A major drug bust across St. Clair and Sanilac Counties has taken more than 300 grams of meth off the streets. After weeks of investigation and anonymous tips, the St. Clair County Drug Task Force, with help from a K9 unit, raided two homes — one on Kipling Road in Lexington and another on Lakeshore Road in Burtchville. Two suspects, 44-year-old Danielle Mahosky and Eugene Kotelman, were arrested. Both face multiple felony drug charges, and each is being held on a fifty-thousand-dollar bond.

A Kimball Township man accused of fatally stabbing another man on the Wadhams-to-Avoca Trail will face trial. A judge ruled Wednesday there’s enough evidence against 41-year-old Robert Barr, charged with open murder for the October ’25 death of 68-year-old Alvis Miranda. Prosecutors showed Barr’s own GoPro video that captured an argument turning violent. Witnesses and deputies testified Barr stabbed Miranda during that fight. Barr remains in the St. Clair County Jail on a half-million-dollar bond, awaiting his first circuit court date.
