• St. Clair County student named in Cornell University 'gang rape' lawsuit (macombdaily.com) — Sterling Heights officials moved quickly to clarify that the city has never employed Cornell lawsuit defendant Scott Kretzschmar, after social media posts wrongly linked him to the local police department.
