Possible "Bike Bandit" Arraigned In Ann Arbor Heist

News Photo 3/11/10 - A Stockbridge man thought to be Hartland’s so-called “Bike Bandit” has been arraigned on charges connected to an Ann Arbor bank robbery. 32 year old Kye Abraham was caught in Ann Arbor Monday after a witness saw him load a bike into a pickup truck after dropping some money. He led police on a chase that ended when his truck ran over spike strips police had placed on I-94. He abandoned the truck but was taken into custody after a brief foot chase. He was arraigned Wednesday on charges of bank robbery, assault with a dangerous weapon, 3rd degree fleeing and eluding police and assaulting and obstructing a police officer. A preliminary exam was set for March 17th. Livingston County Sheriff Bob Bezotte tells WHMI that they continue to try and determine conclusively if Abraham is responsible for the February 18th robbery at the Hartland Chase Bank branch on M-59, which like the Ann Arbor robbery was carried out by a man who witnesses saw speeding away on a bicycle. He’s also believed to be behind two bank robberies in Jackson County. Abraham, who has reportedly not been cooperating with authorities, also served four years in prison in Florida for a robbery conviction until his release in 2007. (JK)
 

Utility Truck Crash Snarls US-23 Wednesday Afternoon

News Photo 3/11/10 - The ramp from southbound US-23 to westbound I-96 was shut down for most of Wednesday afternoon due to an accident involving a utility truck. The ramp from M-59 in Hartland Township to southbound US-23 was also closed briefly. Michigan State Police at the Brighton Post tell WHMI that the truck struck the scaffolding holding various road signs over southbound US-23, then left the roadway and overturned at about 11:45am. The truck also had a minor fuel leak. The Michigan Department of Transportation closed southbound US-23 near M-59 at about 3:30 in the afternoon as crews worked to remove the damaged scaffolding from the sign. The sign will be replaced at a later date. (JK)
 

Police Release Composite Sketch In Possible Abduction

News Photo 3/11/10 - The Livingston County Sheriff’s Department has released the composite sketch of the man who may have tried to possibly abduct a child at a Hartland Township bus stop last week. The incident happened shortly after 4:20 Friday afternoon in the area of Long Lake Drive and North Court where a 12year old girl was waiting for the school bus to drop off her younger sibling. The girl told police that a man pulled up next to her in his vehicle, put his window down, and told her to come closer. The girl said she began to run away, but when she called her small dog by name, the suspect reached out the window grabbed the dog by its collar, although it managed to break free. The girl then reportedly hid behind a nearby mound of snow and said the suspect turned his vehicle in the street toward her direction then pulled into a driveway. He left after the school bus arrived, heading south on Long Lake. Deputies canvassed the neighborhood, but were unable to locate any witnesses. The suspect is described as a heavier-set, middle-aged white male with short, spiked gray hair and a moustache. He was wearing black sunglasses and a black leather jacket. The girl said he spoke with an accent, but she thought it was fake. The suspect’s vehicle is described as being a light blue newer model four door car with dark tinted windows. Anyone with information related to this case is urged to call Detective Sgt. Childers at 517-540-7956 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-SPEAKUP. (JK)
 

Livingston County Designated "Recovery Zone"

News Photo 3/11/10 - Livingston County is moving forward with a federal program that could create jobs and allow needed infrastructure work. As a result of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, the county was given the authority to allocate up to $40 million in bonds for construction projects in the municipal, commercial and industrial arenas. The first step was for the county to pass a resolution identifying the area it would allocate the bonds. Commissioner Dave Domas tells WHMI it was decided the entire county would be a designed “recovery zone”, so anyone in the county can qualify for the bonding. While the bonds are taxable, Domas says the federal government will pay about 45% of the interest on the bonds payments, so it works out favorably for those involved. Up to $15 (m) million will be available to municipal units of governments for use in financing infrastructure projects such as road and sewer work. The balance is available for private sector projects, such as programs for buildings or developments where bonding has been difficult to get… The county is now working with the Economic Development Council to draft selection criteria.

Hartland Girls' Basketball Run Comes To An End

3/10/10 - Needless to say, it was an eventful season. Despite their struggles during the beginning of the KLAA division schedule, the Hartland ladies never lost their confidence, and they seemed to always rise to the occasion when a challenge presented itself. Unfortunately, it came to an abrupt end against the Canton Chief ladies last night in Ann Arbor.

The final score: Canton 58 Hartland 34

During the game, it was only close during the beginning of the contest, but as they did all year long, the Eagles never stopped giving 100%. That same attitude provided them with an overall record coming into tonight of 17-6, but the Canton team showed their superiority and extended their current winning streak to 23 straight.

The Hartland Eagles end their year with a record of 17-7, and will hold the bragging rights of being the last team in the area to be eliminated in the 2009-2010 season.
