Arson Case Restarts

A Tuscola County arson case is starting over as the county’s top prosecutor prepares to leave office. Prosecutor Erica Walle has announced she will resign October 25th. Forty-one-year-old Amanda Mecomber of the Unionville area appeared in district court in Caro on a new charge of burning an insured home in March 2024. Judge Jason Bitzer tossed the first charges in August because of Walle’s dating relationship with the detective on the case. The St. Clair County Prosecutor’s Office has taken over, and Bitzer set bond at $100,000 cash.
