A 37-year-old Warren man is facing serious felony charges after police say he broke into eight churches across the city in less than three weeks. Officers say the suspect used a bicycle to ride up to the buildings, smashed windows or doors, rummaged through offices, and even tampered with security systems. Detectives spotted him on surveillance wearing the same distinctive clothes and riding the same bike. When they saw him leaving his Warren apartment dressed exactly like the suspect, they moved in. Bond is set at $800,000.

S.J. Organic Farms in Peck landed a big boost from the state. The Sanilac County business received nearly $99,000 through Michigan’s Last Food Mile grant program. The money will let them buy a refrigerated delivery vehicle so they can bring fresh organic produce, eggs, meat, and baked goods straight to local families. Customers in Marlette, Lexington, Port Huron, Davison, and Peck will have easier access to this nutritious food. This is one of only 21 projects funded statewide after more than 130 applications.

Port Huron Police say most local stores are doing their part to keep alcohol out of the hands of minors. On Tuesday, officers sent underage decoys into 31 licensed businesses in the city. Thirty of them refused to sell alcohol and passed the check. Only one store failed: the Kroger at 2907 Krafft Road. Police are praising the compliant businesses and reminding all sellers to always check IDs. This helps stop underage drinking before it starts.
