Deputies raided a chaotic King Arthur’s Court residence packed with cats, dogs, ducks, rats, hamsters, and even a bearded dragon—home to four adults, one of whom was arrested for assault. The Clinton County Sheriff’s Office is now investigating multiple residents for animal neglect and cruelty amid the overwhelming number of animals needing care. All pets are at the shelter being cleaned and processed, so much so that animal control temporarily halted new intakes to manage the crisis. This is a massive, heartbreaking operation focused on rescuing animals while holding those responsible accountable.

A church bus flipped violently after a collision in Flint, leaving two passengers ejected and one hospitalized—just minutes before Sunday service. Pastor Ernesto Alaniz, who was preaching about trusting God, shared his shock and fear upon learning the severity of the crash.

Michigan State just landed a $11 million windfall from Kirk Faber, a retired dentist and longtime MSU donor, who’s pouring his wealth into transformative campus projects — including a new engineering center, a plant sciences building, and athletics. This isn’t his first rodeo: since 1977, he’s been steadily giving back, and now he’s planning another eight-figure gift to the College of Natural Science. Named spaces honor him and his late wife Celeste, while Faber insists education is the ultimate legacy — and that teamwork learned on the field translates to real-world success. With another $50 million already pledged for the same engineering hub, this donation fuels a $340 million, 265,000-square-foot dream project set to finish by 2028.

A former high school English teacher, Robert Herzing, 33, got five months in jail and five years probation after arranging to meet a police decoy posing as a minor. The investigation began when a detective created a fake profile on a social app—Herzing reached out, they chatted for months, then moved to texting, where he openly discussed various relationships, including casual encounters. He agreed to meet the decoy at a public library in September last year, leading to his arrest. Already fired from Waverly High School, Herzing pleaded no contest to charges of accosting a child for immoral purposes and attempted third-degree criminal sexual conduct. The judge gave him four days credit for time already served. The detective called it one of her longest online investigations, stressing how dangerous it was that Herzing had access to students.
