THE WEATHER. LOOK AT EXACT TRACK 4D RADAR RAIN MOVING THROUGH METRO DETROIT. IN FACT, IT HAS
BEEN FOR MOST OF THE DAY. NOW
TAKE A LIVE LOOK OUTSIDE FROM
OUR ANN ARBOR SKY CAM TURNED OUT
TO BE A PRETTY DREARY KIND OF
HAZY DAY THERE, EVEN IN ANN
ARBOR TO START THE WEEKEND. AND
WE’VE BEEN SAYING IT ALL WEEK.
WE DO NEED THE RAIN. SO WE GOT
SOME. THANKS FOR BEING WITH US.
I’M KIMBERLY GILL. SHERIFF, FOR
WHAT YOU ASKED FOR. I’M DEVIN
SCILLIAN. LET’S START THINGS OFF
HERE AT FIVE WITH KIM ADAMS
TRACKING A PRETTY SOGGY
AFTERNOON DRIVE IT IS A WET
AFTERNOON DRIVE.
>> THE PAVEMENT IS WET, BUT THIS
RAIN WILL BE COMING TO AN END IN
THE NEXT FEW HOURS. RETURNING
THIS WEEKEND. AND I’LL TELL YOU
WHEN IN A MOMENT. BUT RIGHT NOW
IN DOWNTOWN DETROIT, WE’RE JUST
GETTING VERY LIGHT RAIN. IT’S
NOT HEAVY. IT’S NOT A
THUNDERSTORM OR ANYTHING LIKE
THAT. BUT DEFINITELY SOME WATER
ON THE ROADWAYS IN FERNDALE,
SOUTHFIELD, REDFORD, LIVONIA,
DEARBORN, DEARBORN HEIGHTS, UP
INTO MACOMB COUNTY, WE’RE SEEING
A FEW MORE SHOWERS IN ROSEVILLE.
FRAZIER MOUNT CLEMENS AND
STERLING HEIGHTS AND THEN OVER
TO OAKLAND COUNTY. IT’S RAINING
IN BIRMINGHAM. FRANKLIN AND IN
FARMINGTON HILLS. WE SAID WE
NEED THE RAIN. WE DO LOOK AT
THIS CALENDAR. IT IS ONLY RAINED
FOUR TIMES THIS MONTH. TODAY
WOULD BE DAY NUMBER FIVE. BUT
WE’RE GOING TO ADD SEVERAL DAYS
TO THIS MONTH. AND I’LL TALK
ABOUT THAT AND TIME IT OUT FOR
YOU HOUR BY HOUR HERE.
>> ALL RIGHT, KIM. OUR OTHER TOP
STORY HERE AT FIVE, A TWIST IN
COURT TODAY FOR THE OXFORD
SCHOOL SHOOTER DURING A MONTHLY
HEARING, PROSECUTORS TOLD THE
JUDGE, ETHAN CRUMBLEY HAS BEEN
EXHIBITING DISTURBING BEHAVIOR
IN THE OAKLAND COUNTY JAIL.
SHAWN LEY IS LIVE TONIGHT. AND,
SHAWN, THIS IS DETAILED IN A
COURT FILING AND YOU WERE ABLE
TO GET YOUR HANDS ON IT. YEAH,
WE CHECKED OUT THAT COURT FILING
LINE BY LINE DESCRIBING
DISTURBING BEHAVIOR, BUT NOT
SAYING EXACTLY WHAT THAT
BEHAVIOR IS.
>> SO THE QUESTION RIGHT NOW AT
5:00 IS OXFORD SCHOOL SHOOTER
BEHIND BARS HERE? HE’S BEEN HERE
ISOLATED SINCE THE VERY START,
SINCE THAT AWFUL DAY OF THE
SHOOTING. AND HE IS MONITORED
EVERY SINGLE MOMENT THAT HE’S
ISOLATED IN HIS CELL HERE. WELL,
IT’S BEING DESCRIBED TO ME AS
OVERT ACTIONS OR OVERT BEHAVIOR,
NOT HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT, WAS
CAPTURED BY DEPUTIES AND THEIR
BODY CAMERAS. THEY HAD AN
OBLIGATION TO REPORT WHAT THAT
BEHAVIOR WAS. AND THIS IS WHAT
WE KNOW ABOUT IT RIGHT NOW.
TODAY, A SURPRISE REVELATION
FROM OAKLAND COUNTY PROSECUTOR
IS THAT THE OXFORD HIGH SCHOOL
SHOOTER IS SHOWING DISTURBING
BEHAVIOR BEHIND BARS, BEHAVIORS
SIGNIFICANT ENOUGH TO ALERT THE
COURT IN THIS NEW FILING. AN TO
ALERT A JUDGE TODAY AS WE
INDICATED IN THE MEMORANDUM OF
LAW, WE RECENTLY BECAME AWARE OF
SOME WHAT WE BELIEVE TO BE
CONCERNING BEHAVIOR ON THE
DEFENDANT’S PART.
>> WE BELIEVE THAT WE HAD A
ETHICAL AND A LEGAL OBLIGATION
TO PROVIDE THAT INFORMATION TO
THE DEFENSE AS WELL AS THIS
COURT.
>> NO SPECIFICS WERE GIVEN ON
WHAT THAT DISTURBING BEHAVIOR
IS, BUT THE ISSUE IS HUGE. IT
COULD INDICATE THAT THE SHOOTER
IS NO LONGER COMPETENT TO MOVE
FORWARD WITH HIS GUILTY PLEA IF
THE ISSUE IS NOT ADDRESSED NOW,
HIS FUTURE SENTENCE COULD BE
THROWN OUT LATER, DRAGGING OUT
THE PAIN FOR VICTIMS FAMILIES AS
THE 17 YEAR OLD REMAINS ISOLATED
IN A CELL AT THE OAKLAND COUNTY
JAIL SINCE THE SHOOTING,
NOVEMBER 30TH OF 2021, WE PULLED
THE PROSECUTOR’S MEMO FROM
COURT, IT READS. RECENTLY
DEFENDER HAS STARTED EXHIBITING
SPORADIC DISTURBING BEHAVIOR.
THIS BEHAVIOR HAS BEEN
DOCUMENTED VIA REPORT AND BODY
WORN CAMERA FROM JAIL PERSONNEL
RESPONDING TO VARIOUS INCIDENTS.
PROSECUTE SHOOTERS. GO ON TO SAY
IT IS NOT APPARENT WHAT THE
CAUSE OF THE BEHAVIOR IS. THE
SHOOTER’S ATTORNEY AND COURT
APPOINTED GUARDIAN MET WITH HIM
TO DISCUSS THE CONCERNING
BEHAVIOR. AND THEY ARE CONFIDENT
HE IS COMPETENT TO MOVE FORWARD.
>> I’VE ALSO MET WITH MR.
CRUMBLEY OVER 75 TIMES.
>> I DO BELIEVE MR. CRUMBLEY IS
COMPETENT. THAT HAS NEVER BEEN A
QUESTION IN MY MIND. BACK HERE
LIVE.
>> SO THE JUDGE AGREED THE CASE
NOW MOVES FORWARD. COMPETENCY TO
STAND TRIAL OR DO HIS SENSE
THING WHICH IS COMING UP. ALSO,
THE PROSECUTING OFFICE HERE,
THEIR SPOKESPERSON SAID, GAVE ME
A STATEMENT THAT THIS WAS
MEDICAL RELATED AND THEY HAD
NOTHING MORE TO SAY THAN THAT.
DEVIN, KIMBERLY, BACK TO YOU.
>> WELL, SHAWN, YOU’VE BEEN
CHECKING WITH THE SHERIFF TO
FIND OUT WHAT’S GOING ON. WHAT’S
HE SAYING ABOUT THIS?
>> SHERIFF’S IN CHARGE OF THE
JAIL AND THE DEPUTIES WITH THE
BODY CAMERA AND THE VIDEO. HE
SAYS HE WANTS TO BE TRANSPARENT
ABOUT WHAT’S GOING ON HERE, BUT
NEEDS TO CHECK WITH CORPORATION
COUNSEL OR COUNTY ATTORNEY
BEFORE BECAUSE WE’RE TALKING
ABOUT AN INMATE HERE UNDER HIS
WATCH AND A MEDICALLY RELATED
SITUATION.
>> YEAH. ALL RIGHT, SHAWN, KEEP
US POSTED. THANKS FOR YOUR STORY
TONIGHT, WE’RE HEARING FROM
FAMILY MEMBERS OF THE FIVE
PEOPLE WHO DIED ON BOARD THE
TITAN SUBMERSIBLE. LET’S LOOK AT
LIVE PICTURES FROM SAINT JOHN’S
HARBOR IN NEWFOUNDLAND.
>> THE COAST GUARD HAS CONFIRMED
THE GROUP DID NOT SURVIVE THEIR
JOURNEY FROM NEWFOUNDLAND TO THE
TITANIC WRECK SITE. BUT AN
INVESTIGATION STILL UNDERWAY TO
TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHY. LET’S
BRING IN JAY GRAY, WHO’S IN
BOSTON THIS EVENING WITH A
CLOSER LOOK. JAY HEY THERE. GOOD
EVENING, DEVIN.
>> GOOD EVENING, KIMBERLY. MOST
OF THE SHIPS AND AIRCRAFT RUSHED
IN FOR THE RESCUE EFFORT ARE
CLEARING THE SCENE NOW WHILE
MANY OF THE UNDERWATER ASSETS,
THOSE REMOTELY OPERATED VEHICLES
REMAIN BEHIND FOCUSED ON A VERY
DIFFERENT MISSION NOW, THE
SEARCH IN THIS REMOTE AREA OF
THE NORTH ATLANTIC SHIFTING NOW
. TEAMS NO LONGER LOOKING FOR A
MISSING SUBMERSIBLE. AND FIVE
MEN INSIDE, BUT INSTEAD ANSWER
TO HOW AND WHY THEY WERE LOST AT
IT IS A COMPLEX CASE TO WORK
THROUGH.
>> BUT I’M CONFIDENT THAT THOSE
QUESTIONS WILL BEGIN TO GET
ANSWERED.
>> REMOTELY OPERATED VEHICLES
CONTINUE TO SCAN DEBRIS LESS
THAN A HALF MILE FROM THE BOW OF
THE TITANIC PIECES OF THE SUB
THAT INVESTIGATORS SAY INDICATE
A SUDDEN LEAK IN THE PRESSURIZED
CAPSULE LEADING TO A
CATASTROPHIC IMPLOSION IN THE
ONLY SAVING GRACE ABOUT THAT IS
THAT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN
IMMEDIATE, LITERALLY IN
MILLISECONDS, AND THE MEN WOULD
HAVE HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS
HAPPENING.
>> FAMILY MEMBERS OF THE VICTIMS
THANKFUL THEY LIKELY DIDN’T
SUFFER, BUT STRUGGLING WITH
THEIR LOSS JUST ABSOLUTELY
DEVASTATING.
>> I’M STILL, YOU KNOW,
HEARTBROKEN.
>> I THINK I’M STILL A LITTLE
BIT IN SHOCK. I JUST CAN’T
BELIEVE THAT, YOU KNOW, THIS IS
HAPPENING. THE BEST WAY TO
PRESERVE THE MEMORIES AND THE
LEGACIES OF THESE FIVE EXPLORERS
IS TO CONDUCT AN INVESTIGATION,
FIND OUT WHAT WENT WRONG, TAKE
LESSONS LEARNED, AND THEN MOVE
FORWARD, MOVING FORWARD WITH THE
INVESTIGATION IN A LOT LIKE A
TRIP TO THE OCEAN’S FLOOR.
>> A DIFFICULT JOURNEY INTO THE
UNKNOWN LOGISTICS, A VERY
DIFFICULT PART OF THE PROCESS.
IN FACT, IT’S STILL NOT CLEAR IF
RECOVERY TEAMS WILL BE ABLE TO
PULL REMNANTS OF THAT SUB TO THE
SURFACE ICE FROM THE OCEAN
FLOOR. TWO AND A HALF MILES
BELOW IN BOSTON, JAY GRAY, LOCAL
4.
>> ALL RIGHT, JAY, IT IS
EXPECTED TO TAKE ANOTHER WEEK
JUST TO MAP OUT THE DEBRIS SITES
WHILE QUESTIONS STILL REMAIN
ABOUT HOW THIS HAPPENED, WE DO
KNOW IT IS UNLIKELY THAT ANY
BODIES ARE GOING TO BE RECOVERED
. AND IT WAS A HUGE ILLEGAL
DUMPING SITE, EVEN A DETROIT
POLICE OFFICER HAD TROUBLES. WE
REPORTED YESTERDAY GETTING THE
CITY TO CLEAN IT UP. THAT’S
RIGHT.
>> WELL, TONIGHT, NEIGHBORS ON
DETROIT’S WEST SIDE HAVE
SOMETHING TO CELEBRATE BECAUSE
THAT MESS IS GONE. CONSUMER
INVESTIGATOR HANK WINCHESTER
LIVE TONIGHT. HANK, YOU’VE BEEN
GETTING A LOT OF CALLS ABOUT
THIS ILLEGAL DUMPING. YEAH.
KIMBERLY DEVIN, NOT ONLY HERE IN
THIS WEST SIDE NEIGHBORHOOD, BUT
ALSO ON THE EAST SIDE.
>> THANKFULLY, WITH HELP FROM
THE CITY, WE WERE ABLE TO CLEAN
BOTH OF THOSE UP WITHIN THE LAST
FEW DAYS. YOU KNOW, AS WE
MENTIONED, THERE’S A LOT OF
FAMILIES THAT LIVE HERE BEHIND
ME AND THE BIG PROBLEM WAS HERE,
AS YOU APPROACH GREENFIELD, A
HUGE MESS OF TRASH AND DEBRIS.
WELL, THANKFULLY NOW MOST OF
IT’S GONE. THIS IS VIDEO SHOT BY
CREWS IN THE MIDDLE OF A MASSIVE
CLEANUP ON THE WEST SIDE EARLY
THIS MORNING. AND JUST
YESTERDAY, OUR HELP ME HANK.
CAMERAS THERE SHOWING THE HUGE
MESS LEFT BEHIND BY ILLEGAL
DUMPERS. TODAY THE MESS HAS BEEN
CLEANED UP ONCE AND FOR ALL BY
THE CITY. ALL THE JUNK AND
DANGEROUS DEBRIS NOW GONE.
>> IT MAKES ME FEEL A LOT BETTER
TO SEE WHEN I WALK DOWN HERE.
EVERYTHING LOOKS BEAUTIFUL NOW.
IT DON’T LOOK LIKE IT’S A
DISGRACE.
>> AND RECENTLY WE EXPOSED THIS
BIG MESS ON THE EAST SIDE OF
DETROIT, A MOUND OF DEBRIS THAT
WAS IN FRONT OF A LAND BANK
OWNED HOME FOR WEEKS. WE GOT THE
CITY INVOLVED AND CREWS WERE
THERE QUICKLY TO PICK IT ALL UP.
A BIG THANK YOU TO THE CITY FOR
HELPING US. ILLEGAL DUMPERS HAVE
BEEN MAKING MOVES ALL OVER THE
CITY OF DETROIT. IT’S HARD TO
KEEP UP. PART OF THE PROBLEM,
WE’RE TOLD CONSTRUCTION, DEBRIS,
MANY PEOPLE REHABBING HOMES IN
THE CITY. THAT’S THE GOOD NEWS.
BUT SOME LEAVING THEIR JUNK
BEHIND.
>> AND IF YOU ARE REHABBING A
HOUSE, YOU CAN CALL DPW FOR A
VERY LOW PRICE. GET THAT DEBRIS
REMOVED. I THINK THAT HAS HELPED
A LOT FOR THE ILLEGAL DUMPING
DUMPERS.
>> NEED TO KNOW THERE ARE HUGE
PENALTIES IF YOU’RE BUSTED AND
THERE IS A TASK FORCE OUT THERE
LOOKING FOR YOU. OH THE TICKETS
WILL START FROM 500 TO $10,000.
>> YEAH. AND IT’S NOT JUST
TICKETS.
>> I MEAN, THEY COULD HAVE THEIR
VEHICLES SEIZED. THERE’S A WHOLE
VEHICLE SEIZED, AS YOU CAN GET
INTO A LOT OF LEGAL TROUBLE.
BACK OUT HERE LIVE. I MEAN, THE
REALITY IS, IS THIS TASK FORCE
OUT ON THE STREETS OF DETROIT
WORKING TO TRACK THOSE DOWN WHO
ARE ILLEGALLY DUMPING IN THE
CITY. AND AS YOU HEARD, THE
PENALTIES AS THEY CAN BE SEVERE.
WE’RE LIVE TONIGHT. HANK
WINCHESTER, HELP ME, HANK. LOCAL
4 AND I KNOW THOSE NEIGHBORS ARE
SO HAPPY AND THANKFUL THAT THAT
MESS IS GONE.
>> HANK, APPRECIATE YOUR WORK.
WELL IN JUST THE PAST HOUR, THE
DETROIT PISTONS INTRODUCED THEIR
TWO NEWEST MEMBERS OF THE
FRANCHISE.
>> FIRST ROUND PICK AUSAR
THOMPSON AND SECOND ROUNDER
MARCUS SASSER. NOW HERE IN THE
MOTOR CITY, BOTH READY TO GET TO

MIDTOWN WITH OUR INTRODUCTION.
JAMIE

RESTORING THE PISTONS CONTINUING
HERE AT THE PERFORMANCE CENTER.
TROY WEAVER AND MONTY WILLIAMS
BOTH THRILLED WITH THESE TWO
PICKUPS. LET’S GET TO THE VIDEO
OF AUSAR THOMPSON AND MARCUS
SASSER JOINING THE GM AND HEAD

CONFERENCE. THOMPSON IS THE
TALLER 167 215 POUNDS, 20 YEARS
OLD, KNOWN AS A GREAT DEFENSE
FOR SASSER. IS OLDER. HE PLAYED
FOUR YEARS AT HOUSTON. HE’S
KNOWN AS A SHOOTER, SOMETHING
THE PISTONS DESPERATELY NEED.
NOW LISTEN TO THOMPSON TALK
ABOUT JOINING DETROIT.
>> I’M EXTREMELY EXCITED TO BE
HERE. YOU KNOW, WHEN I CAME HERE
TO DO MY PRE-DRAFT WORKOUT, I
FELT LIKE WHEN I MET WITH THE
ALL THE FRONT OFFICE COACH, I
JUST FELT LIKE THERE WAS A LOT
OF CHEMISTRY AND IT WAS A PLACE
I CAN GROW. AND I LIKED THE WAY
LIKE I FELT LIKE IT WAS TRENDING
UPWARDS, TRENDING IN THE RIGHT
DIRECTION.
>> THAT’S THE HOPE. I MEAN, WE
WERE JUST HERE LAST WEEK AS
MONTY WILLIAMS WAS INTRODUCED.
THIS YOUNG CORE, HOPING TO MAKE
A JUMP COMING UP IN SPORTS,
WE’LL HEAR FROM TROY WEAVER.
WE’LL HEAR FROM SASSER TALK
ABOUT WHAT THE DIRECTION OF THIS
TEAM IS. ONE FINAL NOTE.
THOMPSON’S TWIN BROTHER WAS HERE
AND ON THE STAGE, SASSER WAS
ASKED LIKE, DO YOU WANT TO BEAT
YOUR BROTHER IN SUMMER LEAGUE?
HE SAID, I WANT TO KILL HIM. AND
THAT GOT A CHUCKLE HERE AT THE
PERFORMANCE CENTER. WE’RE LIVE
TONIGHT. JAMIE EDMONDS, LOCAL 4.
>> ESPECIALLY BECAUSE HE WENT
ONE PICK AHEAD OF HIM. NOW HE’LL
BE FIGHTING TO PROVE THAT WAS
WRONG. ALL ALL THESE YEARS THAT
WE’LL BE WATCHING. ALL RIGHT,
JAMIE. WELL A BILL JUST PASSED
IN THE STATE HOUSE WHICH AIMS TO
STOP SPEEDERS IN CONSTRUCTION
ZONE.
>> NEW AT FIVE. WHY SOME DRIVERS
MIGHT NOT BE TOO HAPPY ABOUT HOW
IT WORKS WILL, WE ARE JUST DAYS
AWAY FROM THE SKY OVER THE
DETROIT RIVER BEING LIT UP FOR
THE FORD FIREWORKS.
>> WHY? ORGANIZERS SAY THIS
YEAR’S DISPLAY WILL BE BIGGER
THAN EVER.
>> ALL RIGHT, WILL. BUT FIRST,
CAR PULLS OUT AND THEN THEY JUST
START SHOOTING THIS VERY WILD
SCENE PLAYING OUT IN ANN ARBOR.
