Six men across Macomb County are facing felony charges for failing to pay child support they legally owe, with debts between 7 thousand and nearly 36 thousand dollars. Macomb County Prosecutor Pete Lucido says his office is cracking down on parents who can pay but refuse, prioritizing cases over 5 thousand dollars in back support. The six defendants—from Leonard, Dearborn Heights, Warren, Roseville, and St. Clair Shores—were all arraigned in late August after repeated court hearings and bench warrants failed to bring them into compliance.
