A father is behind bars after deputies say he pulled a gun during a custody exchange in Mount Clemens. The Macomb County Sheriff’s Office says 33-year-old Daronta Williamson argued with his child’s mother last week before assaulting her and threatening to shoot. He later fired shots on Michigan Avenue before being arrested without incident at Station 68. A loaded handgun was recovered. Williamson faces multiple felony charges, including assault with intent to murder. His bond is set at $100,000 with GPS monitoring required.

In Port Huron, recall efforts are targeting Council Members Sherry Archibald and Teri Lamb after their votes changed how the public can speak at city meetings. The petitions cleared a clarity hearing on March 6, meaning signature drives can begin. The changes separate local and non-local speakers and set sign-up rules for public comment. Archibald and Lamb both say they won’t appeal the decision— Organizers have until July 31 to gather 2,427 valid signatures to make the November ballot.

Thousands of tundra swans have touched down near Thedford Bog, marking the return of spring to Lambton County. Each year, the birds travel nearly 6,000 kilometers between Chesapeake Bay and the Arctic, using the wetlands behind the Lambton Heritage Museum as a rest stop. On busy days, up to 15,000 swans can be seen feeding in the fields. Locals can track daily migration updates at returnoftheswans.com or call the museum for viewing times. The museum’s “Return of the Swans” exhibit runs through April 4th.
