In Port Huron, a woman known for recording police interactions is suing an officer, claiming he violated her constitutional rights. Crystal Manke filed a federal lawsuit against Officer Tristan Shoudy, saying he arrested her last year while she filmed him on patrol. The city says the arrest happened on federal railroad property and defends Shoudy’s actions. City Manager James Freed called Manke’s claims false and accused her of stalking officers. The department says it’s now investigating her conduct while standing by Shoudy.

A Kimball Township man accused of fatally stabbing another man on the Wadhams-to-Avoca Trail will face trial. A judge ruled Wednesday there’s enough evidence against 41-year-old Robert Barr, charged with open murder for the October ’25 death of 68-year-old Alvis Miranda. Prosecutors showed Barr’s own GoPro video that captured an argument turning violent. Witnesses and deputies testified Barr stabbed Miranda during that fight. Barr remains in the St. Clair County Jail on a half-million-dollar bond, awaiting his first circuit court date.

Lambton County has launched a $1.5 million fundraising drive to enhance a new dementia care project at Lambton Meadowview Villa in Petrolia. The twelve-bed “small house” addition, already under construction, is set to open this December. It’s designed like a home, not a facility—private rooms, shared living spaces, and familiar caregivers focused on comfort and independence. The campaign will restore scaled-back features such as garden spaces, adaptive furniture, and safety technology, aiming to make the site a provincial first in dementia-focused small-house care.
