DETROIT.
LOCAL 4 NEWS AT 11:00 STARTS NOW.
>> THE DECIBEL LEVEL JUMPS HERE.
BECAUSE THERE IS A FREEWAY ON
OUR SIDE OF THE BERM HERE.
COMING UP, WHY THIS NEIGHBORHOOD
CANNOT GET A SOUND WALL.
LOCAL CEMETERY CAN.
>> IT WAS HIS LIFE LINE.
PICKUP TRUCK ELDERLY DISABLED
MAN HAD SAVED UP TO BUY.
>> HE CAME UP TO WINDOW AND
POINTED A GUN.
>> HAD IT LESS THAN A MONTH
BEFORE CARJACKED BEATEN ON
DETROIT’S EASTSIDE.
>> TONIGHT HE IS OUT OF THE
HOSPITAL.
AFTER BEING EXHIBITED AND PUNCH"
AND THROWN ON GROUND.
>> HE HAS HIS LIFE BUT NOT LIFE
LINE HE USED TO GET AROUND.
MARA MACDONALD IS LIVE AT POLICE
HEADQUARTERS.
MARA WITHOUT THAT TRUCK HE IS
ESSENTIALLY HOMEBOUND?
>> Reporter: HE IS KIMBERLY.
HE HAS A SCOOTER.
THAT IS GREAT.
SOME REALLY NICE NEIGHBORS
TRYING TO HELP.
BUT OTHER THAN THAT.
RIGHT NOW.
HE IS STUCK.
>> I HAVE BEEN IN THIS CHAIR FOR
THREE YEARS.
>> ROBERT IS ASKING US NOT TO
SHOW HIS FACE, WORRIED ATTACKER
WILL RETURN.
>> I WAS DETERMINED TO GET ME A
VEHICLE.
SO I FIGURED, YOU KNOW, AT LEAST
I WILL HAVE MY MOBILITY AND I
SAVED AND SAVED I COULDN’T
BUYING 2000 FORD F-150 HERITAGE
PICKUP LIKE THIS ONE.
BUT IN BLUE COLOR.
ROBERT HAS NON-FUNCTIONING HIP.
AND HE CAN STAND ON ONE LEG.
>> I OPENED BACK DOOR AND PUT MY
WALKER IN THERE.
CLOSED IT.
GOT IN TRUCK.
OFF I WENT.
>> ON AUGUST 7 HE WAS DRIVING
HOME AND AT THE INTERSECTION OF
CHARLAVOY AND BWIK EASTSIDE.
>> I CAME UP TO STOP SIGN.
GUY COMES UP.
POINTS 45 IN MY FACE, SAID GET
OUT.
>> HE DOES WHAT HE IS TOLD.
MOVED SLOWLY.
ATTACKER GRABBED 71-YEAR-OLD BY
HAIR.
THREW FRAIL FRAME OUT OF THE
TRUCK AND PUNCHED AND KICKED.
HE BLACKED OUT.
>> I WAS LAYING ON GROUND.
EMS STANDING OVER ME.
I COULDN’T GET UP.
NO WALKER.
>> BACK HERE LIVE.
THAT’S RIGHT.
NOT ONLY DID THIS CARJACKER TAKE
THE PICKUP TRUCK BUT THE WALKER
WAS IN BACKSEAT AREA OF THE
PICKUP TRUCK.
SO HE WAS OUT OF BOTH.
HE SPENT TWO DAYS IN HOSPITAL.
HOSPITAL HELPED HIM OUT WITH A
WALKER.
AT LEAST HE HAS A WALKER.
HE HAS A SKEW TERM BUT HE
DESPERATELY NEEDS THAT TRUCK.
IF YOU SEE THAT 2004 MODEL IN
BLUE COLOR, DRIVING AROUND A
NEIGHBORHOOD.
AND IT SEEMS TO BE NEW.
NOT REALLY SOMETHING THAT HAS
BEEN THERE IN THE PAST.
DPD WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM YOU.
THEY ARE WORKING THIS CASE RIGHT
NOW.

GO-FUND-ME TO RAISE FUNDS FOR

WE SPOKE TO GOVERNOR WHITMER

GREEN RIGHT THERE REOPEN AT ANY
TIME SOON?
>> YOU KNOW I WOULD LOVE TO GET
PEOPLE BACK IN GYMS.
I KNOW GYMS HAVE MOVED TRAINING
OUTSIDE.
THAT’S A WORK AROUND THEY HAVE
NOW.
BUT CERTAINLY IN MICHIGAN WE
KNOW THIS WEATHER.
THIS BEAUTIFUL WEATHER WE HAVE

HAVE PROTOCOLS TO KEEP PEOPLE

>> NEXT BRIEFING IS TOMORROW.
2:00.
YOU CAN WATCH IT LIVE HERE ON
LOCAL 4.
AND WE WILL STREAM IT ON
CLICKONDETROIT.COM.
>> HOMEOWNERS IN TROY HAVE A
NOISE PROBLEM.
NO GRUDGE BAND OR A FRATERNITY
MOVED IN.
BECAUSE 75 RUNS BEHIND THE
SUBDIVISION.
>> NEIGHBORS HAVE BEEN FIGHTING
FOR A SOUND WALL FOR FOUR YEARS.
SO FAR NO LUCK.
AND NOW, THEY HAVE WATCHED OTHER
AREAS GET WALLS.
JASON COLTHORP LIVE IN TROY WITH
MORE ON HOW LOUD IT GETS THERE,
JASON?
>> Reporter: SO LOUD DEVIN,
YOU WILL BE JUDGE FOR YOURSELF
HERE IN A MINUTE.
AND I WANT TO POINT OUT WE HAVE
NOT BOOSTED THE AUDIO LEVELS FOR
THIS STORY.
BUT BASICALLY, THESE HOMEOWNERS ARE UPSET BECAUSE THEY FEEL THEY
ARE UPSET BECAUSE THEY FEEL THEY
DESERVE A SOUND WALL AS MUCH AS
ANYONE ELSE UP AND DOWN 75 HERE.
WHAT SET THEM OFF RECENTLY IS
SOUND WALL LIKE THIS WENT UP IN SEVERAL PLACES.
SEVERAL PLACES.
CLING RIGHT ALONG WHITE CHAPEL
CEMETERY.
>> ANY CHANCE OF A PEACEFUL
EVENING IN BEACH FOREST
SUBDIVISION IS OFTEN DROWNED OUT
BY TRAFFIC ON 75.
THE NATURAL SOUND BARRIER CLING
SEVERAL TREES WAS REMOVED AS
PART OF CONSTRUCTION FOUR YEARS
AGO.
AND HAS SINCE BEEN REPLACED.
>> CUT DOWN HUGE TREES THAT WERE
HERE BEFORE WE WERE BORN.
PUT UP BABIES.
BY THE TIME BABIES ARE NOISE
BARRIERS WE WILL BE DEAD.
>> FOR SEVERAL BLOCKS SOUTH OF
HERE, THEY ARE GETTING NOISE AND
THEY CANNOT EVEN -- THEY
COMPLAIN THEY CAN NOT OPEN
WINDOWS.
>> EDWARDS HAS BEEN LOBBYING
M-DOT FOR FOUR YEARS FOR SOUND
WALL.
AND SO FAR HAS BEEN TOLD THE
NEIGHBORHOOD DOES NOT MEET
REQUIREMENTS.
RECENTLY SEEING WHERE THE SOUND
WALL HAS BEEN GOING UP HAS
BECOME A POINT OF FRUSTRATION.
>> THERE IS A WALL AROUND WHITE
CHAPEL CEMETERY.
I SAID WE ARE ALIVE PAYING TAXES
THEY ARE RESTING PEACEFULLY.
NO ISSUE WITH NOISE LEVEL.
SO INCONSISTENT.
>> MY REACTION IS LOUD ENOUGH TO
WAKE THE DEAD SO THEY MUST BUILD
A WALL FOR CEMETERY.
>> M-DOT SAID SOUND WALL IS NOT
FOR DEPARTED BUT ADJACENT
APARTMENT COMPLEX.
STILL HOMEOWNERS FEAR NOT AT
LEAST GETTING DECIBEL LEVEL THEY
HAD AT ONE POINT COULD LOWER
PROPERTY VALUES.
>> WE WILL PROBABLY LOSE
PROPERTY VALUE.
PEOPLE SEEING THIS ON TV.
WILL NOT WANT TO LIVE ON
BELMONT.
SO HURTS FINANCIALLY.
>> THE BOTTOM LINE HERE.
IS HOMEOWNERS WANT M-DOT TO
REEVALUATE THIS.
AND POSSIBLY INCORPORATE MORE
HOMES INTO THE STUDY.
WHICH WOULD GET COST BENEFIT
ANALYSIS IN LINE TO MEET THAT
REQUIREMENT.
BUT IN TALKING TO M-DOT ABOUT
THIS.
IT STRESSED TO ME IT HAS DONE
EXTENSIVE STUDY WITH THIS
NEIGHBORHOOD.
I GET THE FEELING THINGS ARE NOT
ABOUT TO CHANGE.
BACK TO YOU.
>> WELL, HOW HIGH OF A DECIBEL
LEVEL ARE WE TALKING ABOUT?
>> THRESHOLD IS 65-DECIBELS.
AND NEIGHBORHOOD MEETS THAT.
IT AVERAGES 67.
SO THAT’S A FULFILLED
REQUIREMENT.
AND AS A REPORTER, YOU TALK TO
PEOPLE.
YOU DON’T -- YOU TAKE THINGS
WITH A GRAIN OF SALT.
MANY TIMES PEOPLE SAID WE CAN BE
IN FRONT YARD AND NOT HEAR EACH
OTHER TALKING.
BUT AFTER WE WERE DONE WITH OUR
INTERVIEW I TALKED TO NEIGHBOR.
ON STREET THERE.
AND I REALLY HAD TO STRAIN TO
HEAR HIM AND WE WERE 5 OR 6 FEET
AWAY FROM EACH OTHER.
IT IS LOUD.
THEY HAVE A PROBLEM.
YOU CAN UNDERSTAND FRUSTRATION.
>> ALRIGHT.
