Port Huron police are seeking help finding 55-year-old Samuel Serra, who has been missing for a while. Serra, a 5’7″, 255-pound man with brown hair and eyes, was last in contact with family in December. He previously lived on 15th Street in Port Huron but no longer does. Authorities believe he may be in Macomb, driving a red Chevrolet Monte Carlo with plate 61ACR3. Anyone with information should contact the Port Huron Police Department or use the anonymous C.A.P.T.U.R.E. tip line.

Two people were arrested in connection to the January 28 homicide of 35-year-old Vincent Buckles in Port Huron. On February 12, U.S. Marshals, acting on tips from the Port Huron Major Crimes Unit, arrested a 22-year-old man near Atlanta, Georgia. He’s awaiting extradition to Michigan and faces charges in a double homicide in Detroit from December. The same day, a 36-year-old woman, who had been released earlier in the investigation, was arrested in Lincoln Park. She’s now in St. Clair County Jail.

Port Huron’s plans to fix the Black River Canal and Tainter gate are on hold until nearly $5 million in funding is secured. City Manager James Freed says initial estimates were around $1 million, but costs have skyrocketed due to bureaucratic delays. Attempts to get funding from Port Huron and Fort Gratiot townships fell through, so Freed is now looking to the state legislature for help. The Tainter gate, damaged in last winter’s ice jam, remains closed, blocking boat traffic to Lake Huron.
