In nearby Fort Gratiot Township, authorities say a 55-year-old man took his own life Thursday as deputies arrived to arrest him on a criminal sexual conduct warrant. The St. Clair County Sheriff’s Office says detectives got to the home on Carrigan Road just before 12:30 p.m. and heard a gunshot as they approached. The man was found inside with a self-inflicted wound and later died. Investigators also found a device that looked like a homemade bomb, but it turned out to be a realistic fake. No one else was hurt.
