Man Makes Death Threats, Banned from Highland Car Dealer

The following information was supplied by the Oakland County Sheriff's Department, Highland substation. Arrests and charges do not indicate convictions.

A 52-year-old Milford resident was banned from Jay Chevrolet in Highland after the man made death threats to employees, a report with the Oakland County Sheriff's Deputies states.

According to the report, the man called the dealership on Aug. 15 to inquire about having work done on his truck. After the dealership informed the man that his truck was not under warranty, the man got angry.

The report states that the man told two different employees that he was going to get a gun and kill "a bunch of (expletive)," he then said he was going to kill himself.

Police responded to the man's home and he was told he was prohibited from calling or going to the dealership. Police did note that the man said he was sorry, and wished to apologize to the dealership.

Woman injured in crash

A 58-year-old Milford resident is recovering from an accident that occurred on Aug. 14 at Cooley Lake Road and Duck Lake Road in Highland, according to police.

According to the report, the woman was attempting to pass three vehicles in a passing zone when one of the cars she was passing pulled into her lane attempting to also pass a car.

That car, driven by a 24-year-old from Commerce, struck the Milford woman's car causing it to leave the roadway and strike a tree.

When officers arrived on the scene they found several cars pulled over, and an off-duty Oakland County Deputy from Commerce near the vehicle. The off-duty officer and several witnesses were comforting the Milford woman who was trapped in her car, the report states.

The woman was removed from the car and taken by ambulance to a nearby hospital. She suffered several broken bones, including a severely broken ankle.

The accident investigation has concluded, and deputies have submitted the file to the Oakland County Prosecutor's office for review.

I dont condone the mans behavior but that dealership must tick off an awful lot of people, I have been up there many times for issues with my own car (purchased from there) and on two different occasions there were others up there complaining very loudly and one was threatening Jay himself. I will never purchase another car from there again.

It would be helpful to know, if it actually was seismic testing. Following the last episode (byRead More West Bay) it was noted, at the Highland Twp Board meeting by the Sheriff's office, that residents would receive notification prior to any such future events. If so, who received notice and how was this communicated? An announcement in the "Patch" would have been useful.... The Tues. June 25th TOWN HALL 6 - 8pm, by the WRC (Water Resources Commissioner) Jim Nash, will provide an abundance of information on issues re oil/gas drilling and fracking, which EVERYONE needs to know due to impacts on both surface and ground (well) water. Particularly, those who have been approached with an oil/gas lease (ie; near Clyde Rd & Hickory Ridge, re exploration for drilling on the 'soccer field'). People need to know what they are getting into. If it comes to drilling/fracking, seismic testing will be seen as trivial.

After the last round of explosions I contacted Patrick Gibson at West Bay Exploration Company andRead More was told that yes, they have been conducting tests in the area over the last 18 months and "The impact of these charges is barely audible at the surface and would not sound like an explosion on neighboring property. Landowners affected by the survey are contacted through the mail so that they are aware of our timing. I am not sure what your mysterious explosions were, but I am pretty sure they were not the result of our surveys." In the press release provided by Laura Vogel today Oakland County Water Resources Commissioner Jim Nash says Thousands of acres of land in Oakland has been leased to Jordan Exploration. I am again confused. Do both companies have leases in Oakland County? Is it legal for them to detonate dynamite at all hours?

So, Patrick Gibson can check West Bay records then KNOW if their testing occurred on Sat. 6/15/13Read More 9pm, instead of being 'pretty sure'. Guess I'll have to call Pat .... Getting answers to your questions re the companies involved, Gerry, can be mysterious too --- but, likely just a technicality as this industry includes 3 types, to: explore; drill; and extract (and/or frack). So, nailing anyone down to answer questions or get a commitment is elusive at best. Change the way the State of Michigan is obligated by legislation to foster the oil and gas industry, to instead protect public health. Support the ballot initiative: LetsBanFracking.org

What happened to the ditch that was next to the road way back when, did all the homeowners fill itRead More in over years and now you have a problem, call the county and have them reditch the side of the road.
Marlie still missing - has possibly been spotted close to Trenton and Woodsedge.
