Clyde Township Woman Charged

In Clyde Township, a 48‑year‑old woman is facing serious animal‑cruelty charges after investigators say they found more than 200 animals on her McIntyre Road property — many already dead. County Animal Control says ducks, geese, chickens, and goats were starving, living without water or shelter, and even trapped in overheated bins. Officers also found piles of animal carcasses in wagons and barns. Connie Wonner was charged with multiple felonies and misdemeanors. She’s due back in St. Clair County court today, with bond set at five thousand dollars.

Sheriff Warns Residents of New Scams

The St. Clair County Sheriff’s Office is warning residents about a wave of new scams hitting the area. Some people have gotten postcards promising “unclaimed rewards” of over $100 — but it’s a trick to steal credit card or banking info. Teens are also being targeted with fake, AI‑generated nude photos and threats for payment, sometimes in Bitcoin. And with tax season here, scammers posing as the IRS are pressuring people to pay through calls or texts. Deputies urge everyone to verify the source, and report any suspicious messages.
