📰 News we're reading

• Michigan Tattoo Artist's Flock Camera Post Reaches 2 Million Views, Sparks Vandalism Reports (wrif.com) — A New Baltimore tattoo artist's joking Instagram offer of a free tattoo for anyone bringing him a Flock camera went viral, drawing images of damaged devices and concern from law enforcement. For New Baltimore residents, it's notable because the city council has already approved spending $7,500 on two Flock cameras to monitor license plates and vehicle traffic.
   

• Kim Mathers has been released from jail, reportedly is in rehab facility (macombdaily.com) — One of Kim Mathers' pending drunk-driving cases is moving through 42-2 District Court in New Baltimore, where she faces a felony operating-while-intoxicated third-offense charge with a possible five-year sentence. Recently released from the Macomb County Jail and reportedly in rehab, she has multiple October court dates tied to separate driving and assault-on-officer allegations across Macomb County.
   

• Plenty of movement in Macomb County football rankings (macombdaily.com) — Macomb County's latest high school football rankings keep Romeo on top while showing big movement elsewhere, including New Baltimore's Anchor Bay slipping out of the top 10 but still "bubbling under." For New Baltimore fans, it's a sign the Tars remain on the radar but need stronger results to climb back into the county's elite group.
