In Port Huron, a woman charged with killing her boyfriend is getting a new public defender. Forty-year-old Jennifer Goodall was arrested last September after police say she shot 23-year-old Chase Hoyt during a fight at their 10th Avenue home. Her two public defenders asked to step down, citing a breakdown in communication. The St. Clair County Public Defender’s Office will still handle the case, now with Assistant Chief Public Defender Frederick Lepley taking over. Goodall faces first-degree murder charges, with her jury trial set for August 4th.

The St. Clair County Sheriff’s Office is warning residents about a wave of new scams hitting the area. Some people have gotten postcards promising “unclaimed rewards” of over $100 — but it’s a trick to steal credit card or banking info. Teens are also being targeted with fake, AI‑generated nude photos and threats for payment, sometimes in Bitcoin. And with tax season here, scammers posing as the IRS are pressuring people to pay through calls or texts. Deputies urge everyone to verify the source, and report any suspicious messages.

Sarnia-Lambton business leaders took their message to Washington, D.C. this week, joining an Ontario Chamber of Commerce mission to push for stronger cross-border trade ahead of the CUSMA review. The delegation met U.S. lawmakers, business groups, and Canada’s ambassador to stress the need for tariff-free trade and stable supply chains. Local industries—especially energy, manufacturing, and agriculture—depend on that stability. Chamber CEO Carrie McEachran says disruptions at the border hit Sarnia-Lambton jobs directly, and cooperation remains key to the region’s growth.
