A road rage argument that started on I-69 ended in gunfire on M-53 near Imlay City, and police say the shooter is now behind bars. 34-year-old Shaun Wagner of Peck fired at least one shot into a victim’s vehicle during a dispute last Wednesday, with the bullet lodging in a seat after tearing through the rear window. A search of Wagner’s home turned up the weapon along with more guns and ammo. He was later arrested in Battle Creek and now faces four felonies, including assault with intent to murder.

Sarnia’s air is set to get cleaner, but the St. Clair River could take in a new kind of discharge. Imperial Oil’s new scrubber at its Christina Street refinery is expected to keep nearly 5,700 tonnes of sulphur dioxide out of the air each year. Capturing that pollution creates wastewater, and Imperial is asking Ontario for approval to treat and release up to 219 million litres of it into the river annually. The province has not yet decided whether to approve the plan.

Port Huron’s Night and Day sculptures at McMorran Plaza have their original green look back. About 24 people braved the drizzle Thursday to celebrate the $35,000 restoration, which also brought new lighting and fountain upgrades. A Detroit-area conservator stripped the uneven patina and applied a fresh green finish that officials say matches sculptor Marshall Fredericks’ original vision. The Night and Day Ball fundraiser paid for all of it. The sculptures will need rewaxing every couple of years.
