The Port Huron Police Major Crimes Unit and Michigan Corrections officers made surprise visits to 25 parolees across St. Clair County last Wednesday. Fifteen followed their release rules, but ten were caught violating parole. Two had warrants in Sanilac County and were arrested. Five had phones seized for suspected sexual material, one had drugs, and another was caught with guns and alcohol. Police say more charges could follow once evidence is reviewed by state investigators.

Services at the St. Clair County Teen Health Clinic on the Port Huron High School campus paused on Monday. County health officials say the move follows recent concerns discussed at a commissioners meeting. During the pause, students needing urgent care can visit the main Health Department at 220 Fort Street in Port Huron. Routine visits will be rescheduled. Health leaders, including Dr. Remington Nevin, say the break allows time for a full review to make sure all services meet safety and legal standards before reopening.

Crews started rebuilding the Arnold Road bridge over Meldrum Creek in Ira Township on Monday. The $1.05 million project will replace the old bridge with an aluminum culvert and upgrade drainage, guardrails, and pavement. Local traffic and emergency access will stay open, but drivers won’t be able to cross the creek until work wraps up. The St. Clair County Road Commission and other agencies are funding the project, with M.L. Chartier Excavating handling construction. The bridge is expected to reopen by May 19th, weather permitting.
