SHAWN LEY LOCAL FORD BACK TO
REMINDER BECAUSE YOU DO SEE THEM
ALL OVER TOWN, SEAN, WE
APPRECIATE IT. A STRETCH OF I 6
96 REMAINS CLOSED TONIGHT AFTER
A DEADLY CRASH SHOULD HAPPEN
THIS MORNING IN THE WESTBOUND
LANES NEAR THE 2 75 INTERCHANGE
, STATE POLICE SAY THE 57 YEAR
OLD SEMI TRUCK DRIVER REAR ENDED
A BUICK LACROSSE STARTING A
CHAIN REACTION. THAT INVOLVED AT
LEAST THREE OTHER VEHICLES. THE
DRIVER AND PASSENGER INSIDE THE
BUICK WERE KILLED INSTANTLY TO
OTHER DRIVERS HAVE BEEN TAKEN TO
THE HOSPITAL WITH NON LIFE
THREATENING INJURIES. THIS WAS
THE VIDEO OF A TEENAGER’S ARREST
IN WAR THAT WENT VIRAL TWO WEEKS
AGO, LEADING TO THE OFFICER
INVOLVED BEING PUT ON LEAVE
TONIGHT. A TEENAGER’S TALKING
ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED. HE TALKED
WITH OUR MEGAN WOODS, WHO IS
WITH US NOW LIVE, MEGAN. IT’S A
VIDEO THAT’S DIFFICULT TO WATCH.
BUT FOR THE 17 YEAR OLD WHO WAS
ARRESTED IN THAT VIDEO, TYLER
WADE, IT’S EVEN HARDER. HIS
ATTORNEYS ARE LOOKING AT THIS
VIDEO AND DOING THEIR OWN
INVESTIGATION. TYLER’S MOTHER,
WE SPOKE TO HER, TOO, AND SHE
GOT EMOTIONAL TALKING ABOUT THAT
VIDEO SEEING THAT THEY PULLED
HIM OUT THAT CAR. AND THEY JUST
BEAT ON HIM. BIANCA WADE SAYS
SHE’S JUST GLAD HER 17 YEAR OLD
SON, TYLER IS STILL ALIVE. TYLER
SAYS HE CAN’T REMEMBER
EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED BUT HAS
THE INJURIES AND MEDICAL BILLS
TO SHOW FOR. IT HAD BLURRED
VISION IN MY RIGHT EYE. I HAVE
EXTREME HEADACHES AND DIZZINESS
AND THE BRACES ON HIS FRONT
TOOTH WERE KNOCKED OFF. TYLER IS
NOW FACING A FLEETING AND
ELUDING THIRD DEGREE CHARGE, A
WEAPONS VIOLATION AND A
MARIJUANA CHARGE. THERE WAS NO
WEAPON INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE OR
ON TYLER’S PERSON. HE DID
EXACTLY AS HE WAS TOLD TO DO. HE
RAISED HIS HANDS. AND
SURRENDERED, POLICE COMMISSIONER
BILL DWYER SAYS EXCESSIVE USE OF
FORCE IS NOT AND WILL NOT BE
TOLERATED INTERNAL AFFAIRS
DIVISION. REVIEWED ALL OF THE
EVIDENCE AND FOUND THAT ONLY ONE
OFFICER OF THE ARTERIES AT THE
SCENE WERE OUT OF POLICY WHEN IT
COMES TO USE OF FORCE. THAT
OFFICER WAS IMMEDIATELY PLACED
ON ADMINISTRATIVE LEAVE FOR HIS
ACTIONS AND ISSUED WHAT THE
POLICE COMMISSIONER REFERS TO AS
A LENGTHY DISCIPLINARY
SUSPENSION. OFFICERS ARE
OBLIGATED TO PROTECT THE RIGHTS
OF THE PUBLIC. INCLUDING THOSE
ACCUSED OF HAVING COMMITTED
CRIMES. TYLER’S ATTORNEYS SAY HE
DOESN’T HAVE A CRIMINAL
BACKGROUND. BUT HE’S BACK IN
COURT LATER THIS MONTH, AND THEY
ARE PLANNING TO FILE SOME SORT
OF LAWSUIT. BACK TO YOU. ALL
RIGHT, MEGAN. WE ARE GETTING A
BREAK FROM THE INTENSE HEAT. I’M
NOT A METEOROLOGIST, BUT I WOULD
CALL TODAY JUST ABOUT PERFECT AS
YOU TAKE A LIVE LOOK FROM ACROSS
THE RIVER. THAT’S RIGHT. BRETT
IS HERE WITH WHAT WE CAN EXPECT
. IF YOU HAVE PLANS OUTSIDE
TONIGHT, LOOKING PRETTY GOOD,
BRETT. GOOD GRILLING WEATHER.
GOOD POOL. GOOD BEACH. ALL THE
THINGS OUTSIDE EXPECTED THIS
EVENING AS MOST OF US ARE
SITTING IN THE UPPER SEVENTIES,
BUT STILL SOME SPOTS ARE STILL
IN THE LOW EIGHTIES, RIGHT WHERE
WE SHOULD BE THIS TIME OF THE
YEAR. THE COOL EXCEPTION
CONTINUES TO BE POURED HERE ON
WITH THAT. BREEZE OFF LAKE HURON
. HERE’S THE IMPORTANT NUMBER DO
POINT. MOST OF US ARE SITTING
SOMEWHERE ON THAT 50 DEGREE
RANGE. NOW, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN
? ANYTIME THAT NUMBER IS BELOW
59 DEGREES. IT’S JUST REALLY
PLEASANT ABOVE THAT. THEN WE
START FEELING MUGGY, TROPICAL
LIKE ALMOST FLORIDA, LIKE SO
NONE OF THIS IN STORE THE NEXT
COUPLE OF DAYS SUNDAY, THOUGH WE
DO SEE HIGHER VALUES COME BACK,
AND WE’LL TALK ABOUT THAT IN
JUST A BIT. BUT FOR THIS EVENING
VERY PLEASANT, WITH THE DRY AIR
IN PLACE. NUMBERS FALL PRETTY
QUICKLY, ALREADY IN THE SIXTIES
BY MIDNIGHT THIS WEEKEND. A
LITTLE BIT HARDER, A LITTLE BIT
MORE MUGGY, AND THEN SOME RAIN
WILL TIME IT UP FOR YOU IN JUST
A BIT. ALRIGHT. BRETT THE TRIAL
FOR THE TEENAGER ACCUSED IN THE
OXFORD HIGH SCHOOL SHOOTING HAS
BEEN DELAYED. ATTORNEYS FOR
ETHAN CRUMBLEY ASKED FOR THE
DELAY BECAUSE THE LARGE AMOUNT
OF EVIDENCE TO SORT THROUGH
PROSECUTORS AGREED TO THE TRIAL
WAS PUSHED FROM SEPTEMBER NOW ON
INTO JANUARY OF NEXT YEAR. THE
JUDGE ALSO ORDERED THAT CRUMBLY
WILL CONTINUE TO BE HELD IN THE
OAKLAND COUNTY JAIL. HIS STATUS
AS A JUVENILE IS, AS WE REPORTED
REVIEWED EVERY 30 DAYS THAT
HAPPENED TODAY AGAIN CRUMBLY IS
FACING A NUMBER OF CHARGES,
INCLUDING, OF COURSE, FIRST
DEGREE MURDER. ROSEVILLE BABY
SITTER IS NOW CHARGED WITH
MURDER IN THE DEATH OF A 23
MONTH OLD LITTLE BOY CAMERA.
HODGES IS NOW CHARGED WITH
FELONY MURDER IN THE DEATH OF A
LITTLE BOY WHO WAS ABOUT TO TURN
TWO YEARS OLD ROSEVILLE POLICE
SAY THE 21 YEAR OLD HODGES WAS
BABYSITTING THE BOY NAMED KYRIE
WHEN SHE CALLED HIS MOTHER TO
SAY HE WASN’T ACTING NORMALLY.
HE WAS RUSHED TO THE HOSPITAL,
WHERE DOCTORS DETERMINED HE HAD
SEVERE HEAD TRAUMA. DETECTIVES
SAY HODGES CONFESSED TO HURTING
THE BOY. SHE REMAINS IN JAIL
WITHOUT BOND. HER NEXT COURT
DATE IS JUNE 29. BATTLE OVER
MICHIGAN’S AUTO INSURANCE
REFORM, TAKING CENTER STAGE THIS
AFTERNOON IN DOWNTOWN DETROIT
WITH A RALLY FOR VLADY RED WINGS
LEGEND VLADIMIR CONSTANTINE OF
HIS FAMILY HAVE BEEN VERY
OUTSPOKEN ABOUT THE IMPACT THE
2019 LAWS HAVING ON PEOPLE WHO
WERE LIVING WITH CATASTROPHIC
AUTO INJURIES. GRANT HERMES, WHO
WAS AT TODAY’S RALLY, LET’S GET
TO HIM GRANT. OKAY YEAH. YOU
KNOW, DEVIN, THAT RALLY JUST
WRAPPED UP HERE JUST A LITTLE
WHILE AGO, AND IT WAS DOUBLY
SIGNIFICANT, NOT JUST BECAUSE
WHAT THEY’RE FIGHTING FOR. HE
WAS JUST HEARD OF THE STATE OF
PELLET COURT BECAUSE THIS YEAR
MARKS 25 YEARS SINCE THAT TRAGIC
ACCIDENT. OF A REDWING LEGEND.
25 YEARS, A MILESTONE OF
SURVIVAL FOR VLADIMIR
CONSTANTINE OFF THE DETROIT RED
WING, TRAGICALLY SUFFERING
LIFELONG INJURIES AFTER A LIMO
ACCIDENT IN 1997. MEETING FANS
AND TAKING PHOTOS THIS AFTERNOON
, BUT BENEATH THE SURFACE OF
FIGHT OVER CHANGES TO THE
STATE’S NO FAULT AUTO INSURANCE
, A NEW LAW STRIPPING NEARLY
18,000 PEOPLE ACROSS THE STATE
OF THE MONEY THEY’VE RELIED ON
FOR DECADES. RALLY GOERS URGING
THEY BE GRANDFATHERED IN TO KEEP
THEIR CARE. FORMER TEAMMATE
DARREN MCCARTY EXPLAINING ONLY
THE WAY A REDWING CAN. I DON’T
UNDERSTAND WHY THERE’S NO
GRANDFATHERING IN RULE, WHICH
WOULD BE LIKE IN HOCKEY WHEN I
STARTED PLAYING CRAIG MCTAVISH.
DIDN’T WEAR A HELMET HE DIDN’T
HAVE BECAUSE HE PLAYED WHEN
THERE WASN’T WEARING HELMETS,
RIGHT? PUT ON BY THE MICHIGAN
BRAIN INJURY ASSOCIATION, WHOSE
PRESIDENT SAYS THEY WANT
POLITICIANS TO SEE THE PEOPLE
THEIR CHOICES. IMPACT AT THE END
OF EVERY DATA POINT IS A HUMAN
LIFE AND WE’RE LITERALLY TALKING
ABOUT LIFE AND DEATH HERE. WE’RE
TALKING ABOUT QUALITY OF LIFE
AND THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE HERE
EXEMPLIFY THE FACT THAT PEOPLE
CARE PEOPLE CARE SOMETHING
MCCARTY AGREED WITH FROM MY
BUDDY VLAD IAN FOR HIS FRIENDS
AND FOR EVERYBODY ELSE AFFECTED.
NOW THAT COURT CASE WAS JUST
HEARD OF THE STATE OF APPELLATE
COURT EARLIER THIS MONTH, AND
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? DEVIN IS A
WAITING GAME HERE. WE’RE GOING
TO WAIT TO SEE IF THE COURT
RULES IN THEIR FAVOR OR IF THAT
HAS TO GO TO THE STATE SUPREME
COURT. IT DOWN TO THE TREE
GRANT HERMES LOCAL 4 IN ONE CASE
THAT GETS A TON OF ATTENTION,
BUT SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE’S LIVES
WRAPPED UP IN THAT VERY
IMPORTANT DECISION. ALRIGHT
GRANDPA 5TH JANUARY SIXTH
HEARING FOCUSED ON FORMER
PRESIDENT TRUMP’S EFFORTS TO
PRESSURE THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT
TO OVERTURN THE ELECTION.
MICHIGAN’S ANTRIM COUNTY BROUGHT
UP SEVERAL TIMES YOU’LL RECALL
RESULTS IN THAT COUNTY INITIALLY
SHOWED JOE BIDEN WAS AHEAD THAT
WAS DUE TO HUMAN ERROR THAT WAS
CORRECTED. DOES TRUMP ACTUALLY
HAD MORE VOTES, BUT IT SPARKED
CLAIMS OF CONSPIRACY WITH
DOMINION VOTING SYSTEMS, THE
ACTING DEPUTY ATTORNEY GENERAL
AT THE TIME, SAYS HE TRIED TO
TELL PRESIDENT TRUMP THE REPORTS
OF VOTE FLIPPING WERE BOGUS.
THERE WAS A HAND RECOUNT SO THEY
WERE ABLE TO COMPARE THE HAND
RECOUNT TO WHAT THE MACHINES HAD
REPORTED. AND FOR THE BALLOTS
THAT WERE ACTUALLY COUNTED BY
MACHINE MORE THAN 15,000. THERE
WAS ONE ERROR. ONE BALLOT. AND I
DID A QUICK CALCULATION AND CAME
UP WITH 0.63% ERROR RATE, WHICH
IS WELL WITHIN TOLERANCE. AND SO
I MADE IT VERY CLEAR THE
PRESIDENT BECAUSE HE WAS SO
FIXATED ON THE REPORT IN THE
DECEMBER 15TH CONVERSATION. THAT
IN FACT, OUR INVESTIGATION
REVEALED THAT THE ERROR RATE WAS
0.63% SO THAT MR PRESIDENT,
EXAMPLE OF WHAT PEOPLE ARE
TELLING YOU. THAT IS NOT TRUE.
CLAIMS OF A CONSPIRACY AND
ANTRIM COUNTY WERE DISPELLED IN
A STATE SENATE INVESTIGATION
THAT WAS LED BY THE GOP LAST
YEAR. INVESTIGATION CONTINUES
AFTER AN ATTEMPTED SMASH AND
GRAB AT A PHARMACY. THIS
HAPPENED OVERNIGHT AT THE
MEDICINE SHOP AT 17, MILE AND
RYAN IN STERLING HEIGHTS. POLICE
SAY THIEVES CRASHED INTO THE
BUILDING. YOU SEE THE BIG HOLE
THERE IN FRONT OF THE PHARMACY,
POLICE SAID THEY WERE ABLE TO
STEAL PRESCRIPTION DRUGS, AND SO
FAR THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO
MAKE ANY ARRESTS. A DEADLY
MOSQUITO BORNE VIRUS HAS BEEN
FOUND IN MICHIGAN, THE FIRST
THIS YEAR. MOSQUITOES IN BAY
COUNTY NEAR BAY CITY TESTED
POSITIVE FOR THE JAMESTOWN
CANYON VIRUS. THERE HAVE BEEN NO
HUMAN CASES THIS YEAR, BUT SIX
PEOPLE CONTRACTED THE VIRUS IN
MICHIGAN LAST YEAR. THE VIRUS
HAS SPREAD THROUGH MOSQUITO
BITES. SIGNS INCLUDE FEVER,
HEADACHE AND FATIGUE, AND IT CAN
PROGRESS TO SEVERE DISEASES, SO
