A Marysville-area man who was already on parole is facing new drug charges after a raid at a Busha Highway home. The St. Clair County Drug Task Force searched the property Tuesday as part of an ongoing investigation into local drug sales. Investigators say they found what they call a dealer-level amount of crystal meth, along with digital scales and packaging materials. Fifty-year-old Jason Durham was arraigned Thursday on three felony charges, including maintaining a drug house, and his bond is set at 50-thousand dollars.

A Port Huron teacher’s love of hockey put about 20 Woodland Developmental Center students on skates, many for the first time. Special education teacher Mark Morley pitched the idea, and players from the Port Huron Prowlers and St. Clair County Community College hockey team helped them skate at McMorran Place on Thursday. The students, ages 18 to 26, are part of Woodland’s transition program, which builds life skills and independence. School leaders hope to plan more skating trips, since other students and staff want to join.
