Multiple vehicles had items stolen from them during the same stretch of time last week in Troy, including four on the same block, police said.
Four larcenies from auto in the 2700 block of Dashwood Street reportedly happened sometime between 5:30 p.m. on Jan. 15 and 10:40 a.m. on Jan. 16, police said.
One victim said the unlocked vehicle was entered and shopping bags containing clothing were stolen. Another victim reported a window on the vehicle was broken out and the thief took a purse containing $300, credit cards and personal papers. Another reported a window was broken out and four pairs of shoes, two shirts and a blanket were stolen, and the other victim reported a window was broken out and a bag was stolen, police said.
So far, no suspects — according to Troy Police Lt. Ben Hancock.
Another larceny reportedly occurred sometime between 4 p.m. on Jan. 15 and 6:40 a.m. on Jan. 16 in the 2600 block of Lovington Drive, police said. In that incident, the victim reported a backpack containing a Chromebook laptop was stolen from the vehicle, police said.
Hancock reminds residents to not leave any valuables in vehicles overnight.
“Items left in plain sight overnight inside your vehicle increases your chance of being a victim of a larceny from your vehicle,” Hancock said. “Everyone should also double check their car is locked if parked in their driveway or the street as we are seeing a lot of vehicles are left unlocked.”
A 31-year-old Clinton Township man was convicted of first-degree, premeditated murder Thursday for the slaying of his estranged wife and the mother of his three young children in their former marital home.
Steven Bryce Wheeler will be ordered to serve the rest of his life in prison without a chance for parole for the death of 33-year-old Jordan Wheeler following his conviction by a seven-man, seven-woman Macomb County jury that deliberated about five hours over two days.
A drunken, expletive-yelling Wheeler shot Jordan five times minutes after she arrived at the couple’s former marital home near 15 Mile Road and Gratiot Avenue in October 2023. She had moved out but had come to pick up their two sons, who called their mother saying their father was being mean to them.
Kelly Femminineo, Jordan’s sister, said she and other family members and relatives who attended the trial are pleased with the outcome.
“We are very happy with the first-degree murder verdict,” Femminineo said. “The prosecutors and detectives did an amazing job. It was a clean case. He can never hurt the kids again, and they are very happy about that. They can rest easy.”
She said family members were confident the jury would come back with at least second-degree murder, which was an option and would have meant Wheeler could have been paroled at some point.

“We were not worried at all,” she said. “It’s finally come to an end. It’s the best ending.”
The family was “patient” while they attended the months of court proceedings.
Wheeler took the stand in his defense.
“He was trying to save himself and talk himself out of stuff that he couldn’t,” she said. “He tried to paint a different picture of what was really going on. His explanation was he had tunnel vision and wishes he didn’t do it.”
She noted he knew his two sons were present when he shot Jordan.
“I don’t think anything mattered,” she said.

She added the marriage was rocky. Jordan Wheeler had filed for divorce three months before her death.
“It was very up and down with them with the drinking and infidelity” by Steven Wheeler, she said.
Jordan had tried to work with her husband on his issues.
“It was trying all by herself trying to get him help,” she said.
Wheeler’s family attended trial proceedings last week but stopped attending this week, she said.
Judge Julie Gatti scheduled the sentencing for Feb. 26.
The incident took place at about 10 p.m. Oct. 19, 2023, after Jordan Wheeler, who had moved with the children to her sister’s Mount Clemens home, went to the Woodward Street home to pick up the boys.
Wheeler shot his wife, who was dressed in pajama bottoms, a T-shirt and slippers, within about six to seven minutes of her arrival.
When she arrived, Wheeler screamed expletives, including “Get the f— out of my house” and “Get the f— out of my life.”
When he grabbed his wife in the kitchen, she called 911.
When a dispatcher asked if guns were in the house, and Jordan Wheeler replied there were, he went to his bedroom closet, retrieved a handgun and shot fired the fatal shots.
He can be heard in the 911 call yelling, “F— you. I f—ing killed you bitch. I shot you in the f—ing head.”
The two boys ran out of the house about 10 seconds before the shooting and were standing near their mother’s car, which was parked in the street, when it occurred. The older boy testified he heard the gunshots and saw flashes of gunfire.
Police quickly responded and arrested Wheeler.
The deliberations began after closing arguments Wednesday and continued until about noon Thursday.
The jury asked to see three pieces of evidence during their deliberations – an approximately four-minute video and audio recording by Jordan Wheeler on her cell phone from when she entered the home to pick up her two sons to when she dialed 911, the emergency recording and a copy of an order regarding child custody from their unresolved divorce case.
The children live in Ohio with their grandparents.
“They are doing great,” Femminineo said.
“They are excelling in school and happy as can be,” she said.
She said the family has plans to create a memorial for Jordan Wheeler to help her children, including not only the boys but also a daughter who is now 5, to remember their mother. They also plan to take some actions to fight domestic violence, she added.
“We can start doing things in her honor, starting doing things about domestic violence in her honor,” she said.
Kelly Femminineo is married to Judge Jacob Femminineo of 41B District Court in Clinton Township.

A 61-year-old Redford man is facing 10 felony charges for alleged human trafficking and related crimes involving women from Oakland and Macomb counties.
Damon Keith Napier, held in the Oakland County Jail, is charged with:
• Two counts each of human trafficking enterprise resulting in injury, transporting a person for the purpose of prostitution, and accepting earnings from prostitution
• Three counts of third-degree criminal sexual conduct
• One count of pandering.
The alleged victims are 31-year-old women — one from Southfield and the other from Warren.

Oakland County Sheriff Mike Bouchard said Napier’s arrest is the first arrest for the Oakland County Human Trafficking Task Force, calling it “the maiden voyage of success.”
Bouchard, speaking at a news conference Thursday afternoon, declined to give details on Napier’s case, but said “the information came from bread crumbs from other stuff” and had been under investigation for quite some time.
“Obviously, it was a horrendous position these ladies were in,” Bouchard said. “We’re super glad to be holding (Napier) accountable for that behavior.”
Bouchard, along with David Williams, chief assistant prosecutor at the Oakland County Prosecutor’s Office, said it’s believed there are more victims that can be connected to Napier. They urge anyone else who may have been victimized by Napier, or knows someone who has been, to contact the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office or their local police department.
“We understand the fear of coming forward,” Bouchard said. “Know we’re your advocates (and Napier) is behind bars. “
Napier has an extensive criminal history, including convictions for kidnapping, illegal drugs and more in California, Bouchard said. His current cases are being adjudicated in Southfield’s 46th District Court and Hazel Park’s 43rd District Court. Bond is set at $500,000 in both cases.
Napier’s next court appearance is scheduled for Jan. 28.

Officials reported a 30% decrease in burglary, 35% drop in home invasions and a 22% reduction in vehicle theft.
Police Chief Issa Shahin credits the decrease to the use of technology like drones and infrared cameras. He also announced the future implementation of a real-time crime center that will integrate real-time video feeds from public and private cameras into a centralized hub, allowing officers to monitor, analyze, and respond to incidents more efficiently.
“This initiative highlights the collaborative public private partnerships, where businesses and residents who opt in can share securely, share their access to their surveillance cameras,” he said.
The crime center is expected to launch in the next several months.
“Today, we celebrate meaningful progress — but we remain focused on the work ahead,” Shahin added. “Public safety is not a destination; it’s an ongoing journey that demands innovation, collaboration, and trust.”

Federal prosecutors this week took steps to dismiss criminal convictions against three of the six Macomb County residents who took part in the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection and caused nearly $3 million in damage to the U.S. Capitol.
On the first day following the inauguration, President Donald Trump signed documents pardoning nearly 1,500 supporters suspected of storming the Capitol, referring to the defendants as “hostages.”
“This proclamation ends a grave national injustice that has been perpetrated upon the American people over the last four years and begins a process of national reconciliation,” Trump’s executive order said.
The order grants “a full, complete and unconditional pardon to all other individuals convicted of offenses” and ordered the dismissal of pending indictments. Anyone currently in custody of the Bureau of Prisons was to be released immediately.
According to U.S. Attorney’s Office data and other media reports, the Macomb suspects received sentences ranging from home confinement to two weeks in prison.

Court records show federal prosecutors on Tuesday filed motions to dismiss the indictments of Daniel Herendeen of Chesterfield Township, Robert Schornak, Roseville, and Tim Boughner of Romeo.
Herendeen, 46, and Schornak, 42, described by the FBI as friends, were both charged with obstruction of Congress, aiding and abetting, knowingly entering a restricted area, and disorderly conduct. Both pleaded guilty to entering a restricted building.
A judge ordered Herendeen to serve 14 days in prison, 60 days home detention, three years probation, and to pay $500 in restitution toward repairing damage to the Capitol building, court documents show. Schornak was sentenced to 28 days “intermittent confinement,” two months home detention, three years probation, and $500 restitution.
Herendeen was previously convicted of domestic assault, disorderly conduct and operating while impaired twice between 1995 and 2013. Schornak was convicted of disorderly conduct in 2003 and operating while intoxicated in 2001.
Both men have already served their sentences. Although a pardon nullifies the conviction and eliminates any impact on rights, such as employment, serving on a jury or voting, a commutation doesn’t reverse the conviction; it only reduces the sentence.
On Wednesday, a federal judge dismissed charges against Tim Boughner of Romeo who was accused of engaging in physical violence in a restricted building and other crimes.

U.S. District Judge Tanya S. Chutkan said the president’s pardon does not necessarily mean Boughner is innocent. In her ruling, the judge “no pardon can change the tragic truth of what happened” on Jan. 6, 2021.
“The dismissal of this case cannot undo the “rampage (that) left multiple people dead, injured more than 140 people, and inflicted millions of dollars in damage. It cannot diminish the heroism of law enforcement officers who “struggled, facing serious injury and even death, to control the mob that overwhelmed them,” the judge wrote.
“It cannot whitewash the blood, feces, and terror that the mob left in its wake. And it cannot repair the jagged breach in America’s sacred tradition of peacefully transitioning power.”

The government’s video shows Boughner in a crowd at the Capitol and using a chemical spray against officers attempting to secure the building, the government said. He is also accused of using a bike rack to assault officers.
His case had not been adjudicated at the time of Wednesday’s pardon, court records show.
Three other local residents are expected to also have their convictions pardoned.
Earlier this month and before the Inauguration, Mount Clemens businessman Jason Howland was sentenced to serve 36 months of probation, including three months of home detention. He was sentenced Jan. 10 by Judge Trevor N. McFadden of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia.
Howland, 49, a residential bathroom contractor from Clinton Township, pled guilty to civil disorder. FBI agents arrested him in Mount Clemens in January 2024 on five charges, including disorderly conduct and obstruction of an official proceeding, court records show.
In a sentencing memorandum, federal prosecutors asked the judge to send Howland to prison for two years. They said he intended to disrupt Congress from certifying the results of the 2020 presidential election won by President Joseph Biden, called for “war” on Jan. 6 and spent an hour inside the Capitol, longer than other convicted rioters.
“Howland was an avid and willing participant in an unprecedented crime,” Justice Department Trial Attorney Terence Parker wrote in a sentencing memorandum. “He joined a mob that threatened the lives of legislators and their staff, interrupted of the certification of the 2020 Electoral College vote count, injured more than one hundred police officers, and resulted in more than $2.9 million in losses.”
In addition to house arrest, Judge McFadden ordered Howland to pay $10,000 in restitution, fines, and assessments.
His lawyer, Sean Tilton, sought a more lenient sentence, arguing Howland has changed his behavior and noting advisory sentencing guidelines call for no more than a six-month prison sentence.
“He no longer attends protests or rallies,” Tilton wrote. “He has been deterred from engaging in any similar behavior. Mr. Howland has worked very hard to stop using drugs, remain sober, and build and support a family. He regrets putting everything he has worked towards at risk.”
Howland wrote a letter of apology to the judge where took responsibility for his actions on Jan. 6. He said he had a realization after the riot and asked for mercy from the court.
“The realization is that it is not good for me to be involved in events where there is a capacity for the crowd to get out of control,” he wrote. “For a long time I had questioned how seemingly average people got involved things like this. I had seen the stories and asked myself how people could be so foolish. Then, I was there, and it was different. I was the fool.”
Neither Howland nor his attorney responded to requests for comment this week.
Federal prosecutors said the Jan. 6 incident marked the latest criminal offense by Howland.
He has a criminal history that stretches nearly 30 years, including convictions for felony assault with a dangerous weapon, receiving and concealing stolen property and a 2006 guilty plea to ethnic intimidation and attempted assault with a dangerous weapon in St. Clair County.
Howland “repeatedly yelled the N-word at a group of three African American children who were playing at a park,” the prosecutor wrote. “When confronted by the children’s mother, Howland picked up a shovel, threatening to hit her with it and calling her the same racial slur.”
In that case, Howland was sentenced to probation but was sentenced to one year in prison after violating the terms of his probation.
According to The Detroit News, Howland co-founded the American Patriot Council, a group that organized protests in Michigan against Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and other topics. In doing so, he worked with Ryan Kelley, a one-time gubernatorial candidate and real estate broker who was sentenced to 60 days in prison for committing a federal crime during the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. He also is in the process of having his conviction dismissed.
Also expected to have his conviction overturned is James Mels.
Mels, 58, of Shelby Township received a sentence of three years probation, three months home detention, 60 hours community service, and $500 in restitution. He was charged with entering a restricted building, disorderly conduct, disorderly conduct in a Capitol building, and picketing inside the Capitol.
He pleaded guilty to entering a restricted building, according to court records.

Thurlow was charged with entering a restricted building, demonstrating in the Capitol and two disorderly conduct charges.
A veteran of the U.S. Army, Thurlow wore bulletproof armor during the insurrection as a mob assaulted police and pushed their way inside the Capitol, according to investigators. Prosecutors said he openly bragged about the group’s involvement on Facebook, giving law enforcement officers evidence that led to his arrest.

A Florida man who was facing criminal charges for assaulting police officers in the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol has found himself in custody again — just one day after being pardoned by President Trump.
Daniel Charles Ball, 39, was arrested on gun charges Wednesday, according to Spectrum Bay News 9 in Tampa. An indictment from August, charging him with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, cited his past convictions for domestic violence strangulation, resisting law enforcement and battery on a law enforcement officer.
Ball was reportedly in Washington, D.C. awaiting trial for his actions in the Capitol riot — including wounding police with an explosive device — when Trump granted pardons to more than 1,500 convicts involved in sacking the building.
The 78-year-old Republican leader had convinced those loyalists without evidence that the 2020 presidential election was somehow rigged against him.
Following Trump’s pardons, an arrest warrant filed in the Middle District of Florida called for the apprehension of Ball, describing him as a “two-time convicted felon” from Homosassa.
Law enforcement officers injured by Trump supporters on Jan. 6 expressed outrage over the release of their assailants.
“Donald Trump has told the American people, ‘If you commit crimes on my behalf I’ve got your back,” former D.C. Metro Officer Michael Fanone told CNN.
A Macomb County jury spent nearly three hours Wednesday deliberating the fate of a 31-year-old Clinton Township man charged with first-degree murder in the 2023 fatal shooting of his estranged wife at their former marital home.
The six-woman, six-man jury mulled the case from about 2 p.m. to shortly before 5 p.m. Wednesday in Macomb County Circuit Court in Mount Clemens for the death of Jordan Wheeler, 33, the mother of his three children.
The jury is slated to return to court at 10 a.m. Thursday to resume deliberating.
The deliberations follow a six-day trial in front of Judge Julie Gatti.

Jurors could reach a verdict of second-degree murder, which carries a penalty of up to life in prison with a change for parole. A first-degree murder conviction carries a mandator life-without-parole term.
The prosecution says Wheeler had time to premeditate and reflect on his actions while his defense attorney says he did not have time to deliberate.
The jury asked to see three pieces of evidence during their deliberations – an approximately four-minute video and audio recording by Jordan Wheeler on her cell phone from when she entered the home to pick up her two sons to when she dialed 911, the 911 recording and a copy of an order regarding child custody from their unresolved divorce case.
The deliberations began after closing arguments Wednesday. Last Friday, Wheeler testified in his defense.
The incident took place at about 10 p.m. Oct. 19, 2023, after Jordan Wheeler, who had moved with the children to her sister’s Mount Clemens home, went to the Woodward Street home to pick up her two sons after they called to complain about their father.
When she arrived, an intoxicated Wheeler screamed expletives, including “Get the f— out of my house” and “Get the f— out of my life.”
When he grabbed his wife in the kitchen, she called 911.
After the 911 dispatcher asked if guns were in the house, and Jordan Wheeler replied there were, the defendant went to his bedroom closet, retrieved a handgun and shot her five times in the head.
He can be heard in the 911 call yelling, “F— you. I f—ing killed you bitch. I shot you in the f—ing head.”
The two boys – 8 and 7 at the time – ran out of the house about 10 seconds before the shooting and were standing near their mother’s car, which was parked in the street, when it occurred. The older boy testified he heard the gunshots and saw flashes of gunfire.
Police quickly responded and arrested Wheeler.
Jordan Wheeler’s sister, Kelly Femminineo, who testified, is the wife of Judge Jacob Femminineo of 41B District Court in Clinton Township, who attended some of the trial proceedings.

LANSING (AP) — State police in Michigan will be required to destroy guns collected during community buybacks, under legislation signed into law Wednesday by Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.
State police in 2024 acknowledged that a previous disposal method destroyed only the frame or receiver of the firearm. A private company was recycling and selling the other parts, The New York Times reported.
State police last March announced that they would destroy entire guns. Now that policy has been written into law.
“Our current practice of destroying all parts of the firearm will remain the standard now and for the future,” said Col. James Grady II, director of the state police.
The Rev. Chris Yaw of St. David’s Episcopal Church in Southfield said gun destruction through buybacks is what “Michiganders want and expect.”
Yaw’s church in suburban Detroit has collected hundreds of guns in exchange for gift cards to area stores. He said the line of cars was 2 miles (3.2 kilometers) long during an event in 2022.
Preliminary examinations are scheduled for two Pontiac teenage brothers who allegedly shot a man last month in an attempt to kill him.
Kentrell Norton, 18, and Terrell Norton, 19, are each charged with 11 crimes: multiple counts of assault with intent to murder and possession of a firearm in the commission of a felony, as well as discharging a firearm in a building causing injury and carrying a concealed weapon. At their preliminary exams, scheduled for March 7 in 50th District Court, Judge Jeremy Bowie will be presented with evidence and then determine if probable cause was established to advance the cases to Oakland County Circuit Court for possible trial.
According to the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office, the shooting happened in the 700 block of Auburn Avenue in Pontiac on Dec. 12, 2024. The victim, a 29-year-old Pontiac man, suffered a bullet wound to his side.
“Detectives found a large crime scene in the parking lot of an apartment complex with multiple shell casings, multiple struck vehicles and multiple struck apartments,” the sheriff’s office stated in a news release.
Terrell Norton was arrested Jan. 9 at a home on South Sanford Street in Pontiac. Kentrell Norton was arrested Jan. 10 after a brief foot chase by members of the sheriff’s Fugitive Apprehension Team in an Orion Township mobile home park, the sheriff’s office said.
After Kentrell Norton’s arrest, detectives executed a search warrant and discovered a Polymer 80 handgun with no serial number believed to have been used in the shooting, the sheriff’s office said.
Ammunition and clothing believed to have been worn during the shooting were found in the Sanford Street residence, the sheriff’s office said.
The Norton brothers are held in the Oakland County Jail. Bond is denied for Kentrell Norton; Terrell Norton’s bond is $250,000.
A Detroiter is facing charges of rape, strangulation, child abuse and more for an alleged attack of a woman and her kids at a Royal Oak Township motel.
He reportedly bit off part of the woman’s ear in the attack, officials said.
Jacob Macklis booking photo
Jacob Macklis, 23, is charged with first-degree criminal sexual conduct, assault with intent to main, assault by strangulation, felonious assault, two counts of third-degree child abuse and domestic violence for an incident last week at the American Inn and Suites in Royal Oak Township.
“The level of violence in this case is shocking,” said Oakland County Prosecutor Karen McDonald. “My heart goes out to this woman and her children for what they had to endure. My office will pursue the maximum charges against this defendant because his victims deserve justice.”
According to the prosecutor’s office, Michigan State Police troopers responded to the motel on Jan. 18 on reports of a woman and children screaming for help. When they arrived, they reportedly saw Macklis holding a 35-year-old woman by her hair and then punching her in the face, the prosecutor’s office said.
Macklis is also accused of sexually assaulting the woman and physically assaulting her two minor children.
The domestic violence charge asserts the woman “is a resident or former resident” of Macklis’ household and/or had a dating relationship with him.
Macklis, booked into the Oakland County Jail on Jan. 18, faces up to life in prison if convicted of the CSC charge and up to 10 years for the assault charges. Third-degree child abuse is punishable by up to two years in prison, and the domestic violence charge is a misdemeanor with a maximum penalty of 93 days in jail.
The preliminary exam for a felon accused of killing an Oxford Township woman who had stopped to help him after a car crash on Christmas Eve has been postponed from its January date to March.
Malik Webb, 29, is charged with felony murder for the slaying of clinical psychologist Barbara Wolf, and 18 other crimes including carjacking, assault with intent to murder and multiple firearms offenses for the Dec. 24 incident on Ray Road near Oxford High School.
Webb allegedly shot Wolf multiple times and two others — Wolf’s daughter and a 56-year-old Oxford man who had also stopped to assist Webb following the crash. Wolf died at an area hospital.
Webb has a lengthy criminal history and was released from prison last July 1 after serving nearly six years for various weapons-related offenses. Had he served his maximum sentence of 7 years and six months — with jail credit of 62 days — he’d still be in prison.
Webb’s preliminary exam was pushed out two months during a court hearing Tuesday. At the preliminary exam, now scheduled for March 28 in 52-3 District Court, Judge Nancy Carniak will hear evidence then decide if probable cause is established to advance the case to Oakland County Circuit Court for possible trial.
Wolf, according to her obituary, was the married mother of three and grandmother of five.

The obituary states, in part: “Dr. Wolf served as the Corporate Director of Behavioral Health Education and Physician Wellness in the Division of Academic Medicine at McLaren Health Care. She was also an Associate Professor for Michigan State College of Human and Osteopathic Medicine in the Departments of Family Medicine and Psychiatry. ”
The obituary further states: “Barbara’s life was a testament to her unwavering dedication to her family, her profession, and the countless lives she touched with her expertise and compassion. Even though she is gone, she lives on within each of us.”
Twelve Oakland County communities that contract with the sheriff’s office for law enforcement services are scrambling to figure out how they’ll cover a roughly 33% rate increase over three years, saying they’ll have to cut spending elsewhere, raise taxes or eliminate deputy positions.
Several communities have already made adjustments for the first year of the contracts, which started Jan. 1. Three scrapped plans to expand their substations and add deputies. Addison Township in northern Oakland County will lay off one deputy starting April 1, the start of its fiscal year.
But multiple officials, one of whom called the rate increases “astronomical,” said they’re still figuring out how they’ll handle the second and third years of the three-year contracts that the Democratic-controlled Oakland County Board of Commissioners approved in November. The board raised contract prices by an average of 15% in 2025 and around 9% each in 2026 and 2027. Several communities have property tax millages specifically for police services that they can’t increase yet.
For Rochester Hills, the contract increase amounts to about $4.5 million more over three years. For Independence Township, it’s $1.8 million.
“After 2025, we have to look at it (police service costs) very strongly because the rates go up again in 2026,” Oxford Supervisor Jack Curtis said. “… I have to look at every ounce of overtime, I have to look at every expenditure and say, ‘How is this going to affect us in ’26?'”
But county officials said the new contract better reflects the actual cost of police services.
Dave Woodward, chairman of the Oakland County Board of Commissioners, said the county had been effectively subsidizing the costs of police services in these communities for years and these are the first contracts that accurately reflect the price of the services.
“The issues about the pricing of these services being out of sync with what they really cost came to light three years ago when we approved those (contracts), but we were so close there was no time to make adjustments at that time,” said Woodward, a Royal Oak Democrat. “Oakland County’s fiscal office, led by our CFO in the county, working with the sheriff’s office, compiled all the costs that are associated with individual officers, and that became the framework of these agreements.”
The average contract increases in 2024, 2023, 2022 and 2021 were 2.8%, 2.7%, 1.3%, and 2.9%, respectively.
Still, many aren’t happy with how the increase was handled or its timing. The Deputy Sheriff’s Association of Oakland County, a union that represents sheriff’s deputies, posted a letter on social media in late December to residents, detailing the contract’s potential impact. It was signed by leaders of 11 of the 12 contracted communities. Only Pontiac Mayor Tim Greimel didn’t sign the letter.
“Imagine waiting longer for help to arrive during a crisis or seeing vital community programs disappear due to budget shortfalls,” the letter states.
The Deputy Sheriff’s Association didn’t respond to requests for comment.
Local officials balk
The sheriff’s office has contracts with 12 communities that don’t have their own police departments, including Commerce Township, Independence Township, Highland Township, Lyon Township, Pontiac, Rochester Hills and Springfield Township. Eight of the 10 townships in northern Oakland County all contract with the sheriff’s office for police services.
Contracts are priced by officer, with different rates for positions such as deputies, captains and sergeants, Woodward said. Everything from wage increases under labor union contracts, health care and retirement contributions to vehicle and liability costs go into determining the price per officer, he said. All of these have been growing, Woodward said.
All of the indirect costs associated with providing law enforcement services, including human resources support, payroll support, accounting and legal support, were included in the cost per officer, Woodward said.
Still, many officials said they were caught off guard by the size of the increases.
In Rochester Hills, which has a $185 million budget for its 2025 fiscal year, the contract increases 17% in the first year. Mayor Bryan Barnett said while the city budgeted for some price hikes, the new rates will force residents and officials to consider the level of service they want to maintain.
“When something goes up 35% in three years, you have to make some tough choices,” Barnett said. “Either … we have to ask residents to pay more, or we’re going to have to redeploy resources in a way that’s going to cause significant cuts in other parts of what we do as a community.”
Independence Township faces a similar 15% increase in 2025, followed by 9% increases each in 2026, and 2027, amounting to roughly $1.8 million. The township has a $9.4 million general fund budget for the 2025 fiscal year.
“The resulting pressure will lead to cuts in essential services, delays to critical projects like the new substation, or tax and fee increases that cannot take effect until 2027,” Township Supervisor Chuck Phyle said in a statement.
Some leaders especially questioned the timing of the new contract, approved in November, after the general election. By that point, most townships and cities had finished their 2025 budget processes, and it was too late to raise taxes.
“We all had an election this year, that’s when we are allowed to ask for tax increases or millages. We would have unequivocally in Orion Township … put a ballot question on our ballots in either August or November,” Supervisor Chris Barnett said. “Unequivocally, we will be asking our residents for a tax increase in 2026, probably August 2026.”
Woodward said the contracts were approved by the commission at the exact same time, almost to the day, as they were approved three years ago and local officials should not have been surprised.
“Every supervisor knew that the costs were going to have to go up,” Woodward said. “Many of these communities also contract for dispatch services. … Those prices were adjusted in the very same way we’re talking about here and there was an increase, the cost associated with delivering the services were increased there as well.”
Oxford Township has a millage that supports the sheriff’s substation and finalizes its annual budget by September, said Curtis, the supervisor. When the commission sent the new contracts in December, it was “well beyond a budget amendment process that we do, or trying to find funds,” he said.
“Fortunately, I anticipated some costs going up, so I budgeted for some of those costs, but impactfully a 15% raise in the rate is astronomical,” Curtis said. “We’re wrestling through it all, we’re allocating funds from future years, we’re allocating funds away from some building costs that we were doing. We are not going to lay anybody off at this time because quite frankly, three years ago, when we had this (Oxford High School) shooting, we are still experiencing large numbers of overtime hours.”
Sheriff’s response
While the county administration has historically worked with the contracted communities and the sheriff’s department to agree on contract rates, that was not necessarily the case this year, Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard said.
“This time, the communities were not part of the discussion, and the sheriff’s office input was received but not necessarily agreed to,” said Bouchard, a Republican who has held the sheriff’s position for more than two decades. “We think there are a number of things that went into the process for determining the rates that made them higher than we think they should have been.”
The sheriff agreed that the communities should pay their fair share of the cost to the county but certain support positions in the sheriff’s office, such as human resources, that exist regardless of the contracts should not be factored into the rates.
“A portion of the contracts include positions that would be there anyway, with or without the contracts,” Bouchard said. “We would like to see actual documentation to what the so-called costs are as it relates to actual costs that would exist with or without the contracts.”
Bouchard said the sheriff’s office already runs “lean” and is concerned about the increased rates reducing positions. Commerce Township decreased the number of positions at its substation by two. Rochester Hills, Pontiac and Orion Township all axed plans to expand their substations and add positions this year.
Still, all of the contracts were signed at the new rate in time to start the new year, Woodward said.
‘Unfair’ subsidies
Woodward maintained that the county undercharged communities for sheriff’s office services for too long, adding up to tens of millions of dollars of unfair subsidies.
“The entire county was subsidizing the difference, and that’s fundamentally unfair,” Woodward said. “We have 12 communities we contract with, but the other 50 have their own police departments.”
Woodward blamed previous county administrations for not charging communities the full price of law enforcement services in previous contracts.
Some officials, like Phyle of Independence Township, still have concerns about transparency and the accuracy of the county’s calculations.
“Independence Township deserves better than unanticipated financial burdens that jeopardize public safety and trust,” Phyle said. “The $1.8 million increase is unacceptable without collaboration and transparency from the county.”
But Woodward said the county has made its entire fiscal services team available to the communities to answer their questions, and the contracts represent the price of “exceptional law enforcement services.”
“I get that people wish the prices were lower. I wish the prices were lower,” Woodward said, adding: “The price is the price.”
Forming their own police departments
Even with the price increases, the communities that contract with the sheriff’s office for public safety services are a “captive audience,” Orion Township’s Barnett said. The contracts began at the start of the new year, leaving roughly a month for local governments to consider and plan.
“If you were going to form your own department, you’re probably four or five years away from forming a department,” said Joseph Merucci, Oakland Township supervisor. “I understand the rates got to go up, because just inflation is going to go up, but it’s the timing that really stinks.”
The cost of contracting with the sheriff is also still less than the cost of starting and operating a local police department, Highland Township Supervisor Rick Hamill said.
“There’s no way that we could have our own police department for anywhere near, near the price that we pay for Oakland County’s program, and their program is stellar,” Hamill said. “The commission’s approach to covering those or those costs was a bit defective, and I think, ironically, it was more politically biased than anything.”
The Oakland County Deputy Sheriff’s Association letter, posted to the organization’s Facebook page last month, linked the increased rates to delayed response times and the potential loss of community programs.
“Dave Woodward intentionally pushed this agenda item to defund the police under the guise of ‘indirect costs,'” the letter said. “Every delayed response time, every underfunded program, and every officer stretched too thin impacts the safety of our community.”
Woodward said the argument that the rate increase is part of an effort to defund the police is “completely false” and called it dangerous to suggest the public is less safe than before the contracts were approved.
“Every one of these communities that signed this letter have money in their police millages to pay for these contracts,” Woodward said. “To grab one’s pearls and act in shock and awe is, it’s just juvenile.”
The Sheriff’s Department consistently receives one of the largest portions of money from the county’s general fund each year, Woodward explained. In 2025 the Sheriff’s Department’s budget is $218 million.
“Oakland County has never invested more in our law enforcement than we do today. It was Oakland County, led by Democrats, that paid for body cams to lead to not only greater transparency but … also to defend our officers of false claims,” Woodward said. “We just entered into a multimillion-dollar contract to get our officers the best equipment, brand new state-of-the-art tasers to reduce the need for a use of a gun to de-escalate situations. We are buying new vehicles.”
Greimel, Pontiac’s mayor, said he didn’t sign the union’s letter because he didn’t agree with its aggressive tone. Pontiac faced an immediate increase of about $2 million in 2025 and a total increase of roughly $5 million over the next three years, which Greimel called a “shock” to the system.
“We understand the county’s motivation, and we want to work with the county, but we’re hoping that we can get some assistance and flexibility from the county over the next couple of years so that it’s not as big of an increase all at once,” Greimel said. “The magnitude of the increase in price to the city of Pontiac is concerning, and I’ve certainly expressed those concerns directly to county commissioners.”
Communities have the option to distribute the contract increase more evenly over three years, Woodward said.
Rate increase in years two and three
The contracts will increase by 9% in 2026 and 2027, the result of the estimated consumer price index, a measure of inflation experienced by consumers, plus 6% in both years. Bouchard is concerned that the 6% increase is more of a guess and would like to see a specific accounting for what costs it covers.
“We would like to see year two and year three, the percentage of increase CPI and actual direct, documentable increase in cost, not a percentage based on best guess,” Bouchard said.
But Woodward said it’s difficult to predict future cost increases in things such as health care, equipment, liability insurance, and wages, especially with deputy and command union contracts up for re-negotiation in the next three years, Woodward said.
“This wasn’t made in a vacuum. It is looking at what is our experienced growth in these categories: wages, health care, liability, equipment, etc., and forecasting what those costs are, and that’s what the projected increase for years two and years three are,” Woodward said.
Initially, the county’s fiscal services department proposed contract increases of the CPI plus 2%, but commissioners on the public health and safety committee voted to increase it.
The county is also not allowed to charge communities more than the price of the service provided and is hiring personnel to track prices over the life of the contract, Woodward said.
“Let’s say wage increases for the sheriff deputies is lower than what we’re planning… then we will immediately, in the next month, credit the community for that service,” Woodward said.

The Hamtramck Police Department is rolling out a new Citizens Police Academy — a new course for Hamtramck leaders to learn the ins and outs of the department.
Hamtramck Police Chief Jamiel Altaheri says the 21-hour comprehensive course will give the public a working knowledge of the police department’s personnel and policies.
“I really think it’s going to really be a bridge between us and the community because the people attending the Citizens Academy are leaders within the community. That’s who we’re targeting: it’s the doctors, architects, laborers, also activists, religious leaders,” he said.
Altaheri says the course consists of a series of classes held once each week for three hours. People will be provided with coursework, tours, and hands-on demonstrations.
Topics include evidence collection, digital forensics, and patrol. The department hopes to provide tours and ride-alongs as well.
Altaheri says it’s an effort to build bridges between the department and the public.
“We’re going to create a group, Hamtramck police citizens group, and create events every year where we bring all the different graduates from various years together, and we hope that they could be liaisons and be ambassadors for the police department, but also for their own community,” he said.
Altaheri says he hopes youth will also take part in the academy.
“We also want to make sure we get all groups of people from different walks of life. So we’re reaching out to the African American community, the Bangladeshi community, the Yemeni community, so we want to make sure we get a diverse group of people,” he said. “I think it’s good too, because they also get to know one another.”
People who live and work in Hamtramck are encouraged to apply.
Altaheri says he hopes the course also dispels misconceptions about the police department while creating transparency.
Classes will be held from 6:30-9:30 p.m. on Wednesdays, starting Jan. 29 through March 19. Those interested in participating can register at hamtramckcity.gov or by visiting the department’s Facebook page.
Applications can also be picked up at the front desk of the Hamtramck Police Department, located inside Hamtramck City Hall.

A felon on parole for an armed robbery conviction is accused of taking thousands of stolen dollars from an acquaintance and then shooting him, officials said.
The felon, Jamarieai Burns, 30, of Pontiac, faces charges of assault with intent to murder, armed robbery, possession of a firearm by a prohibited person, and three counts of felony firearm. The acquaintance who was shot and allegedly robbed, Arthur Crayton, 25, of Pontiac, is charged with larceny of a building.
According to the Oakland County Prosecutor’s Office, it all unfolded on Jan. 10 when Crayton allegedly robbed a co-worker of $12,000 in Pontiac, then contacted Burns for a ride. Burns showed up, allegedly took approximately $4,000 of the stolen money from Crayton and then allegedly shot him in the hip.
“The victim will be prosecuted for his own alleged crimes, but those crimes don’t justify what happened to him,” Oakland County Prosecutor Karen McDonald stated in a news release. “Jamarieai Burns is a repeat offender. We intend to prosecute him to the fullest extent of the law. Every victim in this case is entitled to justice.”
Assault with intent to murder is punishable by up to life in prison. Larceny in a building carries a penalty of up to four years in prison.
The Oakland County Jail roster lists Burns as in custody as of Jan. 12. Crayton was booked into the jail on Jan. 11 and released three days later.
Attorney General Dana Nessel has announced charges against four more people — Detroiters — allegedly connected to an auto theft operating in southeast Michigan.
The criminal organization is accused of stealing hundreds of vehicles from the region, targeting car dealerships and storage lots, parking lots and residences — then selling them on the black market at prices significantly below market value to buyers seeking unregistered vehicles, the AG’s Office stated in a news release. The stolen vehicles have reportedly been linked to other criminal activity.
The most recent arrests of the four Detroiters stem from an ongoing investigation by the Troy Police Department in partnership with FORCE (Focused Organized Retail Crime Enforcement). FORCE, established two years ago, includes multiple local law enforcement groups, special agents with the AG’s office, Michigan State Police, the FBI, Postal Inspection Service and retailers.
The AG’s office announced the FORCE Team investigation into an alleged auto theft ring in May 2024. Troy police have reportedly been investigating the crime ring since August 2023.
The four Detroiters, charged with conducting a criminal enterprise:
• Davonta Jones, 31 — also charged with eight counts of receiving and concealing a stolen motor vehicle
• Donovan Tucker, 22 — also charged with eight counts of receiving and concealing a stolen motor vehicle
• Davion Tucker, 21 — also charged with seven counts of receiving and concealing a stolen motor vehicle
• Timothy Bell, 23 — also charged with 10 counts of receiving and concealing a stolen motor vehicle
The four defendants are allegedly responsible for auto thefts on more than a dozen occasions in 2024, according to the AG’s Office. The crime ring “is suspected of using countersurveillance to steal vehicles quickly and efficiently, allegedly using violence and ramming security vehicles if confronted,” the AG’s Office stated.
Troy police, Detroit police and Michigan State Police executed four arrest warrants on Jan. 2, resulting in the arrests. A “large quantity of electronic key fobs and cash” were seized, according to the AG’s Office.
Jones, Donovan Tucker and Davion Tucker were arraigned Jan. 3 in Dearbor’s 19th District Court, where bond was set at $500,000 cash/surety. They’re scheduled for a probable cause conference Jan. 17. Bell was arraigned Jan. 3 in Monroe’s 1st District Court where bond was set at $500,000 cash/surety. He’s scheduled for a probable cause conference Jan.14.
Interim Detroit Police Chief Todd Bettison says they took the 28-year-old driver into custody the following day.
Officer Cameron Richardson had just finished his shift Sunday morning and was on his way home when the suspect made an illegal turn and collided with his vehicle. The driver is accused of leaving the scene.
DPD and Richardson’s family have set up an online fund to support his two daughters.
“Officer Richardson served DPD with distinction, he served his country as an Army Ranger, and he will be truly missed,” a statement from DPD read Sunday afternoon.

Many make New Year’s resolutions to hit the gym more often, develop better work habits, or to be kinder or more generous to others. But embodying New Year’s goals takes practice, dedication and persistence. That kind of repetitive action we know as habits — something that we do again and again and again, until it feels like it’s part of us.
But how do we get to that point? Andrea Spyros, a behavior design consultant with BD3 Solutions, joined the show to dig into this topic and give some reassurance and advice on becoming your best self in 2025.
Spyros says success can be as simple as reframing your goals and thinking about them in a different way.
“Goals can also help us grow,” he said. “It’s really about who we become in the process of trying to attain that goal right, and how we experience ourselves.”
In the second hour of The Metro, we asked listeners:
“What are your goals for 2025?”
Carlos in Redford said he doesn’t have a resolution, but a word that’s helping him through the year.
“I have just a one word mantra for the new year, which is intentionality — just doing things more intentional when you actually get to doing them,” he said. “It can be overwhelming when you want to do this, do that, do that, and the other thing. But for example, if you want to visit your parents more, just make sure when you do it that you’re more intentional on the type of quality time you’re spending.”
Use the media player above to listen to the full conversation.
More headlines from The Metro on Jan. 7, 2024:
Every day, we’re exposed to chemicals that can affect our health. Endocrine-disrupting chemicals are of particular concern. They’re in everything from plastics and pesticides to personal care products. And they can alter how our hormones behave and lead to serious health problems and disease. Wayne State University Professor Christopher Kassostis studies these chemicals. He joined the show to discuss his work, helping us to better understand how endocrine-disrupting chemicals affect metabolic issues, like obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
The Detroit Police Department released its year-end crime report and recorded the lowest number of homicides since 1965. It’s the second consecutive year homicides have dropped in Detroit. City officials point to a relatively new community violence intervention program as the reason why. In 2023, the city partnered with six community groups to reduce gun violence. Zoe Kennedy, executive director of Force Detroit — one of the partnering organizations doing this work — joined the show.
Martin Luther King Jr. Day is coming up and to honor him, Hamtramck’s Planet Ant theatre is presenting the musical “Nixon/King,” a fictional account of a meeting between President Richard Nixon and MLK Jr. in a Georgia prison. To talk about the musical and the perceptions of these two figures, Assistant Director and actor Dylan Mirisola and actor Itaysha Walker both joined the show.

A Pontiac woman accused of animal abandonment faces a court hearing in Macomb County this week.
Karmen Schooly has a pretrial conference at 9 a.m. Friday, Jan. 9 before Macomb County circuit court before Judge Julie Gatti.
She faces two felonies and a misdemeanor over the care of a litter of seven puppies being fostered by Alicia Coleman of Lenox Township in 2023. If convicted, Schooly could face fines up to $2,000, up to two years in prison and 300 hours of community service.
Coleman sought help from Macomb County Animal Control for two of the seven puppies that had become ill. The county ultimately took the litter and cared for the dogs until they were adopted.
Macomb County filed felony charges for animal abandonment/cruelty and unauthorized health profession practice, and a misdemeanor count of owning an unauthorized animal shelter. A fourth charge, for practicing veterinary medicine without a license as added later. Schooly has entered a not-guilty plea to each count.
Oakland County’s animal shelter and adoption center ticketed Schooly in November, after removing 29 dogs and eight cats from her Argyle Street home in Pontiac. One of the cats had to be euthanized, according to county officials.
Schooly faces a felony charge in Oakland County for failing to provide adequate care to 25 or more animals and a misdemeanor charge of operating an unregistered animal shelter.
She does not have a scheduled hearing in Oakland County’s 50th District Court on that case, according to court records. If convicted in Oakland County, she could face up to even years in prison and up to $10,000 in fines and or with a minimum post-prison requirement for five years of probation and up to 500 hours of community service, as well as psychological counseling.
She may also face repaying the cost to the county for the cost of caring for the 36 surviving animals and possibly losing the right to own animals in the future.
As of early November, Schooly was still offering dogs to prospective new owners through TriCounty Animal Rescue, which she founded in 2018. But as of late last year, the adoptions did not carry associated costs. She did not respond to a message from The Oakland Press.
Editor’s note: This story has been updated to correct information about Schooly’s Oakland County case. She was arraigned at the district court before the case advanced to circuit court, where there are no upcoming hearings on the docket as of Monday, Jan. 6.
