    Mayor Accuses City Manager of Hacking | Detroit News

    In a shocking twist from Port Huron, Michigan, Mayor Anita Ashford accuses City Manager James Freed of hacking her accounts, reading her emails, and even sending messages on her behalf—while also implicating City Clerk Cyndee Jonseck. Though the city attorney’s office found no evidence to back up the claims, Ashford remains convinced her communications are being compromised, sparking tension within city leadership and raising urgent questions about trust, accountability, and digital security in local government.

    Mayor Accuses City Manager of Email Hacking | Detroit News

    In a bizarre city scandal, Port Huron mayor Anita Ashford accused her own city manager, James Freed, of hacking into her emails—so much so she switched to three different phones. The investigation found no evidence of hacking, calling her claims misunderstandings and tech ignorance. Freed said she was trying to smear him, while she doubled down, insisting he’s still spying. Even staff like the IT director and city clerk were wrongly accused, though they denied any involvement. It’s a tale of paranoia, miscommunication, and shattered trust in local government.

    Dearborn Faces Hate, Holds Unity | Detroit News

    Dearborn braces for a volatile showdown as a far-right activist, pardoned and linked to January 6, plans a “Christian Crusade March” targeting the Muslim community. Police and CAIR urge residents to avoid the city council meeting, which has been relocated for safety. In contrast, Christian leaders and Mayor Abdullah Hammoud stand united in defense of Dearborn’s legacy of interfaith harmony, warning that divisive rhetoric—especially with a Muslim Senate candidate on the ballot—could escalate tensions during election season. The city is walking a tightrope: protecting its people while fiercely defending its identity as a beacon of unity.

    Woodward Cruise Safety Challenges | Detroit News

    Woodward Dream Cruise drew over a million fans and 40,000 cars—mostly safe, but with more trouble than usual: fights, burnouts, and speeding forced extra police presence. A wild bar brawl in Royal Oak led to eight arrests, but chaos was quickly contained. Sheriff Michael Bouchard warned that street stunts on crowded Woodward are dangerous—and not the vibe they’re going for. Only two minor crashes, no serious injuries. Despite the hiccups, he called it a huge success: a celebration of cars and community, where safety still trumps speed.

    Unlicensed Facility Fire Claims Three Lives | Detroit News

    A horrific house fire in Redford Township claimed three lives early Saturday, sparking outrage and confusion after authorities initially misidentified the site as an adult foster care facility — a claim later disproven by state records. The unlicensed home, reportedly housing individuals with special needs, burned fiercely while two residents escaped. Neighbors and one survivor’s family voiced shock and grief, while investigators scramble to determine the cause and how such an operation could exist without oversight. This tragedy has ignited urgent questions about safety, regulation, and accountability in community care. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

    Sumpter Police Survival on the Line | Detroit News

    Sumpter Township’s police department is on the brink—voters must decide in November whether to approve a millage increase that failed in August, or risk losing nearly half their funding and potentially shutting down entirely. Chief Eric Luke warns that without this vote, the department can’t absorb such a massive cut and will be forced to drastically scale back services. With 99% of local property taxes already funding Wayne County, Luke urges residents to prioritize home and family safety over other expenses. The proposed increase would add two mills (totaling five) and cost homeowners about $250 more annually. While landfill royalties make up the rest of their budget, those funds have stagnated while costs soar. Luke believes the August rejection was due to tax fatigue—not distrust—and hopes voters will recognize the urgency to keep their community safe.

    Tigers' Bullpen Crisis Threatens Playoff Hopes | Detroit News

    Detroit Tigers are clinging to a wild card playoff spot despite trading key players for future prospects — and it’s their shaky bullpen that’s costing them. After letting go of talent, they’ve struggled mightily in late-inning relief, surrendering eight runs in three games against the White Sox and ranking among the worst in MLB at protecting leads. With offense heating up, the bullpen’s inconsistency could derail their postseason dreams — unless they find a way to stabilize those late innings fast.

    The Lions are heating up as they gear for their second preseason game against the Commanders at Ford Field, with roster spots on the line and Coach Campbell demanding pure performance. After a sloppy loss to the Bengals, the team is focused on fixing penalties and drops—especially on third downs—to prove their dependability.

    Gas Prices Soar Across Michigan | Detroit News

    Gas prices in Michigan are hitting new highs, with the average gallon now at $4.27—up 12 cents in a week and $1.13 from last year. Nationwide, prices are also climbing, fueled by rising oil costs, Middle East tensions, and attacks on Russian refineries. Diesel is even more expensive, and while winter-blend gas may offer slight relief, underlying pressures show no sign of easing. Despite falling demand and production, prices keep rising—with Detroit stations ranging from $3.67 to a shocking $5.94. Experts say simple habits like carpooling, inflating tires, and comparing stations can help ease the burden. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

    Apple AirTags Stalking Lawsuit | Detroit News

    Apple is facing a major lawsuit in Michigan over its AirTags, accused of knowingly enabling stalking through the devices without adequate safeguards. Two plaintiffs—one from Birmingham, another from Madison Heights—claim former partners used hidden AirTags to track them, leading to invasive and frightening behavior. The suit alleges Apple received over 40,000 stalking-related reports within just three months of launch, despite claiming AirTags were designed to prevent misuse. While Apple touts encrypted data and alert systems, plaintiffs argue these features weren’t enough to stop abuse. They’re seeking accountability under Michigan’s Consumer Protection Act, demanding Apple halt what they call unfair and deceptive practices.

    Trump Halts Korea Drills Amid Denuclearization Tensions | Detroit News

    Trump’s surprise order to slash joint U.S.-South Korea military drills stirs global concern, framing them as costly and counterproductive amid his claim North Korea is now “unthreatening.” While he insists the move isn’t tied to Seoul’s refusal to join Iran denuclearization talks, experts warn it could embolden Pyongyang — which routinely weaponizes such exercises as a pretext for escalating its own arms programs. The Pentagon sees these drills as vital to regional stability and alliance strength, but Trump’s repeated criticism echoes past calls to halt what he deems provocative and wasteful maneuvers.

    Preseason Preview: Lions Depth on Display | Detroit News

    The Lions’ preseason opener against the Bengals ended in a 16-14 loss, but it was all about roster evaluation—not the score. Starters sat out, spotlighting depth and competition. Coach Dan Campbell called the offense sloppy, citing drops and penalties—especially on third downs—as key areas to fix quickly. On the bright side, defensive end Ahmed Hassanein returned strong with two sacks, including one on Burrow, while RB Jacob Saylors led in yards and looked like a breakout threat. But receiver Isaac TeSlaa struggled without a catch and even lost an interception. The team also racked up nine penalties for 84 yards and converted just 4 of 11 third downs. Still, rookies shined: QB Luke Altmyer flashed potential, OL Blake Miller held his own against starters, and CB Keith Abney II made solid plays, showing promise at a critical position.

The owner, Lucie Ptazsnik, fiercely denies the claims, citing a recent vet check that found all horses healthy and pointing to inconsistencies in online photos. She accuses authorities of a personal vendetta and “witch hunt,” while animal control insists their investigation, supported by witnesses and on-site vets, was thorough and justified. The seized horses are now at Horses Haven for rehabilitation, and prosecutors will review the case once the investigation concludes.

    County Aims to Stop Opioid Crisis Early | Detroit News

    Livingston County is considering a bold new plan to fight the opioid crisis among its employees and families, partnering with Opioid Free America to analyze de-identified prescription data for early signs of addiction—aiming to intervene before routine prescriptions turn into dependency. While HIPAA-compliant and distinct in its analytical approach, critics note Michigan already has MAPS tracking controlled substances, raising questions about whether this initiative adds real value or simply duplicates existing efforts. Still, supporters argue it’s crucial for catching addiction at its earliest stage, especially since many cases begin with legitimate doctor-prescribed opioids. The resolution is pending approval by the county board as part of an ongoing effort to protect public health through proactive prevention.

    Second Chance for Warehouse Owner | Detroit News

    A deadly warehouse explosion that killed 19-year-old Turner Lee Salter in March 2024 has reignited legal proceedings against business owner Noor Kestou. Prosecutors are seeking a second preliminary exam — presided over by the same judge who ruled the first was flawed — to determine if Kestou should face trial for involuntary manslaughter. The case hinges on whether storing hazardous materials like nitrous oxide and butane without proper safety measures constitutes criminal negligence, even as investigators remain uncertain about the fire’s origin. Defense attorneys argue the prosecution hasn’t proven the materials were inherently explosive or how they interacted. Meanwhile, cleanup costs topped $1.6 million, with thousands of cylinders and lithium-ion batteries recycled. This pivotal hearing could decide whether Kestou is held legally responsible for a tragedy that shook the community.

    Trustee Accused of Hidden Cameras | Detroit News

    West Bloomfield Township is reeling after Trustee Jim Manna was arrested for allegedly planting hidden cameras in his stepdaughters’ rooms and bathrooms, with over thirty explicit videos found on his phone. Though he’s posted bond and skipped the latest board meeting, residents flooded the public forum demanding his resignation — a sentiment echoed by Supervisor Jonathan Warshay, who admits Manna should step down but notes the board lacks legal authority to force it. Under Michigan law, Manna can stay in office unless convicted or he resigns — leaving the community in limbo as they await his decision, with potential replacement procedures kicking in if he steps aside.

    Dearborn Prepares for Anti-Muslim Activist | Detroit News

    Dearborn city officials scrambled this week to brace for a fiery appearance by anti-Muslim activist Jake Lang, relocating the council meeting and deploying extra security—moves that underscore a rising tide of hate fueled by online extremism and financial incentives. Faith leaders and officials united in a defiant message: outside agitators won’t divide their diverse community, which includes mosques and churches side-by-side. Threatening voicemails targeting residents and even the police chief have intensified fears, while a recent arrest of an Alaska man for death threats against the mayor proves the danger is real. The mayor pushed back against media stereotypes, reminding everyone Dearborn is a tapestry of faiths—not a political pawn. Police urge bystanders to stay away from the meeting, emphasizing that silence and unity are the best weapons against hate.

    Tylenol’s Hidden Liver Risk | Detroit News

    Liver damage from meds like acetaminophen has skyrocketed 400% in 25 years—mostly due to accidental overdosing from mixing OTC drugs. Your liver filters everything you ingest, and when overloaded, it fails. Tylenol is safe when used correctly, but it’s hidden in countless products. Don’t assume “over-the-counter” means harmless. Prevention is simple: always read labels, follow dosing, and consult a pharmacist or doctor if unsure. One small step can save your liver.

    Sloan’s Secret Confessions in Cold Case | Detroit News

    A chilling cold case from the 1970s takes a haunting turn as Arch Edward Sloan, already serving time for rape and with a decades-long sex crime history, dies at 84—just as new whispers emerge from his prison cell. Inmates say he was called “The Oakland County Child Killer” and hinted at involvement in the unsolved murders, even showing a picture of a Bonneville car and talking about burying one up north. His final meeting with detectives yielded cryptic info, no confession. Whateley, now free, insists Sloan’s obsession with “Dance Moms” and references to buried cars are too telling to ignore. Though DNA didn’t match hairs found in his car, authorities are pushing forward with new tech to solve this decades-old tragedy—and Whateley hopes justice finally arrives for the families still waiting.
