SELFRIDGE CELEBRATES 100 YEARS OF AERIAL REFUELING HARRISON TOWNSHIP — When military planes roar by for a flyover, onlookers usually spot some of the U.S. Air Force’s fastest and flashiest jets. But on June 27, two unsung heroes of military aviation took off from Selfridge Air National Guard Base for a statewide tour in their honor. The two KC-135 Stratotankers took off on a foggy and smoke-filled morning in late June for a nearly three-hour flight, buzzing by Michigan landmarks and communities in recognition of 100 years of in-flight refueling. Joined by two A-10 Thunderbolt II “Warthog” attack jets, the KC-135s showcased

in-flight refueling across the state as part of a nationwide celebration of in-flight refueling’s centenary. “On June 27, (1923) the Army Air Corps delivered fuel gravity-fed from one airplane to another airplane,” said Chief Master Sgt. Maurice Graves, group senior enlisted leader of the 127th Wing’s air refueling group. On that date 100 years ago, 1st Lt. Virgil Hine and 1st Lt. Frank W. Seifert made the first in-flight refuel by running gas down a hose from their DH-4B biplane to another DH-4B on a flight from Los Angeles to San Diego. Though the six-hour flight proved refueling could be done, another flight was made on October 25, 1923, from Lumas, Washington to Tijuana, See SELFRIDGE on page 11A

CLINTON TOWNSHIP — Residents might need to change their yardwork plans to comply with a new noise ordinance passed by the Clinton Township Board of Trustees at their meeting June 26. Introduced earlier in the month, the ordinance outlines several noise sources and defines if, how and when they can be used. Car horns and audible signaling devices are only to be used in emergencies. Unpermitted drums and loudspeakers, and “the keeping of any animal or bird so as to annoy or disturb the quiet, comfort or repose of a reasonable person of ordinary sensibilities because of frequent or long continued noise” are prohibited under the ordinance. Commercial excavation, construction and demolition is prohibited between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m.

DETROIT — In a time where finances are all over the headlines, two of the region’s most prominent politicians took time in late June to discuss the state of Macomb County’s economy. U.S. Rep. John James, R-Shelby Township, and Macomb County Executive Mark Hackel joined Michigan business leaders for the “State of the Economy” forum in Detroit on June 26, held at the offices of law firm Butzel Long and sponsored by the Michigan Chamber of Commerce. The two elected leaders addressed the county’s defense and transportation industries. A West Point graduate and former U.S. Army helicopter pilot, James expressed interest in securing a new fighter program for Selfridge Air National Guard Base. “When you look at the degradation of our fighting force here in Michigan — the A-10 Warthog, that fighter mission is being run off — we need to make sure that we have a fighter to replace it here,” James said. “We’re going to lose not only the economic impact but the likelihood of getting another fighter here. We cannot allow that to happen.”

Trustees receive audit, introduce ordinance amendments HARRISON TOWNSHIP — Auditing firm Rehmann gave the Harrison Township Board of Trustees an “unmodified opinion” on its fiscal year 2022 books, delivering its report at the June 26 meeting. An “unmodified opinion” is the highest grade for audits, and Rehmann’s report also

detailed there were no issues when completing the audit and no material mistakes were noted. However, there were some immaterial misstatements noted in their report which were addressed at the meeting. “There was a comment last year related to the way in which you allocate certain costs across funds ... stating that although those allocations are happening appropriately every year and on a consistent basis, there has

been no official study done in the recent past to make sure those allocations are still appropriate,” said Rehmann accountant Daniel Clark. “We would just recommend that you would consider having a study done or some sort of benchmark to make sure those allocations are appropriately happening.” Harrison Township had $29.4 million in revenue and $23.1 million in expenses in the 2022 fiscal year.

Slotkin includes Selfridge protections in NDAA MACOMB SCORES BIG WITH STATE BUDGET

MACOMB COUNTY — As the state of Michigan passed a $81.7 billion budget on June 28, Macomb County received a significant amount of funding for projects around the county. Macomb County’s government received $40 million to fund a renovation project at the Macomb County Jail. The $230 million project aims to rework the jail’s intake and health systems to address mental health and substance abuse issues among inmates. “The central intake and assessment facility is a critical component of keeping our community safe,” Macomb County Sheriff Anthony Wickersham said in a statement. “We are committed to upholding our constitutional responsibility to care for those that are in our custody. This new facility will provide us with the necessary space to implement vital programs and services that can make a real difference.” A $13 million allocation was included for upgrades to Selfridge Air National Guard Base for runway extension to prepare the base for a fighter mission in the future. “We can now begin the difficult but essential process of refurbishment and expansion that will allow for a new fighter mission to be assigned here into 2027 and beyond,” state Rep. Alicia St. Germaine, of Harrison Township, said in a statement. Lake St. Clair Metropark received $5 million to renovate the park’s north marina to build a new seawall, a new walkway, update and raise utilities, replace piers with floating docks and make ADA-accessible improvements.

HARRISON TOWNSHIP — Selfridge Air National Guard Base pilots can breathe a little easier now, as a plan to delay the retirement of the base’s A-10 Thunderbolt II attack jets was included in the 2024 National Defense Authorization Act. Part of the 34 provisions submitted by Elissa Slotkin, D-Holly, includes a ban on retiring Air National Guard fighter squadrons until the Secretary of the Air Force submits a fighter squadron recapitalization plan. Other provisions from Slotkin include bans on purchasing PFOS-containing products, the requirement of a Department of Defense report on the potential risks of Chinese autonomous vehicles, cancer screenings for military firefighters and restrictions on training foreign militaries.

MDOT installs distracted driving signs at the border

STATEWIDE — The Michigan Department of Transportation installed new signs along the state’s borders last month informing incoming drivers of the new distracted driving law. Coming into effect on June 30, the new law prohibits drivers from using a phone for social media, the internet and other nonemergency purposes while operating a motor vehicle, even while stationary at stop signs and red lights. The law expands on prior bans for talking and texting while operating a vehicle. First-time offenders will be charged a $100 civil fine and/or 16 hours of community service with $250 fines and/or 24 hours of community service for subsequent offenses. Penalties are increased if the cited driver is involved in a crash and for school bus and commercial vehicle operators. Statewide dynamic signs will also display the message, “NEW MICHIGAN LAW, NO HANDHELD DEVICES, WHILE DRIVING.”

Mount Clemens City Commission meets July 3

MOUNT CLEMENS — It was no long weekend for the Mount Clemens City Commission, which met on July 3. Trustees approved a switch from Plante Moran to Maner Costerisan as the city’s auditor, which City Manager Gregg Shipman says will save the city $12,000 on audits. Parking sticker changes were also approved with the red and blue lot stickers raising to $100 per quarter and green, yellow, orange and purple lots to $75 per quarter, effective Jan. 1, 2024. Both are $10 increases. Applications to run for mayor and City Commission this November are due to the city clerk’s office at 4 p.m. on Tuesday, July 25. At least 40 signatures from city residents are required to run.

‘THE CAR IS SO QUIRKY AND FUN’ BY MARIA ALLARD allard@candgnews.com

METRO DETROIT — When visiting his aunt and uncle in Tennessee in 1972, Scott Romano spotted a 1960 AMC Metropolitan for sale in the parking lot of a convenience store. The family had just driven by the Graceland home of superstar singer Elvis Presley in Memphis. “Elvis was still alive,” Romano said, remembering a family member who snapped a photo of his mom, Suzanne Romano, with Graceland in the background. “I saw this car

for sale. I kept looking at it and looking at it. I had never seen one before.” Romano’s grandfather, Leonard A. Davis — a car buff himself — jotted down the phone number of the seller. Davis called the owner, made a deal and ultimately purchased the two-door Metropolitan for Romano, who was only 12 at the time and too young to get behind the wheel just yet. “My grandpa thought it was so amusing, he bought it for me,” Romano said. “It had 28,000 miles on it when he purchased it. I was used to antique cars. I grew up around them.” Romano lived in Clarkston at the time, and Davis re-

sided in Waterford. “My grandpa kept this at his house in Waterford,” Romano said, who remembers many outings in the convertible with his grandfather. “I used to spend the summers there on Watkins Lake. He would take us for ice cream just about every night. We could put three (people) across in front and two kids in the back. I loved it.” It was through grandpa that Romano learned about cars. When Davis died in 1981, Romano inherited the vehicle. It was bittersweet. “I loved my grandfather. He was so patient about teachSee METROPOLITAN on page 7A

ing me how to detail a car or tell if a car was original,” said Romano, now of Royal Oak. “My mom said before I even started school, I could call cars by name when they drove by. My mom was into cars, too.” Davis was a noted antique car restorer. He also had a star-studded moment when he portrayed Henry Ford in a couple of scenes in the 50th anniversary feature film “The American Road.” The black-and-white movie was produced in 1953 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Ford Motor Co. The production mixes archival footage with reenactments. Romano has still photos of Davis’ shots in the film. “The movie was shown at Greenfield Village and Ford events,” Romano said. “It’s free on YouTube.” Romano’s mom upholstered the seats on the Metropolitan. Although he’s not Catholic, Romano decorated the car’s dashboard with a number of religious symbols, including the Virgin Mary. “When I was a kid, all the Catholics had them on their dashboards. I started collecting them,” he said, adding they also remind him of the song “Plastic Jesus” from the Paul

Newman movie “Cool Hand Luke.” “It was a fun song. It always stuck in my head.” Romano only takes out the two-door Metropolitan occasionally when “I just feel like driving it.” “The farthest I’ve gone is Port Huron or Ypsilanti. It has 37,000 miles on it now,” Romano said. “The car is so quirky and fun. It just makes you feel good. For as little as it is, the turning radius is like a Mack truck. The fenders all have lowrider cutouts.” Through his research, Romano is quite the historian on the 1960 AMC Metropolitan. According to Romano, the Metropolitan is an American automobile that was assembled at the Longbridge Plant in Birmingham, England. “The doors were interchangeable to save money. It does have this fun little feature: Underneath the dashboard, there’s a ventilation door to let air in,” Romano said. The car event he enjoys the most is the Ypsilanti Orphan Car Show held every year. This year’s Ypsilanti Orphan Car Show will kick off with a cruise Sept. 16 and the car show Sept. 17. For more information, visit ypsiautoheritage.org or call (734) 482-5200. “I wish more people knew about it. It’s a beautiful setting on Frog Island (Park),” Romano said. “You get to see Tuckers, Studebakers, Packards.”

introduce these various amendments to our ordinances.” The first of the amendments is the reinstatement of a municipal ordinance violations bureau. The bureau is a way for the township to collect violation fees without going through courts, with the bureau accepting payment only if an alleged ordinance violator accepts admission for the violation. If admission is not made within 10 days, the bureau may file a municipal civil infraction citation with the district court or pursue other enforcement options. Ordinance violations begin at $150 and go up to $275 for the second, $350 for the third and $500 for the fourth violation within a three-year period, as determined by the date of the violations. A $150 penalty could be applied to anyone who engages in criminal activity requiring a police response. A broad set of definitions was also added for the purpose of an anti-disorderly person ordinance, which would be punishable as a misdemeanor. Building officials have more power when it comes to determining if construc-

tion can occur in Lake St. Clair with the amendments giving them the discretion to require the approval of the board of trustees and township engineer on any construction which “may have an impact on the health, safety and welfare of the people of the Township and their surrounding lands.” The amendment is intended to send potentially disruptive construction projects to the board of trustees. “If it’s within somebody’s backyard and they’re putting in a boat hoist, we don’t need to know about it,” Verkest said. “If you want to go several hundred feet out into the lake, it needs to come back before the board of trustees.” Sign-related changes are part of the amendment set with new language directing those seeing a signage variance to apply for one from the zoning board and limiting the frequency of changes on changeable copy signs to once every 30 seconds. No future meetings have been published by press time, though second readings usually take place at the following meeting. The board will meet next on Monday, July 10.

Verkest clarified the township’s plans for the garden, which are to expand the garden to include a section dedicated to Lt. Col. Donald “Digger” O’Dell.

Monday through Friday, and between 6 p.m. and 9 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday without a waiver. Residential lawn mowing and landscaping is prohibited between 9 p.m. and 7 a.m. every day. “What we found is that it is difficult to enforce our existing ordinance because it is based upon rising to a certain decibel level,” Clinton Township Treasurer Paul Gieleghem said. The new ordinance gives much discretion to the enforcing officers with the definition of loud noises consisting of “any sound which, due to its volume, duration or character, annoys, disturbs, injures or endangers the comfort, health, peace or safety of a reasonable person of ordinary sensibilities.” It applies to any loud noises determined to come from “public streets, parking lot open to the public or other public place, any church or hospital or in any occupied building which is not the source of the noise, including the grounds surrounding the building.” Giving the officers discretion allows them to determine not just if the sound is too loud, but if the sound occurs frequently enough to be a public nuisance. Officers enforcing the ordinance are instructed to seek compliance via warnings before pursuing punitive measures. “I think the whole idea is to get compli-

ance with people getting along in neighborhoods,” Township Supervisor Robert Cannon said. Should punitive measures be pursued, the fine for breaking the ordinance begins at $200 and increases by $100 for the second and third offenses.

Spillway Trail grant application

Trustees also approved applying for a $450,000 Transportation Alternative Program grant from the Southeast Michigan Council of Governments for the purposes of rehabilitating the Clinton River Spillway Trail. Grant money would be used to pay for an asphalt overlay, new striping and adding a linear fitness park along the trail between Wellington Crescent and Union Lake Road. “The concept is similar to something you see in some of the Metroparks, and that would be workout stations where you could have a sit-up bar so you could do sit-ups easier or do pull-ups,” Clinton Township Public Services Director Mary Bednar said. “The idea is to incorporate along this linear park places where you could run, do whatever fitness you want to do and then continue to run.” The township pledges to pay 100% of planning and engineering costs and a 50% match for construction costs. A requested $300,000 Macomb County Department of Roads grant would be used to help pay for the construction match.

Mexico, in order to prove in-flight refueling could extend flight distances. A fatal accident a month later stopped in-flight refueling operations for about five years, but refueling resumed for demonstrations in 1928 and were fully embraced by the Air Force in 1948 to support the Strategic Air Command. The first in-flight refueling planes were stationed at Selfridge in 1959 with the KC97 Stratofreighter being flown by the 4045th Air Refueling Wing and the 500th Air Refueling Wing into the 1960s. The 127th Wing’s 171st Air Refueling Squadron began operating KC-135s in 2007. The 127th Wing’s KC-135s feature five crew members, including one pilot and boom operator. The operators are the ones who handle the job of moving the fuel from plane to plane. The mission of refueling planes in-air has become an essential part of the Air Force, giving equipment based in far and remote lo-

cations the ability to be utilized around the world. “It’s aerial refueling that really expands our Air Force’s power,” said 1st Lt. Jacob Hargrove, a KC-135 pilot. “Without it we are severely crippled. We are the true force multiplier, doing so as a deterrence against our enemies and it really does boost our allies in doing such things.” Planning for KC-135 flights begins well in advance of the mission and starts by examining expected weather conditions, planning routes, determining fuel loads and coordinating with the other receiving squadrons. Maintenance squadrons are also making sure planes are running as expected and operations support squadrons help with coordination between pilots. KC-135 pilots begin their training by learning how to fly within 10 feet of other planes with further training focusing on in-air stability and managing the fuel being passed. Boom operators begin on simulators before moving onto a series of test flights over six months.

Currently home to KC-135 aerial refuting and A-10 attack jet missions, local officials have been trying to secure a fighter mission as the U.S. Air Force remains on track to eliminate its A-10 programs. A recent attempt to secure a training school for foreign F-35 fighter jet pilots failed earlier this year, but the base recently unveiled a new hangar for servicing fighter jets. Hackel shared news about a runway reconfiguration that could make Selfridge a more attractive destination for a future fighter jet mission by shifting the runway north to reduce the base’s effect on a residential neighborhood. Moving into the automotive part of the discussion, Hackel spoke about how the county is improving its infrastructure. He said one such way of doing that is by building high-tech road corridors. “We have the most connected corridors than any other county, not only in the state of Michigan, but I dare say the entire country,” Hackel said. “We started years ago when they started implementing some of the technology for cameras to visualize what’s happening on our roads.” The potential of the connected corridors includes changing traffic light patterns in real time and notifying drivers of obstacles ahead of them. James focused his remarks on the auto industry, expressing a disinterest at emissions regulations set to impact cars for model year 2027 and his disappointment toward the industry for not aggressively opposing them. The White House is directing companies to have at least half of all passenger cars and light trucks sold in 2030, and all medium-duty and heavy-duty vehicles sold in 2040, be “zero emission,” and James in particular took issue with the penalties for

noncompliance. “The penalties that will happen between when this regulation goes into effect … will result in $90 billion (in) additional costs to the industry, and that’s not including an additional $9 billion in penalties,” James said. “If you take a look at the nearly $100 billion that would be through the enactment of this regulation at the end of that model year, it is the government taking a punitive approach to businesses.” James also expressed skepticism at the focus on electrification as a substitute for gas-powered cars, stating his desire for “an all-the-above energy approach” for future cars. “I have a hybrid; I have nothing against an ‘all-the-above’ energy approach,” James said. “If you want a battery car, get a battery car, but forcing people into one thing or another and then penalizing our job creators for noncompliance on a short or nearly impossible timeline is a recipe for disaster.”

‘The most honest person I had ever met’

In life, Richard Hubert Bown built homes where people built memories. Now, after his passing June 17 at age 88, family and friends remember the Harrison Township businessman as someone who tried to do each job right because he believed in doing right by others. Locally, Bown was known as the second-generation owner of Bown Flooring, a business his father founded nearly 100 years ago, in 1925. Bown took ownership in 1971. While flooring was his company’s focus, he was also well-versed in building homes and renovating them. Bown also built himself a family. He married Stella Hunt, his sweetheart from Lakeview High in St. Clair Shores, shortly after graduation. They were married for nearly 68 years, with Bown dying one day before their anniversary. Together, they raised three children: Colleen Gingas, Ron Bown and Mike Bown. Bown was also a grandfather to Jamie Gingas, Jessie Gingas, Paige Walsh and Luke Bown. He is pre-deceased by his parents Everett and Estella, his son Mike, and granddaughter Jennifer Gillie. Colleen Gingas described her dad as well-meaning, if a tad blunt at times. “First and foremost, he was always honest — he was one of those people who would just tell it like it is. And if he thought you really needed to hear it, he’d say it, even if you didn’t want to hear it,” she said with a laugh. “I think he was just trying to pass on his vast knowledge.” But she said her father backed up his words with action. “He was one of the bravest people I’ve ever known — he wasn’t afraid of anything,” she said. “He’d take on huge tasks, and he would succeed. Like finding ways to lift a house off its foundation. Or when my boyfriend and I had a wooden boat and needed to finish the bottom, my dad devised a large framework and used chains to actually flip it upside-down. “He was always busy, always doing something,” she said. “He believed in

hard work, and that hard work pays off. Totally — that’s him.” Bown was of English and German ancestry, and loved his mother’s German cooking. His wife learned many of the same recipes. He was also fond of small dogs like poodles and cockapoos, and had a soft spot for classic love songs from the ‘50s and ‘60s. Bown was also an avid boater, and enjoyed water sports like skiing and kneeboard surfing. Lake St. Clair was a favorite place, and he also loved visiting relatives at Lake Tarpon in Florida. “He just wanted everyone to have a good time,” Colleen Gingas said, noting how her father gave her and her siblings a yard full of playthings that made them a popular destination for the neighborhood kids — from the suburb’s first aboveground pool, complete with a deck and slide that Bown installed himself, to a sandbox, swing sets, jungle gym and more. “He was pretty chill about life, and very hands off, letting kids be kids. But he was always there when you needed him, and always supportive,” Colleen Gingas said. She also noted how her father tried to give back to the community. “He had a soft heart for people who worked hard but just couldn’t make it because they didn’t have the good luck or good fortune,” Colleen Gingas said. “Like as he got older, if there were chores around the house, he would try to work with people he knew might be going through a rough spell, just so they’d have more money. He tried to employ people like that, giving them opportunities.” Karen and Walter Bozimowski were Bown’s neighbors. Walter, an attorney, recalled how Bown bought the house right next to the lot where they were going to build their home. “We got to seeing each other, and hadn’t known each other at all before, but after meeting him and seeing him next door — he was always friendly, always gracious, always helpful — we just liked him from the start,” Walter said. “Then Richard had an issue with his business, and wanted to see if I could help. And

Remembering Richard Bown:

through that representation of him, it really became apparent to me that this was the most honest person I had ever met in my life — a person of great integrity. “As attorneys, we will often look at a situation and try to have our clients frame their answer in a way where they’re not lying, but where it’s most favorable to them — telling it the right way,” he said. “But Richard would have none of that. He saw things the way he saw it, and was willing to live with the consequences. He felt it would be dishonest to himself if he didn’t live his life that way. “That was the integrity portion of him, and he imparted that idea — to live your life with honor — to his kids, including his son Ron, who will now take over the business as the third generation,” Walter said. “All the things you heard about him being a great builder, a great family man, helpful to his friends and neighbors — that’s all absolutely true. But the area that impressed me most was what an honest guy he was. And seeing that is how we got him to build our house.” Walter said that Bown “did a fantastic job,” overseeing nearly every aspect of construction, finishing it himself with the help of his sons, his wife and some friends. “I don’t think there’s a house in the neighborhood built as structurally sound as ours,” he said. “The heating and cooling? Richard said, ‘I can do it.’ Electrical? ‘I can do it.’ Insulation? ‘I can do it.’ Whatever it was, he could do it. And he did.” “But he was a simple man, too,” said Karen. “A meat-and-potatoes kind of guy. And just really, really kind.” Added Walter: “He was a successful man, both in his relationship with his family and friends, and also financially, building a very nice business. But he also gave. If someone needed it, he would give them the shirt off his back, down to his last dollar.” Karen agreed. “Anyone who met Richard was a better person for it,” she said. “To have him in your life — even for just a little bit — he would make you a better person.”

NOTES

While each state has its unique official designations — state flowers, mottos and insects — many people are surprised to learn that only 13 states have a state dog. It’s estimated that approximately two-thirds of American households, tallying up to around 65 million, are dog owners. The pet advice website known as The Pampered Pup recently conducted a poll of 3,000 respondents to find out their preferred breed if given the opportunity to vote for an official state dog. Michiganders opted for the Gordon setter. In second place, Michigan residents voted for the Labrador retriever, while their third-place pick was the American Eskimo dog.

300 LOCAL GIRL SCOUTS HONORED FOR COMMUNITY IMPACT Photo provided by Rachel Felice

METRO DETROIT — Girl Scouts is about more than selling cookies, and the Girl Scouts of Southeastern Michigan are here to prove that. More than 300 Metro Detroit girls were recognized for their commitment to community and creating positive change in the world during the GSSEM’s annual High Honor Award Reception June 25. Nisha Singhi, from Bloomfield Hills, pictured, took home the prestigious 2023 Young Woman of Distinction Award for her project about the detrimental impact of released balloons on wildlife, marine life, natural resources and the economy. Singhi spent more than 170 hours on The Balloon Project, which resulted in policy changes at the local and statewide levels. The Bloomfield Hills City Commission and International Academy in Bloomfield Hills adopted policies banning the release and litter of balloons. At the state level, she worked with former state Rep. Mari Manoogian to introduce House Bill 5373 and state Sen. Mallory McMorrow to introduce Senate Bill 0675. “The High Honors Awards highlights the remarkable young women of GSSEM who embody everything that Girl Scouts stands for — programming that develops young women of the utmost courage and confidence who have the character, skills and relationships to make real changes in their communities,” said GSSEM CEO Monica Woodson. “As we honor this year’s class of outstanding Girl Scouts, we recognize their extraordinary achievements and the profound difference they can make in the lives of others. They are the driving force behind a brighter future for all, and we are proud to celebrate this moment with them, their families and their troops.”

EE W E H T F O E CRIM • K E E W E H T E OF M I R C • K E E F THE W Suspected Kohl’s shoplifter tries to flee from police

STERLING HEIGHTS — Police went to Kohl’s, 44200 Schoenherr Road, June 9 upon hearing that suspected shoplifting was in progress. A repeat offender was reported to be putting items such as kids Nike clothing in a cart. The suspect was described as tall and in his 50s or 60s. He reportedly had a salt-and-pepper beard and four missing front teeth. He was reportedly accompanied by a woman wearing a bandana and a tie-dyed shirt. Police waited for the individuals to leave the store and reportedly saw the woman leave from the north entrance and get inside the red Ford Taurus she had arrived in. Then the man reportedly came out of the store with a full shopping court, headed to the Taurus and started unloading merchandise into it. Police contacted the man, but he allegedly tried to run away. Police said they pursued him and eventually found him hiding under a parked vehicle. Although police ordered him not to run away, he allegedly did so again. When police reportedly caught up to him, they demanded he stop, but he allegedly said “no” and ran westward, crossing Schoenherr Road. Police said they finally arrested him for first-degree retail fraud after he crossed the street. Police said the suspect stole 41 items of merchandise worth a total of $1,458. Police also investigated the Taurus and said that, besides the one woman, there were two more female individuals in the car who never went inside the Kohl’s. Police said they released the three females.

Retail fraud reported

ST. CLAIR SHORES — At 3:18 p.m. on June 19, a report was made of a retail fraud that occurred on the same day at 1:30 p.m. in the 23000 block of Greater Mack Avenue. According to the report, an officer received a police run for an earlier retail fraud. Upon arrival at the stated location, the officer was met by a 19-yearold man who said an unknown woman walked out of the store at approximately 1:30 p.m. with an EGO Power Generator. The man stated the store was busy and he was mixing paint some time before 1:30 p.m. The woman entered the store, selected an EGO generator, placed it in her cart, and continued to the front of the store. There she removed it from the cart and exited the store, passing all points of purchase and making no attempt to pay for the generator. The man stated the theft was captured on the video security system. He was advised to keep the video and place it on a thumb drive.

Man found guilty of criminal sexual conduct with stepchild

ROSEVILLE — A 37-year-old Detroit man was found guilty in mid-June in Macomb County Circuit Court of two counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct. Following a four-day jury trial that ended June 16, Dewon Henderson was found guilty of the two counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct with a person under 13, defendant over 17. In December 2021, Henderson sexually assaulted his stepchild in a Roseville hotel, the Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office stated in a press release. Henderson is scheduled for sentencing Aug. 2 in front of Macomb County Circuit Court Judge Kathryn Viviano. “This guilty verdict marks a significant triumph for justice and a resounding message to sexual assault survivors that their voices will be heard,” Macomb County Prosecutor Peter Lucido said in a prepared statement. “It is our duty to fight for justice, to protect the vulnerable, and to hold perpetrators accountable for their reprehensible actions. This verdict is a step forward in creating a safer society, and we remain steadfast in our commitment to pursuing justice for all survivors.” Joshua Jones, Henderson’s attorney, declined to comment.

Customer attempts to use counterfeit money

SHELBY TOWNSHIP — Officers were dispatched to a convenience store in the 15000 block of 22 Mile Road, near Hayes Road, for a counterfeiting report at 8:15 p.m. June 10. An employee stated that someone had tried to pay using a counterfeit $20 bill. When the employee told the suspect that the bill was counterfeit, the suspect left the store. The clerk then went outside to take a photo of the suspect’s license plate, at which point the suspect slapped the cellphone out of the clerk’s hand. The suspect then fled in his vehicle. The detective bureau was investigating the incident.

Banned hospital patient returns

GROSSE POINTE CITY — A 50-year-old Detroit man was issued a trespassing ticket after police said he went to Corewell Health, Beaumont Grosse Pointe, on June 22, despite the fact that he had previously been banned from the hospital. However, a police report states that the suspect was accidentally scheduled for surgery at the hospital. Police were called to the hospital after the suspect refused to leave. He departed from the property after he was given the trespassing ticket, police said.
