A St. Clair County woman has a warrant out for her arrest after missing a court date on robbery charges. Jessica Casper, 23, was due in Circuit Court for an unarmed robbery case and two misdemeanor charges, but she didn’t show up. Casper is accused of breaking into a Port Huron apartment on July 13th with two other women, assaulting the resident, and stealing nearly $1,000. Police say she was found with brass knuckles. Her $15,000 bond has been revoked, and she faces up to 15 years if convicted.

Port Huron will open a new satellite office on Sept. 15th at the Elger G. Harvey Re-investment Center on 24th Street. City Manager James Freed says the goal is to make city leaders more accessible and transparent for residents in the South Park area. Instead of housing specific departments, the space will host Freed and other officials for office hours a few times a week. Freed says this move was inspired by recent community pop-up events and will allow face-to-face conversations about local concerns.
