The civil lawsuit against former Yale Chamber treasurer Kellie Lauwers is moving forward after a six-month pause. A St. Clair County judge delayed the case while state police finished a criminal probe. That review has now been sent to the Attorney General. The chamber claims Lauwers secretly wrote checks to herself, forged signatures, and edited profit and loss sheets to hide more than $32,000 over two years. She allegedly admitted wrongdoing but offered no repayment. A status hearing is set for November 19th in Port Huron.

Marysville police say fraud scams are spiking in town and seniors are being targeted. Officers stopped a crew last Tuesday that tried to trick a local couple with a fake concrete job near the RESA campus on Range Road. One person was arrested and released as charges are prepared. Police say the group has a multi-state crime history. Residents are urged to only hire reputable companies and to report suspicious activity or fraud to Marysville Police at 810-364-6300.
