Sanilac Township authorities shut down a dangerous THC extraction operation last week after discovering a home lab on Washington Road. The Sanilac County Drug Task Force, Sheriff’s Office, and Department of Human Services responded to check on children living at the home. Investigators found more than 260 pounds of raw marijuana and equipment used to extract THC with highly flammable butane. Firefighters assisted as trained officers safely dismantled the lab. A 38-year-old man and 33-year-old woman face charges.

In St. Clair County, a peaceful evening ride on the popular Wadhams to Avoca Trail turned deadly back in October. Two men, 68-year-old Alvis Miranda from Port Huron and 60-year-old Robert Barr from Kimball Township, got into a fight that ended with Miranda being stabbed. Miranda drove himself to the hospital without calling 911 right away, while Barr reported the incident to police after getting home. Miranda died from his injuries two weeks later. Last week, authorities arrested Barr on an open murder charge.

Mayor Anita Ashford called it a fresh start full of promise. Schreck thanked everyone for the support and promised to grow exhibits, programs, and events that celebrate Port Huron’s rich history.
