Judge Who Shamed Cancer-Stricken Man Over Lawn Apologizes

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Michigan judge who berated a cancer patient for overgrown weeds outside his home has apologized, saying she’s “very embarrassed” by her actions in court.

Hamtramck District Court Judge Alexis Krot has admitted that she went too far after she ridiculed Burhan Chowdhury, 72, during a hearing on Jan. 10.

“I made a mistake,” Krot said in a statement Tuesday. “I acted intemperately. I’m very embarrassed that I did so. I apologize to the person who appeared before me and to our entire community for having failed to meet the high standards that we expect of our judicial officers, and that I expect of myself.”

Krot said she reported herself to a state commission that looks into judicial misconduct. Footage of the proceeding when the irate judge ordered Chowdhury to pay a $100 fine went viral last week.

“I had no legal duty to report myself to the commission,” she said. “But I did so because, like apologizing to the community, it was the right thing to do. I will continue to hold myself to the standards I set for others.” (Read more from “Judge Who Shamed Cancer-Stricken Man Over Lawn Apologizes” HERE)

School Shooting Suspect and Parents Held at Same Facility on Suicide Watch

/0 Comments/in , /by

Ethan Crumbley, the 15-year-old accused of fatally shooting four classmates in Michigan, and his parents are being held in the same facility, with all three on suicide watch.

James and Jennifer Crumbley and their son are being held at Oakland County Jail in Pontiac, Michigan, and being checked on “multiple times an hour” to prevent suicide, Oakland Country Sheriff Michael Bouchard said Saturday. The three do not have contact with each other, he added.

Ethan Crumbley does not know that his parents, apprehended early Saturday after a manhunt, are also in custody.

“He wouldn’t have been made aware that we were searching for his parents since he’s in isolation, and it’s not like we have a TV clicker in his hands,” Bouchard said. (Read more from “School Shooting Suspect and Parents Held at Same Facility on Suicide Watch” HERE)

Report: School Shooter’s Neighbor Warned Authorities About Parents’ Neglect

/0 Comments/in , /by

A neighbor of accused Michigan high school shooter Ethan Crumbley says she warned authorities about his parents’ alleged neglect of him before last week’s slaughter, a new report reveals.

Kayla LeMieux, who lives near Ethan and his parents, James and Jennifer Crumbley, said she alerted child-abuse authorities that the pair would leave their son — then 8 or 9 years old — home alone while they went out bar-hopping, according to a report in the Detroit Free Press.

“When they were gone, he would come knock on our door,” LeMieux, 28, told the outlet. “They didn’t leave him with a phone.”

LeMieux said she notified Child Protective Services but doesn’t know if they took action — noting that the alleged neglect continued.

“It was really when I finally started to say more, because I was just like, even after calling CPS, they were still doing it and even me saying something to them, they were still like, ‘Oh, he is fine,’ ” she said.

Michigan School Shooting Suspect Charged With Terrorism, Murder; 4 Students Dead

/0 Comments/in , /by

Oakland County Prosecutor Karen McDonald announced that Ethan Crumbley, the 15-year-old suspect in the Michigan school shooting, will be charged as an adult with one count of terrorism causing death, four counts of first-degree murder, seven counts of assault with intent to murder, and 12 counts of possession of a firearm in the commission of a felony.

The suspect will be charged as an adult, McDonald said.

“There are crimes that the legislature said that are so serious, that a person who commits them can automatically be charged as an adult. First Degree Murder is the most serious of all those crimes. Second, there are facts leading up to the shooting that suggests this was not just an impulsive act,” McDonald said, who noted those facts “are not appropriate for discussion” at this time. . .

Four students died due to the shooting. Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard identified three of the students on Tuesday as 16-year-old Tate Myre, 14-year-old Hana St. Juliana, and 17-year-old Madisyn Baldwin. . .

The fourth student died on Wednesday morning and was identified as 15-year-old Justin Shilling. McDonald clarified at the press conference that Shilling was 15, not 17 as previously reported. (Read more from “Michigan School Shooting Suspect Charged With Terrorism, Murder; 4 Students Dead” HERE)

Video Shows ‘Red Flag’ That Had Students Fleeing High School Shooter (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Terrified students apparently hunkered down in a classroom during Tuesday’s deadly school shooting in Michigan — then jumped out the window amid fears the gunman was impersonating a sheriff in the hallway, according to footage shared to social media.

“Sheriff’s office. It’s safe to come out,” a male voice can be heard saying tentatively from behind the door of the Oxford High School classroom during the shooting that left three students dead and eight others wounded, the postings say.

A dozen or so frightened students seen on the clip inside the room are immediately skeptical of the supposed authority figure. . .

Man Drowns With Winning Lottery in His Wallet

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Michigan man won $45,000 in a lottery game – but drowned with the ticket in his wallet before he was able to cash it.

Gregory Jarvis, 57, was at the Blue Water Inn in Caseville on Sept. 13 when he played the Club Keno add-on game The Jack — and hit the jackpot, WJRT of Flint reported.

“Very nice guy, he was here every day,” joint owner Dawn Talaski told the news station. “Somebody said someone just won The Jack and he said, ‘Great,’ and someone asked him, ‘Was it you?’ and it was, so he was super excited.”

Talaski said Jarvis returned to the inn almost a week later and bought rounds of drinks, but had still not cashed his winning ticket because he didn’t have the proper documentation.

“He couldn’t cash it because he didn’t have a Social Security card at all, it wasn’t any good, so he applied for a new one,” she told WJRT. (Read more from “Man Drowns With Winning Lottery in His Wallet” HERE)

A fully vaccinated Michigan couple died one minute apart from COVID-19 on Sunday, weeks after coming down with the virus.

Cal Dunham, 59, and his wife Linda, 66, had preexisting conditions and were very cautious, Fox17Online reported. But they came down with symptoms during a recent camping trip and days later were hospitalized and put on ventilators, the report said.

They did not improve and doctors told the family that they would likely need to come off life support on Monday. Their daughter Sarah Dunham told the outlet that the pair “had other plans.”

“It was Sunday and dad’s like, ‘You know what? This is what we’re going to do today,’” she said.

They were reportedly wheeled into the same room. He died at 11:07 a.m. and she died at 11:08 a.m., the report said. They were holding hands. (Read more from “Report: Fully Vaccinated Couple Dies From COVID-19 a Minute Apart While Holding Hands” HERE)

A Michigan state representative is facing additional felony charges after allegedly having a handcuff key taped to his foot when he was arrested Tuesday.
