A 16-year-old Detroit boy faces possible adult charges after a deadly crash in Warren over a week ago. Police tried to stop a stolen car near I-94 and Gratiot, but the teen fled, leading officers on a chase onto I-696 and local roads. The chase ended when he ran a red light and crashed into a Ford driven by 28-year-old Madison Heights father Alex Habib, who later died at the hospital. The suspect was treated for minor injuries and taken to juvenile detention.

Early Sunday morning in Marlette Township, a Prescott man suffered serious injuries after his motorcycle hit a deer on Decker Road near Miller Road. The 46-year-old rider lost control when the animal suddenly crossed his path, causing him to be thrown into a roadside ditch. Emergency crews quickly responded, transporting him first to Marlette Regional Hospital, then by air to Hurley Medical Center in Flint. Authorities say neither speed nor alcohol played a role, and the rider was wearing a helmet at the time. Local towing helped clear the scene.

Kimball’s Nolan Mandel earned his third Major League Fishing victory in two seasons by winning the Phoenix Bass Fishing League tournament on the Detroit River last Saturday. Mandel’s five-bass catch weighed nearly 23 pounds, earning him $10,900 and the top spot in the Michigan Division standings. He started on Lake St. Clair but switched tactics after spotting bass near the bottom, using finesse lures for most of the day. The next Michigan Division event is July 26th in Trenton.

The old Central Fire Station in Port Huron is being cleared to make way for new housing, likely condominiums, after demolition finishes next week. City Manager James Freed says a land use study will wrap up by summer’s end to guide the project. The fire station, built 65 years ago and closed last August, was demolished due to outdated facilities. While the site is prepared for development, any sale or lease of the waterfront property will need a public vote, keeping community access intact.
