A Wayne County Consultant was negotiating for both sides of a $533 million deal. The definition of a conflict-of-interest. Tony Saunders was simultaneously working for Dan Gilbert’s Rock Ventures as well as consulting for Wayne County on their deal to develop a new county jail. The County’s Auditor says it is a clear breach of ethics; county commissioners were not notified and he did not file any required disclosures.
In a case of Detroit road rage, one driver shot at another car on I-94 near M-10 and hit a man in the leg, just around rush hour. Yeah, it is totally safe to pass-through Detroit on the highway…
In yet another tragic child death: a 7-year-old girl was killed while crossing I-94 by the Detroit Airport at 3am. What? How? Her father, totally drunk, ran off I-94 and struck an abandoned vehicle and came to a rest at some fencing. His daughter texted 911 for help for her father and began walking along I-94 to get help when a car struck and killed her.
In injustice news, James Saltmarshall of Inkster, sadly fell asleep and rolled onto his 8-month old daughter, suffocating her to death. The medical examiner confirmed this is exactly what occurred. But hospital staff and the Inkster police concocted a story of rape/murder of his daughter. Thankfully, the charges were dismissed – so now he’s suing 3 detectives and the doctors that conspired to frame him for sexual assault and murder.
Not a Dream Cruise for this guy: a 39-year old from Bloomfield Hills lost control of his Lamborghini Huracan on Woodward and Long Lake. He smashed into a tree in the center median, destroying the car and was arrested for DUI.
