Man Faces Multiple Felony Charges

Police in Port Huron charged a 20-year-old man with several felonies after investigators say they found child sexual abuse material on his phone. Officers began looking into Edison Dihn Tran after a tip from Boyne City Police last September. Detectives say a search turned up multiple illegal images, and Tran later admitted asking underage girls online for nude photos. He was arraigned March 3rd and released on a $2,500 bond. Tran faces up to 20 years in prison if convicted. His next court hearing is March 24th.

County Greenlights Recall Petitions

The Sanilac County Election Commission has signed off on recall petitions targeting Worth Township’s clerk and treasurer. Local resident Elizabeth Wineka filed the petitions, claiming Clerk Jennifer Marshall and Treasurer Jennifer Woodruff failed to perform their basic duties. Marshall attended Wednesday’s hearing but didn’t comment, while Woodruff was absent. The commission — made up of Judge Greg Ross, Clerk Leslie Hilgendorf, and Treasurer Trudy Bowers — unanimously approved the wording. Both officials have ten days to appeal before signature gathering can begin across Worth Township.
