Teen Confronts Years of Online Impersonation

A teenager from Macomb County is finally speaking out after years of online harassment. 19-year-old DJ Phillips says a girl began posing as him on social media, using his photos and videos to spread lies and start fake relationships. The impersonation lasted three years — fueling rumors, bullying, and even physical confrontations. In court, DJ said the ordeal shattered his confidence, cost him friends, and nearly drove him to suicide. DJ told the judge the damage to his reputation still follows him today, even at Michigan State University.

Services at the St. Clair County Teen Health Clinic on the Port Huron High School campus paused on Monday. County health officials say the move follows recent concerns discussed at a commissioners meeting. During the pause, students needing urgent care can visit the main Health Department at 220 Fort Street in Port Huron. Routine visits will be rescheduled. Health leaders, including Dr. Remington Nevin, say the break allows time for a full review to make sure all services meet safety and legal standards before reopening.

Arnold Road Bridge Work

Crews started rebuilding the Arnold Road bridge over Meldrum Creek in Ira Township on Monday. The $1.05 million project will replace the old bridge with an aluminum culvert and upgrade drainage, guardrails, and pavement. Local traffic and emergency access will stay open, but drivers won’t be able to cross the creek until work wraps up. The St. Clair County Road Commission and other agencies are funding the project, with M.L. Chartier Excavating handling construction. The bridge is expected to reopen by May 19th, weather permitting.
