Port Huron Township man Ethan Morgan was resentenced Monday for sharing child sexual abuse material online. Judge Daniel Damman reduced Morgan’s minimum prison term from 18 to 16 months but kept the maximum at seven-and-a-half years. Damman noted Morgan had a troubled childhood, moving 19 times before age 18 with little supervision, but said that didn’t excuse his crimes. Morgan, arrested in September of ’24, has already served 14 months and must register as a sex offender for 25 years after release.

Port Huron residents are learning more about a dangerous late night chase that started on Lapeer Road and stretched through St. Clair and Sanilac counties. Deputies say a Port Huron woman sped off during a traffic stop, swerving into oncoming lanes and pushing through three townships before crashing into a tree behind Zimmer Auto Sales in Worth Township. She was treated at McLaren Port Huron and jailed. Officials say the car wasn’t registered or insured. The 39-year-old now faces multiple felony and misdemeanor charges, and a judge has denied bond.

The Sandusky Community Schools Board voted to expand its School Resource Officer program while rejecting a new state funding offer. Superintendent Kurt Dennis said the $125-per-student grant could force the district to give up legal protections if a “mass casualty” occurred, putting the district at risk of lawsuits. Dennis assured families that safety upgrades, camera improvements, and mental health supports will continue using district funds. He stressed protecting students and staff legally is more important than accepting money with risky conditions.
