A longtime St. Clair County physician will spend the next 15 years in federal prison. Sixty‑two‑year‑old Robert Glapinski of Mussey Township was sentenced in Detroit after admitting to distributing child pornography. Investigators say Michigan State Police began looking into him last year after a national tip led to his Google account. Officers later found more than 3,000 illegal images and videos on his devices. Prosecutors say Glapinski’s actions fueled the abuse of children, while defense attorneys said he’s accepted responsibility for his crimes.

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.
