In Clyde Township, a 48‑year‑old woman is facing serious animal‑cruelty charges after investigators say they found more than 200 animals on her McIntyre Road property — many already dead. County Animal Control says ducks, geese, chickens, and goats were starving, living without water or shelter, and even trapped in overheated bins. Officers also found piles of animal carcasses in wagons and barns. Connie Wonner was charged with multiple felonies and misdemeanors. She’s due back in St. Clair County court today, with bond set at five thousand dollars.

A Richmond school board member is facing criticism for serving overseas. Raymond Stier, a longtime Air National Guard veteran who manages military funerals across Michigan and Ohio, deployed late last year after planning around a family event. During a March meeting, some board members said his absence hurt the district and suggested he should have stepped down. His wife, Amy Stier, pushed back, saying voters knew about his military service and that he stays involved remotely when possible. She says the board is split over his status.
