Port Huron Township authorities concluded a drug investigation last week on West Water Street. The St. Clair County Drug Task Force arrested 50-year-old Kimbereley Parker after discovering methamphetamine in her possession. A search of her home uncovered a larger stash of meth, digital scales, and drug paraphernalia. Parker was arraigned in 72nd District Court on November 2nd and faces felony charges for possession of a controlled substance. Her bond is set at $25,000 cash or surety, and the investigation highlights ongoing efforts to combat local narcotics sales.

A St. Clair County judge on Friday denied two defense motions in the Matthew Maison murder case. Maurice Houle’s attorney sought to dismiss the murder charge and block evidence from an ’18 search, but the court rejected both. The ruling follows a plea deal by Houle’s ex, Amanda Maison, who admitted to second-degree murder and covering up abuse. Prosecutors say evidence, including injuries and blood on a pillow, shows Matthew’s death in Port Huron Township was not accidental. Houle’s next hearings are in December and February, with felony murder carrying up to life in prison.
