,’ but we love them and we love our team.”

When she’s not coordinating events, the first team All-State infielder is dominating at the plate alongside Nuechterlein, Maloney and Balcom; juniors Gracie Maloney and Sidnee Puffpaff; and sophomore Jenna Higgins.

Nuechterlein, a Kent State commit, was named State Champs! Softball Player of the Year in 2022 and has continued to show why she should be in the conversation this season, leading one of the best pitching staffs in the state.

Gracie Maloney, a North Texas commit, has made an All-State case of her own this season, striking out 21 batters in a May 1 victory of Grosse Pointe North, and if Nuechterlein and Maloney aren’t enough, Balcom, an Oakland University commit, has been lethal with her pitch mix on the mound this season.

“If we score three or two runs, there’s a good chance we’re getting a ‘W,’” Vitale said.

“These pitchers are that good.”

For Balcom, Nuechterlein and Plitz, an Oakland University commit, it’s almost the end of an incredible era for the trio at Dakota.

The moratorium stops the receipt of new permits so the township can review the legal challenge under the past sign ordinance and how it could impact the new ordinance.

Pitchford crossing

On May 10, the board awarded Warren

Contractors a $239,502.21 bid to construct a pedestrian crossing at Pitchford Park.

Warren Contractors was awarded the contract to build the park, which did not include a pedestrian bridge over the Denryter Drain. The bridge was added, and Warren Contractors was picked because they already have equipment on-site.

The cost of the park is also being reimbursed by the state, as state Rep. Doug Wozniak and state Sen. Veronica Klinefelt included a $240,000 Michigan Enhancement Grant to the township in the 2023 state budget.

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.”

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.

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.

METRO DETROIT — Dave 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.

people 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.

Softball

Aside from their talent on the field, Dakota’s biggest strength arguably takes place in the dugout and off the field day in and day out.

“We work really hard at practice, and we practice extremely hard, but they have so much fun together,” Vitale said. “I can’t put words together on how this group gets together and has a blast. It’s one of the funnest teams I’ve coached.”

As for the seniors, regardless of the outcome, their future with Dakota is far from over. Like the impact previous senior classes have had on them, they’ll continue to make their mark on the upcoming Dakota teams.

Like the culture they helped establish, Dakota softball is a family they’ll always be a part of even after they graduate.

“Even after we leave, I’m still going to come back and see them,” Balcom said.

“I love our little babies,” Plitz said.

“It’s bittersweet,” Plitz said. “We all love playing together. I played with Megan when I was 10 years old. We played on the same travel team. I’ve known Alyssa. We all came from the Batbusters organization, and it was just really nice to watch each other grow. It’s kind of bittersweet because me and Alyssa are going to college together to play softball, and Megan is heading off to Kent State, and I know we’re going to visit her so many times.”

Dakota will open district play against MAC White’s Macomb L’Anse Creuse North on June 2 at 2 p.m. at Anchor Bay High School. Dakota has outscored North 16-1 in their last two state tournament meetings (2022 and 2021 district semifinals).

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 pas-

sion 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 economics, business or finance.

The DentaQuest Dental Science Scholarship was established for students enrolled in either the dental hygiene or dental assisting programs.

The Frank Johnson Utility Diversity Endowed Scholarship was established to honor Johnson on his retirement from Consumers Energy by the Consumers Energy Minority Advisory Panel. The scholarship will provide financial assistance to students seeking education in areas that impact the talent pipeline for energy.

The Brian Newman Accounting Scholarship was established by Macomb professor Brian Newman to provide financial assistance to accounting students.

correct environment once it is relocated to a site near the township’s new municipal plaza.

Pitchford Park, now under construction, is another Macomb Township place Fonseka and Hooton see as ideal for tree planting.

Even still, the duo looks to spread their mission beyond Macomb Township’s borders.

Some kind of connection with Green Macomb is being sought since Fonseka believes the Living Carbon trees can assist with the goal of increasing Macomb County’s urban tree canopy while also sequestering carbon. Hooton’s home of Chesterfield Township is another specific municipality the duo wishes to plant in.

Nethanva’s mother, Ramila, has been supportive of their cause, shuttling the two around the township and, with talk of rare seeds for the heritage garden becoming available in northern Michigan, around the state.

“They are just unstoppable,” Ramila said. “They are very passionate kids, so they’re very unstoppable. It’s been really sweet and inspiring for me, because my generation has already grown, and they’re so young and so conscious of tomorrow and so community minded. It’s inspiring to watch them.”

climate change as well.”

In Macomb Township, Plant it Forward works to restore vegetation to land that has been depleted by farming or construction.

One of the key parts of the duo’s approach is the use of a special kind of poplar tree engineered by California bioscience firm Living Carbon. “(The trees) are extremely significant in the fight against climate change because they can sequester up to 50% more carbon than a regular tree can,” Fonseka said. “By doing this, if we’re looking at fighting climate change through planting trees, planting these poplars will be extremely important in this because it reduces the overall number of trees to plant, but it achieves the same goal.”

According to an article published in the peer-reviewed journal Science, the trees are made by using a bacteria to combine genes from pumpkins and green algae with poplar tree genes. This lowers the trees’ rate of photorespiration — the tree’s need to remove phosphoglycolate, a byproduct of photosynthesis — and enables them to recycle carbon from phosphoglycolate to growth-aiding sugars. Similar work has been researched with tobacco plants.

Aside from their enhanced carbon-capturing ability, the trees were chosen because poplars are native to Michigan. Choosing depleted soils rather than healthy soil was also done to prevent any chance of contamination from the trees.

After approaching Macomb Township and receiving permission to plant trees on municipal land, Fonseka reached out to Living Carbon and received a donation of seeds.

With those seeds and a supportive township, Fonseka and Hooton were joined by Township Treasurer Leon Drolet and Parks Supervisor Ken DalPra on Arbor Day to plant 100 of the Living Carbon trees around the township’s parks.

“It was muddy, but we got out pretty much right before the rain,” Hooton said.

“The weather was nice. It was cool outside.

But as far as the planting process, a lot of the land was already humanly-interacted with so it was pretty bad (soil) conditions, a lot of clay soils, but … (the trees’) main purpose is fixing previously developed land.”

The successful planting in Macomb Township has proven to be just the beginning of Plant it Forward’s relationship with the township. The duo is currently working to construct a heritage garden — filled with native trees once common to the region — as a gift to the township to provide the old Macomb Township Hall with a period-

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

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.”

K E E W E H T F O RIME C • K E E W E H • CRIME OF T NEWSWORTHY INCIDENTS REPORTED TO LOCAL POLICE, AS COMPILED BY C & G REPORTERS

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.
