Christmas with a Cop

In Fort Gratiot Tuesday, St. Clair County Deputy William Hardziej helped three local kids shop for Christmas at Walmart, giving each $100 to spend on toys, games, and decorations. The kids picked out Legos, dinosaurs, Monster High dolls, and Star Wars toys while Hardziej kept watch and offered guidance. After shopping, families enjoyed pizza thanks to Walmart. The event, Christmas with a Cop, was sponsored by local businesses including Jeremy’s Automotive in Casco Township, ML Chartier in Fair Haven, and the St. Clair County Sheriff’s Office.

Delivery Driver Arrested

The St. Clair County Sheriff’s Office ended a string of break-ins last week after a delivery driver was caught targeting homes across several townships. Deputies arrested 32-year-old Deonte King of Redford on December 6 near Werner Road in Columbus Township after two more homes were hit the same day. Investigators recovered stolen valuables and linked them to earlier cases. King faces multiple felony home-invasion charges with a $200,000 bond. Sheriff Mat King says lock up, stay alert, and call 911 if you spot anything suspicious.
