STRETCHES INTO THE EVENING AS SOME WATCHES AND WARNINGS EXPIRE. NEW ONES POPPING UP TO
TAKE THEIR PLACE ON THE HEELS OF
SOME ROUGH CONDITIONS,
ESPECIALLY IN THE MICHIGAN
THUMB. TODAY THAT’S RIGHT.
>> THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE
IN DECKER. THAT’S SANILAC COUNTY
NEAR THE STORM THAT PRODUCED A
TORNADO WARNING. YES, THIS
IMAGE, JUST ONE OF MANY SENT TO
US THROUGH MY PIX WEEKEND, COULD
BRING SOME MORE STORMS TO KIM
ADAMS TRACKING IT ALL.
>> LET’S START WITH HER ON LOCAL
4 NEWS AT SIX. KIM
>> WELL, LET’S START WITH WHAT
WE STILL HAVE GOING ON. WE STILL
HAVE A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM
WARNING THAT INCLUDES PARTS OF
NORTHEASTERN MACOMB COUNTY OVER
INTO SAINT CLAIR COUNTY. SO I
WANT TO FOCUS ON THAT FIRST
DIRECTOR OVER THE CITY OF
RICHMOND. IT EXPIRES AT 645.
MAIN CONCERN FROM THIS STORM,
HIGH WINDS AND LARGE HAIL AS
MUCH AS AN INCH AND A QUARTER.
THAT’S GOLF BALL SIZED HAIL. SO
IF YOU LIVE IN CASCO OR NEW
HAVEN ALL THE WAY DOWN TO MARINE
CITY, YOU WANT TO BE KIND OF ON
ALERT HERE AS THIS WILL BE
MOVING THROUGH YOUR AREA VERY
SHORTLY. AN INCH AND A HALF HAIL
REPORTED IN RICHMOND. ALSO A LOT
OF HEAVY RAIN. WE’VE HAD A LOT
OF RAIN. AND EVEN THOSE TWO
THUNDERSTORMS, A TORNADO
WARNINGS UP TO OUR NORTH EARLIER
THIS AFTERNOON. SOON WE’RE
SEEING THIS LITTLE OUTFLOW
BOUNDARY HERE. IT’S LIKE AN AREA
LIKE A GUST FRONT WHERE IT IT’S
RAIN COOLED AIR AND SOME MORE
THUNDERSTORMS STILL FIRING ALONG
IT. BUT WE ALSO HAVE ONE CELL
DOWN HERE OVER MELVINDALE AND
ECORSE THAT I WANT TO GO A
LITTLE CLOSER IN ON. IT’S IN
LINCOLN PARK. NOT SEVERE, BUT IF
YOU’RE IN LINCOLN PARK,
EVENTUALLY TWO RIVER ROUGE AND
THEN DOWNTOWN DETROIT, YOU’LL
GET A GOOD SOAKING RAIN HERE,
POSSIBLY EVEN SOME THUNDER AND
LIGHTNING. BUT THAT IS NOT
SEVERE. THE ONLY SEVERE
THUNDERSTORM WARNING WE HAVE
RIGHT NOW IS UP TO OUR NORTH,
AND THAT EXPIRES AT 645. BUT I
WAS TALKING ABOUT THIS THIS THIS
GUST FRONT HERE. IT’S ALSO KNOWN
AS AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY. IT’S
RAIN COOLED AIR FROM A
THUNDERSTORM AND YOU CAN SEE
THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOP ALONG IT
AND YOU CAN SEE EXACTLY WHERE IT
IS. JUST LOOKING AT
TEMPERATURES. LOOK AT PORT HURON
IS AT 68 DEGREES. BUT YOU GO
OVER TO HOWELL AND IT’S 85. SO
REALLY, DEPENDING ON WHERE YOU
LIVE, DEPENDS ON WHAT YOU’RE
GETTING. THIS EVENING. WE’RE NOT
COMPLETELY OUT OF THE WOODS JUST
YET. UNTIL 8 OR 9:00 TONIGHT. WE
COULD STILL SEE A COUPLE OF
THUNDERSTORMS POP UP HERE AND
THERE. AND THEN TOMORROW WE GO
UNDER ANOTHER MARGINAL RISK FOR
SEVERE WEATHER. BUT IT DOES NOT
INCLUDE LIVINGSTON, OAKLAND AND
MOST OF MACOMB COUNTY. JUST THAT
BORDER RIGHT THERE AROUND THE
GROSSE POINTES INTO WAYNE
COUNTY. WE DO EXPECT ANOTHER
OTHER AREA OF LARGE HAIL,
LOCALIZED FLOODING, DAMAGING
WINDS, ROUND ONE IN THE MORNING,
ROUND TWO IN THE EVENING. I’LL
TIME IT OUT FOR YOU HOUR BY HOUR
IN JUST A COUPLE OF MINUTES.
>> ALL RIGHT, KIM, TONIGHT, WE
ARE GETTING MORE INSIGHT INTO
THE ARREST OF A FORD MOTOR
COMPANY EXECUTIVE, FRANK LOUIS
VICTOR, CEO OF FORD, NEXT LLC,
IS CHARGED WITH AGGRAVATED
FELONIOUS ASSAULT AND ARSON
INVOLVING HIS WIFE, LOCAL.
>> FORD’S ROD MELONI IS LIVE
TONIGHT WITH WHAT HE’S SEEING IN
THE POLICE REPORT. ROD
>> YEAH, WE JUST GOT THIS. IT
TALKS ABOUT BOTH SIDES OF WHAT
HAPPENED OVER THE WEEKEND IN
BLOOMFIELD TOWNSHIP. TURNS OUT
THE COUPLE ADMIT THAT THEY’RE ON
THE EDGE OF A DIVORCE HERE AND
THAT SUE KIM, THE WIFE, HAD GONE
AWAY FOR A WEEK OR TWO TO GO
SPEND TIME WITH HER FATHER, WHO
WAS AILING, RETURNED TO THE
HOUSE AND DISCOVERED THAT HER
CLOTHES HAD BEEN MOVED TO
ANOTHER BEDROOM. THAT’S WHEN
EVERYTHING STARTED. SUE KIM AND
FRANK LOUIS, VICTOR HAVE LIVED
THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS HERE IN
BLOOMFIELD TOWNSHIP OVER THE
WEEKEND, KIM RETURNED HOME AND
AN ARGUMENT STARTED OVER WHO
NEEDED TO MOVE OUT OF THE
BEDROOM. AS THINGS HEATED, KIM
TOLD BLOOMFIELD TOWNSHIP POLICE
HER HUSBAND REMOVED TWO ERM
PURSES AS WEDDING GIFTS WORTH
$10,000 EACH ONE BLACK AND ONE
WHITE FROM THE BEDROOM AND TOOK
THEM TO HIS WORKSHOP. THERE IN
THE BASEMENT. HE TOOK OUT A
BUTANE TORCH AND WHEN SHE
ATTEMPTED TO GRAB THE PURSES HE
WAVED THE LIT BUTANE TORCH
APPROXIMATELY TWO FEET FROM HER
FACE, SLAPPED HER WITH HIS OPEN
RIGHT HAND ALONG HER LEFT
JAWLINE AND YELLED, YOU DESERVE
IT. AND THEN THINGS ESCALATED.
THE REPORT SAYING SHE PUSHED HIM
AWAY AND HE YELLED, YOU FORCED
ME TO USE THE SPARE ROOM AND
THEN HEADBUTTED HER FOREHEAD.
FRANK ADMITTED TO POLICE HE DID
SLAP HIS WIFE, THOUGH NOT VERY
HARD, AND HE DENIES THIS. NEXT
PART. KIM TOLD POLICE THAT HE
STRUCK HER WITH HIS GOOGLE HUB.
SMART SCREEN ATTEMPTED TO WIPE
BLOOD AWAY WITH A TISSUE AND
CLAIMED HE STRUCK HER
ACCIDENTALLY. THE 50 YEAR OLD
LOUIS VICTOR HOLDS A LOFTY
POSITION AT FORD VICE PRESIDENT
OF NEW BUSINESS PLATFORMS AND
ALSO IS IN CHARGE OF THE FORD
NEXT SUBSIDIARY, EXPECTED TO
CREATE NEW REVENUE STREAMS. THE
JUDGE GRANTED A $25,000 CASH
BOND, WHICH HE POSTED. HE’S DUE
BACK IN COURT NEXT WEEK. NOW
THERE IS A STRANGE TWIST TO ALL
OF THIS. SUE KIM PUT OUT A
STATEMENT BASICALLY SAYING THAT
SHE LOVES HER HUSBAND VERY MUCH,
HAS NEVER SEEN THIS KIND OF
BEHAVIOR FROM HIM BEFORE AND
ASKED FOR PRIVACY AS THIS CASE
MOVES FORWARD. NOW BACK TO YOU.
>> ROD, WHAT ABOUT HIS JOB? WHAT
DO WE KNOW ABOUT HIS EMPLOYMENT
STATUS WITH FORD TONIGHT?
>> WELL, I SPOKE WITH THE FOLKS
OVER AT FORD TODAY. THEY TELL ME
HE IS STILL WITH THE COMPANY AND
IT LOOKS LIKE THEY WANT TO SEE
HOW THIS LEGAL PROCESS PLAYS OUT
BEFORE MAKING ANY DECISIONS.
OKAY.
>> WE APPRECIATE IT, ROD.
>> MICHIGAN STATE POLICE ARE
CALLED IN TO INVESTIGATE AFTER
LINCOLN PARK POLICE SHOT A MAN
OVERNIGHT. DETAILS ON WHAT
HAPPENED EXACTLY. PRETTY LIMITED
AT THIS HOUR. WE DO KNOW THERE
WAS SOME KIND OF ALTERCATION
BETWEEN A SUSPECT AND OFFICERS
IN THE 1500 BLOCK OF MARION. HE
TRIED TO DRIVE AWAY THEN WAS
CAPTURED NEAR I-75. AND SCHAEFER
IN DETROIT. THE SUSPECT IN THE
CASE IS IN THE HOSPITAL, THOUGH
IT’S EXPECTED HE’S GOING TO
RECOVER. THE ANIMAL SHELTER IN
TAYLOR IS CLOSED AND GETTING A
DEEP A DEEP CLEANING DUE TO A
CASE OF PARVO.
>> SHAWN LEY WENT THERE TO HAVE
A LOOK TODAY. OUR SEAN JOINS US
LIVE WITH WHAT DOG OWNERS SHOULD
KNOW ABOUT THIS SEAN WE ALL LOVE
OUR PETS, OUR DOGS AT A DOG PARK
, SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
>> YOU DON’T WANT YOUR DOG
SNIFFING SOMETHING THAT MAY HAVE
A DEADLY VIRUS IN IT. ONE CASE
OF PARVO NOW THAT’S POPPING UP.
WE HEARD ABOUT THIS YEARS AND
YEARS AGO, BUT NOW A NEW CASE
SHUTTING DOWN A LOCAL SHELTER.
HERE’S WHAT’S HAPPENING TO KEEP
YOUR DOG SAFE. HERE’S WHAT YOU
NEED TO KNOW. IT’S AN AIRBORNE
VIRUS THAT DOGS CAN GET MAINLY
FROM STOOLS OR IT’S CONTAGIOUS.
IT’S HIGHLY CONTAGIOUS DISEASE.
SIGNS ON THE DOORS OF THE TAYLOR
ANIMAL SHELTER MAKE IT CLEAR THE
FACILITY IS CLOSED. IT SHUT DOWN
WEDNESDAY. IT WILL NOT REOPEN
UNTIL NEXT WEEK. IT WILL NOT
ACCEPT ANIMALS COMING IN. THE 20
DOGS INSIDE ARE NOT BEING
ADOPTED OUT FOR NOW. A VIRUS
THAT SCARED ALL OF US DOG
LOVERS, DECADES AGO IS BACK. ONE
PUP WAS BROUGHT IN TO THE
SHELTER THIS WEEK, LATER FOUND
SUFFERING FROM PARVO. TAYLOR’S
MATT BONDS SAYS PARVO HASN’T
BEEN SEEN HERE IN SIX YEARS.
TAYLOR IS WORKING TO PREVENT AN
OUTBREAK. PARVO EVEN IMPACTING
HOW HE HAS TO SANITIZE HIS
CLOTHES AND SHOES AFTER BEING IN
THIS SHELTER. I HAVE THREE DOGS.
THEY ARE ALL KEPT UP ON SHOTS
BECAUSE OF SOMETHING LIKE THIS
HAPPENING. I’M WORKING IN HERE
BRINGING IT, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE
WE CAN BRING IT HOME ON US. IT’S
HIGHLY CONTAGIOUS. ONCE IT’S
AIRBORNE, IT CAN BE ON OUR
SHOES. IT CAN BE ON OUR CLOTHES.
PARVO VACCINES, THE KEY TO
PREVENTING THE DEADLY VIRUS IN
YOUR DOG AND PREVENTING THE
SPREAD. BUT DURING PANDEMIC
TIMES AND IN TODAY’S ECONOMY,
WHERE MONEY IS SO TIGHT, DOG
OWNERS MAY BE PUTTING OFF VET
VISITS. VACCINE AND HIGH VET
BILLS USHERING PARVO BACK IN.
ALARMED RIGHT AWAY BECAUSE
THERE’S ALL THE OTHER ANIMALS IN
THE SHELTER. YEAH. SHELTER DOGS
VERY SERIOUS SITUATION THERE
WITH ONE DOG TESTING FOR PARVO.
WE’RE ALL CONCERNED ABOUT VET
COSTS, BUT WE ALSO WANT TO TAKE
GOOD CARE OF OUR VETS. GUYS,
HERE’S THE DEAL THAT IN TAYLOR,
THEY DO OFFER A LOW COST VET
CLINIC TWO TIMES A MONTH AND
THAT PARVO SHOT, WHICH ALSO
INCLUDES OTHER THINGS FOR OTHER
VIRUSES, IS $64. SO SOMETHING TO
LOOK INTO IF YOU’VE BEEN PUTTING
THAT OFF FOR YOUR DOGS.
>> BACK TO YOU. SEAN, I DIDN’T
REALIZE HOW HIGHLY CONTAGIOUS
THIS IS. HAVE THERE BEEN ANY
SIGNS OF PARVO SPREADING AT THIS
POINT?
>> THIS IS WHY THIS IS ON THE
NEWS. YOU CAN THINK BACK MAYBE
20, 25 YEARS AGO. PARVO WAS A
BIG DEAL BEFORE PEOPLE REALLY
STARTED VACCINATING FOR IT. AND
PEOPLE WERE REALLY CONCERNED IT
WOULD SPREAD AND KILL THEIR
DOGS. HERE THEY HAVE THE ONE DOG
ISOLATED. IT’S DOING WELL AND
THEY’VE BEEN TESTING THE OTHER
DOGS AND IT HAS NOT SPREAD YET.
DOING A GOOD JOB KEEPING THINGS
CLEAN, KEEPING THINGS SHUT DOWN.
AND THEN THEY’LL REOPEN SOMETIME
NEXT MONTH, NEXT WEEK.
>> THAT DEEP CLEANING SHOULD
HELP. OKAY, SEAN, WE APPRECIATE
IT. A DETROIT CITY COUNCIL
MEMBER IS CALLING OUT
STELLANTIS, DEMANDING AN
EXPLANATION ABOUT THE STRONG
ODOR STILL COMING FROM ITS MAC
ASSEMBLY PLANT FOLLOWING YEARS
OF COMPLAINTS FROM RESIDENTS AND
SEVERAL VIOLATIONS ISSUED BY THE
STATE, THE AUTOMAKER SAID LAST
MONTH.
>> NEW TECHNOLOGY WAS INSTALLED
TO ELIMINATE THE STRONG SMELL.
WELL WE WENT BACK TO MAC AND
BENITO ON TO CHECK ON THE
SITUATION THIS WEEK AND THE ODOR
WAS STRONGER THAN ANY OF THE
SEVERAL PREVIOUS TIMES OUR
REPORTERS HAD BEEN THERE.
>> WELL, NOW, COUNCIL MEMBER
LETICIA JOHNSON IS CALLING ON
STELLANTIS TO INVESTIGATE THE
ISSUE IMMEDIATELY AND TO APPEAR
BEFORE THE COUNCIL TO EXPLAIN
WHAT’S GOING ON. SHE’S ALSO SHE
ALSO FEELS PEOPLE LIVING NEAR
THE PLANT SHOULD BE GIVEN THE
OPTION TO SWAP THEIR CURRENT
HOME FOR A DETROIT LAND BANK.
REHABBED AND READY HOME. AND FOR
THOSE WHO PREFER TO STAY, SHE
WANTS STELLANTIS TO PAY TO HAVE
THOSE HOMES RETRO FITTED WITH
NEW HVAC SYSTEMS AND AIR
FILTERS. WE’RE COMMITTED TO
FOLLOWING THIS STORY UNTIL
THERE’S A RESOLUTION, A BOAT.
>> EXPLAIN ROADS ON BELLEVILLE
LAKE IN WAYNE COUNTY. THE VESSEL
DESTROYED AND YET SOMEHOW ALL
FIVE PEOPLE ON BOARD SURVIVED.
DAYS LATER, MEGAN WOODS CAUGHT
UP WITH ONE OF THE PEOPLE WHO
MADE THAT POSSIBLE. MEGAN JOINS
US LIVE WITH THE STORY OF HOW A
DNR STAFF MEMBER HELPED WITH THE
RESCUE. MEGAN I CAN HARDLY EVEN
PICTURE THIS IN MY MIND.
>> IT IS AN INCREDIBLE STORY. SO
JUST IMAGINE YOU AND FOUR
FRIENDS OR MAYBE FOUR FAMILY
MEMBERS DECIDE TO SPEND THE
AFTERNOON ON THE BOAT ON
BELLEVILLE. LAKE WELL, THAT’S
WHAT HAPPENED HERE, EXCEPT THE
AFTERNOON TOOK A TURN FOR THE
WORSE. WE SPOKE TO THAT WOMAN
WHO NOT ONLY SAW IT AS IT
UNFOLDED, BUT SHE JUMPED INTO
ACTION.
>> I DIDN’T HAVE TIME TO THINK.
I DIDN’T HAVE TIME TO DO
ANYTHING. I JUST REACTED.
>> JUDY BROTHERS WORKS HERE AT
THE BELLEVILLE LAKE EAST BOAT
LAUNCH AND SAYS ONE MOMENT FIVE
PEOPLE ARE RELAXING ON A BOAT.
>> THEY WERE ACTUALLY PROBABLY
BE RIGHT BETWEEN THESE TWO HERE.
PROBABLY ABOUT TEN FEET OUT.
>> AND THE NEXT.
>> AND I HEARD AN EXPLOSION. SO
I LOOKED OUT THE WINDOW AND SAW
THE FIRE AND CALLED 911.
>> THE FIVE PEOPLE WERE STILL ON
THE BOAT.
>> THEY DID HAVE LIFE JACKETS ON
THE TWO THAT SAID THEY COULDN’T
SWIM. AND WE’RE JUST ME AND
OTHER PEOPLE DOWN THERE JUST
TELLING THEM TO GET OFF THE
BOAT, GET OFF THE BOAT. THEY
FINALLY JUMPED IN AND WITHIN
SECONDS, THAT BOAT JUST BLEW ALL
FIVE, MADE IT BACK TO THE DOCK,
SHAKEN UP BUT SAFE.
>> THAT WAS JULY 1ST. AND TODAY
, YOU NEVER KNOW WHOSE PEOPLE’S
LIVES YOU TOUCH, RIGHT?
>> NOPE. YEAH, WE’RE REALLY,
REALLY PROUD OF HER ACTIONS.
>> TRACY SINCOCK, JUDY’S PARK
SUPERVISOR, IS SHOWING HER
APPRECIATION. WHEN JUDY WAS
HIRED TO CHECK IN VISITORS AND
DOESN’T HAVE SPECIALIZED
EMERGENCY TRAINING, I THINK NO
ONE EVER REALLY UNDERSTOOD.
>> YOU KNOW, THEY NEVER REALLY
THINK ABOUT HOW THEY’RE GOING TO
REACT IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION.
THEY JUST ACT AND YOU’RE INNATE.
FEEL ABOUT WHAT YOU NEEDED TO
DO. JUST CAME INTO PLAY.
>> SO JUDY RECEIVED A SPECIAL
DNR COIN TO HONOR HER ACTIONS
FROM TRACY, BUT ALSO FROM HER
DIVISION LEADER. ALSO GOT A
HANDWRITTEN NOTE. BUT THEY PLAN
OR THEY AT LEAST HOPE TO HONOR
HER IN A MUCH BIGGER WAY IN THE
FUTURE. REPORTING LIVE, I’M
