The Port Huron woman accused of killing a man at a local gas station won’t face trial this month after all. Thirty-six-year-old Amber Oile’s April 15 trial is on hold while she undergoes a court‑ordered mental health evaluation. Prosecutors say Oile shot and killed 30‑year‑old Reginald Franklin last October during an argument at a Military Street gas station. Security video showed Oile pulling a gun on Franklin twice, firing several shots, and then shooting him in the head. She’s charged with open murder and remains held without bond in the St. Clair County Jail.

Local hunters and community members turned out in force last weekend for Aspire Rural Health System’s annual Hunting for Health event at Rooster Ranch. More than 95 people gathered for the two-day pheasant hunt to raise awareness and money for prostate cancer early detection. The event brought in over twenty-five thousand dollars. Those funds will help pay for free PSA screenings for uninsured men and provide five-hundred-dollar grants every six months to local patients in treatment. Organizers thanked title sponsor Ball Insurance Agency and congratulated raffle winners Cassandra Carr, Kathleen Moran, and Dr. Jessica Bennett.
