MOUNT CLEMENS, Mich. -- The preliminary hearing scheduled Monday for a 22-year-old Clinton Township man charged in connection with the robbery of a legally blind man has been pushed back until September 13.
David Antoine Anderson pleaded not guilty and requested a court-appointed lawyer during his arraignment earlier this month in Clinton Township District Court.
He was charged with unarmed robbery, a 15-year penalty, and aggravated assault, a misdemeanor punishable by up to a year in jail and a $1,000 fine.
Prosecutors said Anderson and a 16-year-old suspect jumped 50-year-old Daniel Perron while he was walking in Mount Clemens on Aug. 3 and stole $600 from him.
But Anderson's attorney said his client was actually trying to help Perron because they both left the same corner store at the same time. Anderson's attorney said he's trying to get copies of tapes with witnesses listed in police reports.
In an interview with Local 4, Perron described the attack.
"I was coming home, and they knocked me down," he said. "They kicked me all over. They punched me in the head."
The 50-year-old said his head was smashed against a fence.
"They were trying to tip me upside down to get the money," he said. "That's the money, all the money, I have in the month to live on."
Perron said he heard the suspects encouraging others to continue the beating until they got the money.
"I kept trying to get away and to stand up. When I stand up, 'Boom,' I get kicked again," he said.
Perron said a good Samaritan noticed what was happening and chased the group away.
Perron said he wasn't seriously hurt, but is covered in bruises.
Prosecutors are expected to review the 16-year-old's case. He is being held in Macomb County's juvenile justice system.

Detroit Woman, 90, Says She Was Raped

DETROIT - Police are looking for the men who allegedly raped a 90-year-old woman. That elderly woman is still in the hospital.
Holding back his emotions, he is a grandson filled with rage. The focus of his anger are two men in their thirties accused of brutally attacking his 90-year-old grandmother.
"I called her. She didn't answer the phone. I walked in and she wasn't where she normally is," said Gordon Mosley.
Pinned behind her bed; that is how the men allegedly left her and he found her. They are accused of breaking in a side entrance at 10:00 p.m. Thursday.
Mosely said, "She woke up with one of them on top of her, and she tried to fight them off, but she's 90 years old. How much fighting is she going to do?"
"(She) said that they raped her," Mosely added. "They got to be the scum of the earth. They better hope the police find them before we find them."
The grandmother is still recovering in the hospital. She is expected to be okay.
Her grandson tells FOX 2 when the men ransacked the house on the 4000 block of Leslie, they also stole jewelry and guns. He believes a possible motive was simply that someone knew she would be alone.
"My cousin usually stays here, and he went out of town Monday, so it seems like somebody may have been casing the house out," said Mosley.
If you have any information, you are asked to contact Detroit Police.

more to come....

just read the Detroit newspapers if you can't wait.....


they rob little white girls' lemonade stands there, too.

Detroit is crap

Michigan ( in total), make it a prison state for the nation.

Was in Detroit two years ago for the Final Four and I will agree Detroit is the worst city in America. There are city streets full of boarded up empty houses. The old Detroit Tiger Stadium is a shell of what it used to be in the worst part of Detroit and there's just shady people walking all over the place because they have no jobs. It's a scary place.

honestly would rather live in Beirut than Detroit

Families paint unflattering picture of man who fathered 23 children, owed $500,000 in child support

GRAND RAPIDS -- The 19-year-old son of the state's most egregious deadbeat dad said there was nothing particularly fatherly about his relationship with Howard Veal. If anything, it showed him how not to be a parent, the teen said.
"It's not like I ever saw him; our relationship was not the way it was supposed to be," the young man said. He lives on the Northeast Side with his mother, one of 23 children Veal fathered by 14 different women, according to the state attorney general.
Veal owes $533,000 in child support for the children -- a state record, according to Joy Yearout, an attorney general spokeswoman.
The young man, who did not want to be identified, said his 44-year-old father influenced him -- by his absence from the home he shared with his mom and sister.
"I never thought of him like 'Yeah, that's my dad,' I'm just trying to grow up and not be like that," he said.
Veal was sentenced Thursday to between two and four years in prison. Kent County Circuit Judge Dennis Leiber called the Muskegon man "an insult to every responsible father who sacrifices to provide for their children."
State prosecutors usually do not ask for lengthy prison sentences in these cases, preferring to see a parent work to pay child support. But the attorney general said this case was an exception because of Veal's continuing lack of support even after "serial procreation with scores of women."
What Veal owes is a mere fraction of child support due from parents statewide: $9.3 billion, Yearout said. About $4 billion of that goes to pay back the state for public assistance that is often required to support the children, due to the parents' lack of contribution.
Of the 14 women who gave birth to Veal's children, all but one are current or former recipients of public assistance, according to the state.
The Grand Rapids mother who was named in the court case, Sherri Black, was owed about $60,000 for the two children she had with Veal.
While the state says there are 13 other mothers -- two others in Kent County and 11 in Muskegon County -- who are owed child support, this was the lone case prosecuted at this point because adding more cases likely would not have increased penalties, Yearout said. Logistics and resource allocation are also factors, she said.
Veal has a right to appeal his sentence, which exceeded the state recommended guidelines of up to six months in jail.
But his lawyer, Norman Miller, said the Kent County Defender's Office combed the judge's sentence for possible reasons to legally object to it, but found none.
Now, Veal, who was shocked by his sentence Thursday, will be transferred from the Kent County Jail to a state prison.
He deserves his sentence, according to Black, the woman at the heart of the case.
"I think that a father that says he doesn't have the money to pay could at least show that the children exist," the 38-year-old mother said.
"My daughter, now 11-years-old, and son, 16, have never even gotten a birthday card from him."
Some checks that did arrive from Veal were for less than $2, she said. The attorney general's office said that the little bit Veal did pay over the years was split among so many people it was of limited benefit.
"I am shocked that the courts did send him to prison," Black said.
"But when I think about it, my children were in prison, too -- a prison of poverty."

BTW I don't live in the city. They are starting to come to the suburbs since they have stolen everything they could from the city people. I have my guns ready to take care of business. I could shoot them dead in my house and go right to sleep like a baby.

Woman arraigned in arson death of grandmother

A Detroit woman was arraigned in 36th district court Friday for setting a west side home ablaze, resulting in the death of her grandmother. Police claim Stacey Renee Anderson deliberately set fire to the family home in the 4600 block of Pacific, killing her grandmother Leena Green, 88, and injuring her parents.
Police say that Anderson, who shared the first floor of the home with Green, argued with her and Green refused to let her inside. The DPD and Fire Department responded to the blaze at 12:45 AM September 22.
Before they arrived, 68 year old Robert Anderson had tried to get Green to safety, but her room was so full of smoke he could neither see nor breath. Meanwhile his wife Hattie jumped from a second floor window and was seriously injured.
Fire fighters managed to extricate Green and she, Robert and Hattie Anderson were taken to the hospital. Unfortunately, Green could not be saved.
Robert Anderson said Stacey's addiction to crack cocaine was a source of discord in the house. It may well have been the subject of the argument between Stacey and Green.
Stacey Anderson was arraigned on a charge of felony murder, two counts assault with intent to murder, and arson of a dwelling place.
She is being held without bond in the Wayne County Jail.
