A deadly domestic dispute shook Port Huron late last Wednesday night. Police say they responded to a home on 10th Avenue just after 11 and found a 23-year-old man shot in the stomach. Officers gave CPR until EMS rushed him to the hospital, where he later died. A 40-year-old woman was arrested and taken to the St. Clair County Jail. An 11-year-old child inside the home was not hurt. Detectives and the Michigan State Police Crime Lab are investigating. Anyone with info is urged to call Port Huron Police.

Port Huron Police have donated a patrol cruiser to kick off a new public safety program at the St. Clair County Technical Education Center. Starting this fall at Woodrow Wilson Elementary near the city’s Central Fire Station, the program will give high school juniors and seniors hands-on experience in law enforcement, firefighting, emergency response, and dispatch. The cruiser will serve as a “classroom on wheels,” teaching students vehicle inspection, communication systems, and law enforcement technology as they prepare for future public safety careers.

Sanilac County officials have approved participation in two national opioid settlements, securing funds to tackle local opioid issues. The county is set to receive about $238,000 over 15 years from Purdue Pharma and the Sackler family, and roughly $37,000 from a settlement with eight other drug manufacturers. The Board of Commissioners also approved posting three county jobs, including an IT Director, a part-time dispatcher, and a court clerk, as local departments prepare to fill key positions.

Port Huron–Sarnia border officers seized nearly 770 pounds of cocaine last month from two trucks trying to cross the Blue Water Bridge. The first seizure uncovered 331 pounds in six boxes, valued at $18.8 million. The second truck yielded 439 pounds, worth $24.9 million. Both drivers, from the Toronto area, were arrested by the RCMP and charged with importing and trafficking cocaine. Authorities say this is part of a larger effort, with more than 3,350 pounds seized from U.S.-bound trucks so far this year.
