Local 4-H members are helping fill food pantry shelves across the region. The Rustic Ramblers 4-H Club sorted and delivered 4,500 pounds of locally raised meat to area food pantries last week, part of an annual effort that’s now donated nearly 25,000 pounds since ’19. The meat reached 16 pantries plus a Port Huron nutrition program. Organizers say the club raises funds year-round through flower sales, bowling nights and golf outings to buy animals at the county livestock auction for processing and donation.

Lapeer Police say a man’s claim of being stabbed at Rowden Park turned out to be a hoax. Officers rushed to the Main Street park Sunday night after the man reported being stabbed in the abdomen. He was rushed into surgery at McLaren Lapeer Region Hospital and is expected to recover. But investigators say the wound was self-inflicted during an unrelated crime at a local business, not the park. Devin Bruce Dix, 23, was arraigned Tuesday on false report, child abuse, and retail fraud charges.

Port Huron police say a young e-bike rider is recovering after admitting he “risked it” and blew through an intersection without stopping. Officers say the 20-year-old was cruising the sidewalk on Pine Grove Avenue near 23 mph Sunday afternoon when he shot into the crossing at Prospect Place and collided with a Jeep, ending up pinned beneath it. Crews freed him and rushed him to McLaren Port Huron, where he was treated and released. Police now say the case is a reminder: intersections aren’t optional, even on two wheels.
