• Sunday stabbing in Lapeer city park reportedly faked by victim (sanilacbroadcasting.com) — Lapeer Police say a reported stabbing at Rowden Park on August 14 was fabricated, and the 23-year-old man involved now faces charges including filing a false report and child abuse. Investigators believe he injured himself at a separate Lapeer business during another alleged crime, diverting police resources before the case was clarified. 
• Local Heroes: Proceeds from "Little Dude Skeletons" helping victims of domestic violence (midmichigannow.com) — A Mid-Michigan domestic violence survivor is using her handmade “Little Dude Skeletons” art to raise money for LACADA, the Lapeer Area Citizens Against Domestic Assault. By donating a dollar from every sale, she’s supporting local services for survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking while also raising awareness about abuse in the Lapeer community.
