DOWNTOWN. LOCAL 4 NEWS AT SIX STARTS NOW. PLACE VERY EXPECT YOUR BELONGINGS TO BE SAFE. WELL
NOW SOME TRAVELERS OR
QUESTIONING SECURITY AT DETROIT
METRO AIRPORT, TOPPING OUR NEWS
TONIGHT AT SIX, A FAMILY THAT
FLEW BACK FROM A HOLIDAY TRIP
FOUND THEIR BRAND NEW SUV LEFT
ON BLOCKS. THEY LEFT THEIR
VEHICLE PARKED INSIDE THE BIG
BLUE DECK AT THE EVANS TERMINAL
. SHAWN LEY JOINS US LIVE FROM
DETROIT METRO AIRPORT TONIGHT,
SEAN THERE SIMPLY LOOKING FOR
ANSWERS HERE. AND WE’RE ASKING
QUESTIONS OF DETROIT METRO. HOW
COULD THIS BE GUYS WERE AT AN
AIRPORT? A MAJOR AIRPORT? YOU
WOULD THINK WE’D BE SURROUNDED
BY SECURITY. BUT HOW’S THIS FOR
A WELCOME HOME? THE FAMILY JUST
TAKES A FEW DAYS OFF COMES BACK
HOME. THEY GO TO THE BIG BLUE
DECK AND FIND THEIR SUV LIKE
THIS. TAKE A LOOK. JOE HEY,
BECCA SHOT THIS VIDEO TO SHOW
YOU EXACTLY HOW HE FOUND HIS NEW
JEEP WAGONEER INSIDE DPW’S BIG
BLUE PARKING STRUCTURE THE
MOMENT HE GOT OFF A FLIGHT LAST
MONDAY, GOT OUT, OPENED UP THE
DOORS AND WALKED AROUND THE
CORNER AND NOTICED THE VEHICLE
JUST SITTING IN THE MIDDLE OF
THE GARAGE AND ON BLOCKS WITH
YOU KNOW, BOLTS AND NUTS ALL
OVER THE FLOOR AND CARS ALL
AROUND, BUT IT WAS JUST SITTING
THERE 22 INCH WHEELS COSTING
THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS GONE
POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE
FROM SITTING ON BLOCKS. HOW LONG
DID THIS TAKE? WHY DIDN’T
AIRPORT POLICE OR SECURITY? SEE
THIS? BTW POLICE TELL US TONIGHT
THERE ARE CAMERAS AND THERE IS
SECURITY IN ITS PARKING
STRUCTURES. BUT WHEN JOE CHECKED
BACK WITH AIRPORT POLICE REALLY
HAVE ZERO LEADS AT THIS POINT.
IT WAS KIND OF DISAPPOINTING SO
FAR. THEY’VE GOTTEN BACK WITH
ME, AND THEY SAID THAT THEY’VE
GONE THROUGH. HOURS AND HOURS OF
FOOTAGE. YOU KNOW, PEOPLE COMING
AND GOING OUT OF THE GARAGE, BUT
THEY REALLY HAVE NO LEADS AND AS
FAR AS CAMERAS INSIDE THE GARAGE
, IT SEEMS TO BE QUITE A LACK OF
CAMERAS BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO
FOOTAGE WHATSOEVER. BACK IN.
MAY, YOU MAN WAS ARRESTED FOR
HORRIFIC ATTEMPTED SEXUAL
ASSAULT OF A WOMAN IN THE BIG
BLUE DECK GARAGE, BUT WHAT ELSE
CAN GO ON IN THAT GARAGE
UNDETECTED? YOU KNOW OUR
CHILDREN BEING YOU KNOW, TAKEN
FROM THERE. I MEAN, IS THERE YOU
KNOW, YOU KNOW OTHER
TRANSACTIONS GOING ON. IT SEEMS
TO BE A FREE FOR ALL IN THERE.
IT’S NOT MONITORED WELL ENOUGH,
THAT’S FOR SURE. SOME VERY GOOD
QUESTIONS THERE A FEW MORE
PICTURES I WANT TO SHARE WITH
YOU BECAUSE, YES, WE’RE TALKING
ABOUT RIMS AND WHEELS STOLEN.
THOSE ARE EXPENSIVE, BUT A
RECORD HAD TO DRAG THIS SUV IN
THE GARAGE HERE INTO A POSITION
TO GET IT UP ON A RECORD. IT IS
UNCLEAR JUST HOW MUCH DAMAGE WAS
DONE. WE’VE BEEN ASKING BTW.
THEY’VE BEEN VERY RESPONSIVE TO
US TONIGHT, SAYING IN RESPONSE
TO RECENT THEFTS ARE AIRPORT
AUTHORITY, POLICE DEPARTMENT AND
SECURITY TEAMS HAVE ADDED
PATROLS ALSO WE’RE EXPLORING
INCREASING CAMERA COVERAGE AND
ADDING ADDITIONAL TECHNOLOGY AT
THE BIG BLUE DECK AND MCNAMARA
TERMINAL PARKING DECK. THERE’S
MORE TO THE STATEMENT FROM
DETROIT METRO. IT’S ON OUR
WEBSITE CLICKONDETROIT.COM GUYS
. ONE MORE THING. MY
PHOTOGRAPHER WALKED THROUGH HERE
FOR A GOOD 20 OR 30 MINUTES. HE
DID NOT SEE CAMERAS. HE DIDN’T
SEE ANY EXTRA PATROLS OR PATROLS
AT ALL. IT’S SOMETHING WE’RE
GOING TO BE LOOKING FOR GOING
FORWARD. REALLY JUST INCREDIBLE
. AND YOU’RE RIGHT. SO MANY
QUESTIONS REMAIN, JOHN, WE
APPRECIATE IT. THE MAN CHARGED
WITH MAKING IT ANTI SEMITIC RANT
OUTSIDE IN OAKLAND COUNTY TEMPLE
HAD ANOTHER ANGRY OUTBURST IN
COURT TODAY. ASSANGE SHAKUR IS
ACCUSED OF THREATENING
PRESCHOOLERS AND THEIR PARENTS
IN FRONT OF TEMPLE BETH EL IN
BLOOMFIELD TOWNSHIP FRIDAY. HE
WENT BEFORE A JUDGE YESTERDAY ON
ETHNIC INTIMIDATION CHARGES. HE
GAVE THE JUDGES THE MIDDLE
FINGER DURING THAT PROCEEDING
WELL TODAY WAS IN COURT AND
WAYNE COUNTY FOR AN EMERGENCY
BOND HEARING ON A SEPARATE
CHARGE THIS ON AN ASSAULT FROM
BACK IN 2020, AND AS THE JUDGE
WAS REVOKING HIS BOND. ON FOR
THAT. CORE MOONED THE COURT. NOW
HE HAS REMOVED HIS PANTS. TO
SHOW THE COURT HIS BACKSIDE
UNDERSTAND HIS BOND WAS SET AT A
MILLION DOLLARS IN THE COUNTY. I
DON’T KNOW IF HE CAN MAKE THAT.
UM BUT IN THE EVENT THAT HE DOES
, HE’S GONNA BE REMANDED IN THAT
HE COULD BE RIGHT HERE AND THEN
I’LL SEE A FEW. HE PULLS HIS
PANTS DOWN IN THE COURTROOM
MOONED THE COURT. I’M FAIRLY
CERTAIN THAT’S THE FIRST TIME
I’VE UTTERED THAT SENTENCE IN A
NEWSCAST CORE IS STILL IN JAIL
IN OAKLAND COUNTY. IF HE POST
BOND IN THE TEMPLE BETH EL
INCIDENT, HE WILL BE SENT RIGHT
TO THE WAYNE COUNTY JAIL.
UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN PROFESSOR
IS CLEARED TONIGHT OF CRIMINAL
CHARGES. PETER CHEN IS A
PROFESSOR OF ELECTRICAL
ENGINEERING AND COMPUTER SCIENCE
. HE WAS ACCUSED OF ASSAULTING
AN 11 YEAR OLD GIRL HE COACHED
DURING A ROBOTICS TOURNAMENT
FROM 2017 TO 2018 JEN WAS
CHARGED WITH FIRST DEGREE
CRIMINAL SEXUAL MISCONDUCT IN
JANUARY OF 2021. MONDAY JURORS
UNANIMOUSLY DELIVERED A NOT
GUILTY VERDICT AFTER
DELIBERATING SINCE FRIDAY.
TONIGHT, THE UNIVERSITY SAYS
OFFICIALS WILL REACH OUT TO
PROFESSOR CHEN TO CONSIDER THE
NEXT STEPS HE REMAINS ON PAID
ADMINISTRATIVE LEAVE. WE
SOMETIMES SEE ANIMALS IN THE
WILD GET THINGS STUCK ON THEIR
HEADS, AND IT CAN BE AMUSING. IT
CAN ALSO BECOME QUICKLY
DANGEROUS FOR THE ANIMAL CASE IN
POINT, BLOOMFIELD TOWNSHIP IN
THE WOODWARD SQUARE LAKE AREA,
YOUNG DEER HAS GOTTEN A
HALLOWEEN BUCKET STUCK ON ITS
HEAD. AS JASON COLTHORPE REPORTS
, THE LIST OF HUMANS TRYING TO
HELP IS GROWING. THIS IS A
DIFFERENT KIND OF DEER HUNT HERE
THAT POLICE FIRE NEIGHBORS AND
VOLUNTEERS, WHATEVER WE CAN DO
TO HELP OUT AND TRACK HER DOWN
OR SCOURING BACKYARDS AND WOODED
AREAS IN BLOOMFIELD TOWNSHIP,
TRYING TO HELP A DEAR THAT WAS
SPOTTED WITH A HALLOWEEN BUCKET
STUCK ON ITS HEAD. THINK IT
MIGHT BE A YOUNG BUCK, ACTUALLY,
BECAUSE I THINK THE STRAP CAUGHT
ON HIS ANTLERS. CARO SAW THE
DEER ON HOME SURVEILLANCE
SATURDAY AND HAS BEEN TRYING TO
HELP EVER SINCE THAT NIGHT. I
ACTUALLY WENT OUT WITH A BLANKET
, HOPING THAT I COULD TOSS THE
BLANKET OVER THE DEER’S HEAD TO
HELP SUBDUE IT TO TRY TO GET THE
BUCKET OFF, BUT BECAUSE IT HAS
FULL USE OF ITS SITE IT RAN AWAY
RIGHT AWAY. NEVER IN 21 YEARS
HAD A PUMPKIN STUCK ON A DEER’S
HEAD. TOWNSHIP FIREFIGHTERS HAVE
ALSO BEEN ON THE HUNT. LAST
THING I WANT TO SEE HER C IS A
DEER SUFFER, AND THIS IS GOING
TO BE A DEAR SUFFERING. IT CAN’T
EAT OR DRINK. IT CAN SEE,
HOWEVER, WHICH LETS IT RUN
AROUND. HOWEVER IT’S ONLY TO BE
ABLE TO DO THAT FOR SO LONG.
TODAY, I PUT IN A CALL TO THE
GROUP IN DEFENSE OF ANIMALS AND
THAT BROUGHT SOME MORE
VOLUNTEERS OUT WERE THE GROUND
CREW. WE USUALLY DO WATERFALL
RESCUE. YOU’RE PROBABLY
WONDERING, WHAT ARE WE ACTUALLY
GOING TO DO IF WE FIND THIS DEER
OUT HERE SOMEWHERE? AND TO BE
HONEST, I DON’T THINK ANYBODY
HAS ACTUALLY WORKED THAT
THROUGH. BUT THE IDEAL CITY
SITUATION WOULD BE THAT SOMEBODY
ACTUALLY FINDS THE BUCKET LYING
ON THE GROUND. I DON’T WANT TO
SEE AN ANIMAL SUFFERING. IT
SHOULDN’T BE. YEAH IT IS. REALLY
UNFORTUNATELY, WE DIDN’T SEE THE
DEER TODAY OR FIND A BUCKET
LAYING AROUND. COINCIDENTALLY
ANOTHER DEER, THOUGH, WAS SEEN
IN THE SAME SITUATION IN TROY
RECENTLY. AND POLICE TELL ME
THAT WENT ON FOR NINE DAYS UNTIL
IT WAS ABLE TO GET THAT BUCKET
OFF AND SOMEONE FOUND IT. SO
THEY KNEW THAT THE DEER WAS
OKAY. GOOD QUESTION. WHAT DO YOU
DO IF YOU FIND IT? BECAUSE I
MEAN, DO THEY NEED TO USE A
TRANQUILIZER GUN? I MEAN, THAT
SORT OF THING HAVE ASKED THAT
THEY CAN’T FOR SEVERAL REASONS,
ONE OF THEM BEING THERE’S
CHEMICALS THAT GET INTO NOW IT’S
IN THE FOOD SUPPLY, BUT THERE
ARE OTHER REASONS WHY IT COULD
ACTUALLY KILL THE ANIMAL. BUT
BESIDES THAT, I DID FIND OUT. I
JUST GOT A TEXT FROM SOMEBODY
INVOLVED IN THE CASE, WHO SAID
THE POLICE PUT UP AND THERMAL
IMAGING DRONE TODAY TO TAKE A
LOOK, SO HOPEFULLY THEY COME
ACROSS ACROSS THIS AND THERE’S A
HAPPY ENDING. YOU KNOW, WILD
PROBLEM, THOUGH. TERRIBLE YEAH,
THANKS. JASON COVID CASES ARE UP
IN MICHIGAN OVER THE LAST WEEK,
THE STATE IS REPORTING 11,918
NEW CASES OVER THE PAST SEVEN
DAYS. THAT’S AN AVERAGE OF ABOUT
1700 CASES PER DAY. IT’S AN
INCREASE OF ABOUT 35% FROM THE
WEEK PRIOR, AND SADLY, WE’VE
LOST ANOTHER 242 LIVES TODAY,
THE EFFECT OF DIET HIGH IN
PROCESSED FOODS MIGHT HAVE ON
YOUR BRAIN. ALSO JUST HOW GOOD
IS THIS YEAR’S FLU VACCINE
FIRST, DR FRANK MCGEORGE IS HERE
WITH THE IMPORTANT BENEFIT
HEARING. AIDS CAN HAVE ON YOUR
RISK OF DEMENTIA, FRANK, EXACTLY
HUMAN DE’VEON. SO A NEW STUDY
INDICATES HEARING AIDS MAY HELP
DELAY OR REDUCE DEMENTIA AND
COGNITIVE DECLINE. NOW THERE’S
PRIOR RESEARCH THAT SHOWS
HEARING LOSS IS AN IMPORTANT
RISK FACTOR FOR DEMENTIA. WHAT
HAS NOT BEEN CLEAR IS WHETHER
TREATING IT WOULD HELP PREVENT
PROGRESSION OF COGNITIVE DECLINE
. THIS REVIEW FOUND PEOPLE WHO
WORE HEARING AIDS PERFORMED 3%
BETTER ON COGNITIVE SCORES IN
THE SHORT TERM. AND THEY WERE
ALSO ASSOCIATED WITH A 19%
REDUCTION IN LONG TERM COGNITIVE
DECLINE. CONTINUING ON THE THEME
OF AVOIDING DEMENTIA, A NEW
STUDY SUGGESTS. IF MORE THAN 20%
OF YOUR DAILY CALORIE INTAKE IS
ULTRA PROCESSED FOODS, YOU MAY
BE RAISING YOUR RISK FOR
COGNITIVE DECLINE. THE STUDY
FOLLOWED MORE THAN 10,000
BRAZILIANS FOR UP TO 10 YEARS
AND IT FOUND THE PART OF THE
BRAIN INVOLVED IN EXECUTIVE
FUNCTIONING. THAT’S THE ABILITY
TO PROCESS INFORMATION AND MAKE
DECISIONS IS ESPECIALLY HARD HIT
NOW. FINALLY, ACCORDING TO THE
CDC, THIS YEAR’S FLU SHOT
APPEARS TO BE A GOOD MATCH OF
THE CIRCULATING STRAINS. BUT
THEY SAY VACCINATIONS ARE
LAGGING COMPARED TO PREVIOUS
YEARS THROUGH THE END OF OCTOBER
. CDC DATA SHOWS VACCINATIONS
FOR PREGNANT WOMEN, SENIORS AND
CHILDREN WERE DOWN COMPARED TO
2021 NOW FLU SEASON ALSO STARTED
EARLIER THIS YEAR IN THE US, WE
ARE ALREADY SEEING
HOSPITALIZATION RATES AT LEVELS
THAT ARE NOT TYPICALLY SEEN
UNTIL MUCH LATER IN THE FLU
SEASON. TROUBLE THAT PEOPLE
PEOPLE LIKE YOU WERE PREDICTING
BY BECOMING, I ASSUME THIS IS
JUST VACCINE FATIGUE, RIGHT
PEOPLE JUST BEING TIRED OF BEING
TOLD TO GO GET ANOTHER SHOT.
THAT’S WHAT WE THINK IT IS. I
MEAN, THERE’S CERTAINLY NO SHORT
SHORT SUPPLY OR ANYTHING LIKE
THAT. SO PEOPLE JUST NEED TO GO
OUT AND DO IT. ALL RIGHT, DOC.
ALL RIGHT TIME NOW FOR A CHECK
OF THE WEATHER AS WE LOOK AT OUR
DOWNTOWN SKY CAM OVERLOOKING
BEAUTIFUL CAMPUS MARTIUS, SOME
FOLKS ENJOYING A NICE NIGHT ON
THE ICE RINK DOWN THERE THERE.
THERE COULD BE A CHANCE OF SOME
BRAIN, THOUGH IN SOME AREAS
TONIGHT, SO LET’S GET OVER TO
PAUL GROSS WITH A LOOK AT THE
FORECAST HIGH POLY, NOT EARLY
EVENINGS. THAT’S GOOD NEWS FOR
THE SKATERS, AND IT’S GOOD NEWS
ALSO FOR THE HOLIDAY SHOPPERS
OUT THERE, WHATEVER YOU HAVE
PLANNED, ANYHOW EXACT TRACK 40
RADAR SHOWING THAT WE ARE DRY
ACROSS THE AREA. WE’RE STILL
WATCHING THAT STRIPE TO THE
NORTH HERE. BUT THAT’S GOING TO
STAY TO THE NORTH. WE’RE NOT
WATCHING THAT. WHAT WE’RE
WATCHING IS ACTUALLY TO THE
SOUTHWEST OF US, AND I’M NOT
SEEING ANYTHING YET. WE’RE STILL
EXPECTING A FEW SPOTTY LITTLE
PATCHES OF DRIZZLE AND SHOWERS
TO DEVELOP AND MOVE
NORTHEASTWARD ACROSS THE AREA,
SO WE’LL KIND OF KEEP AN EYE ON
THAT THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS.
BUT HERE AGAIN IS THAT SKY CAM
SHOT? LOOK AT THAT MAN. I TELL
YOU WHAT A GREAT NIGHT TO BE ON
THE ICE THERE. IT’S A GREAT 44
DEGREES RIGHT NOW IN DETROIT,
AND THE COOL SPOTS ARE DOWN IN
THE LOW FORTIES RIGHT NOW, SO
IT’S KIND OF A MILD EVENING OUT
THERE. NO WIND OUT THERE AT ALL.
SO THAT MEANS NO WINDSHIELD.
LIKE I SAY, IT’S A GREAT
SHOPPING EVENING, SO VERY LITTLE
CHANGE IN TEMPERATURE AS WE HEAD
THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS AND
AGAIN. I THINK THE SHOWER’S
GONNA DEVELOP LATER. I THINK OUR
EARLY EVENING PLANS ARE GOING TO
BE FINE. AND THE TEMPERATURE
TREND HAS THIS KIND OF SLIPPING
A BIT. BUT LOOK AT TOMORROW NEAR
50 BUT SLIPPING A BIT AND THEN
STARTING TO COME UP AGAIN INTO
NEXT WEEK, WE’LL BE BACK TO TALK
ABOUT FRIDAY STORM JUST A BIT,
BUT DON’T FORGET THE FOREWARN
WEATHER APP IS THE NATION’S BEST
WEATHER APP. THAT’S BECAUSE WE
DESIGNED IT OURSELVES AND
ACTUALLY BUILT IT OURSELVES IN
