A major drug bust at the Blue Water Bridge near Sarnia, has customs officers talking. The Canadian Border Services Agency says officers stopped a truck coming from the U.S. on February 4th. After a second inspection, detector dogs uncovered 16 duffle bags packed with meth — about 587 pounds total. The driver, 29-year-old Kulbir Singh of Woodstock faces charges for importing and trafficking methamphetamine. Since January, border officers have seized more than 600 kilograms of meth before it reached Canadian streets.

Forty-year-old Jennifer Goodall is charged with open murder after police say she shot 23-year-old Chase Hoyt during a domestic dispute at their 10th Avenue home last fall. Responders couldn’t save Hoyt at the scene. Goodall was heard admitting to the shooting in a 911 call. Her trial, once set for March 3, is now scheduled for August 4, with a plea hearing in late July. The delay allows time for state police to finish a blood pattern analysis critical to the case.

A Columbus Township man charged with killing his former boss in Almont is planning to use an insanity defense. Thirty-two-year-old William Channer the Third is accused of shooting Logan Welch at Trims Unlimited last November after reportedly being laid off. His attorney filed notice with the Lapeer County Court earlier this month, meaning Channer must now undergo a psychiatric evaluation. Prosecutors say he fled after the shooting and was caught later following a chase. Channer remains in jail without bond, facing a possible life sentence if convicted.
