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.

The Sanilac County Election Commission has signed off on recall petitions targeting Worth Township’s clerk and treasurer. Local resident Elizabeth Wineka filed the petitions, claiming Clerk Jennifer Marshall and Treasurer Jennifer Woodruff failed to perform their basic duties. Marshall attended Wednesday’s hearing but didn’t comment, while Woodruff was absent. The commission — made up of Judge Greg Ross, Clerk Leslie Hilgendorf, and Treasurer Trudy Bowers — unanimously approved the wording. Both officials have ten days to appeal before signature gathering can begin across Worth Township.
