Deputies in Port Huron Township are investigating after a welfare check turned tragic. On March 26, officers were called to a home on the 2600 block of 24th Street when a man didn’t show up for work. After getting no response at the door, deputies forced entry and found evidence of a recent fire in the kitchen and living room. Inside, 61-year-old Robert Baker was found dead. Investigators say there’s no sign of foul play, but the Sheriff’s Office and Fire Department are still looking into what caused the fire.

In Millington, police say a false bomb threat at Millington Community Schools Thursday morning turned out to be a hoax. The call came in around 10:46 a.m., prompting a full lockdown and heavy police presence, including deputies from the Tuscola County Sheriff’s Office and a bomb-sniffing dog. Officers swept the buildings and found no danger. The lockdown was lifted once everything was cleared. Investigators say this was a “swatting” incident — a fake emergency meant to trigger a police response. Police continue to investigate who made the call.

A major drug bust across St. Clair and Sanilac Counties has taken more than 300 grams of meth off the streets. After weeks of investigation and anonymous tips, the St. Clair County Drug Task Force, with help from a K9 unit, raided two homes — one on Kipling Road in Lexington and another on Lakeshore Road in Burtchville. Two suspects, 44-year-old Danielle Mahosky and Eugene Kotelman, were arrested. Both face multiple felony drug charges, and each is being held on a fifty-thousand-dollar bond.
