Michigan man accused of embezzling thousands from his grandfather
(CBS DETROIT) - A 33-year-old Redford man has been charged with embezzling thousands of dollars from his grandfather, officials said. Darius Nance was arraigned Friday on one count of embezzlement from a vulnerable adult – $1,000 or more but less than $20,000. If convicted, he faces up to five years in prison and/or a fine of $10,000 or three times the value of the money or property that was embezzled, whichever is greater. According to Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel, Nance was appointed his grandfather's guardian shortly after he was admitted to the SKLD Bloomfield Hills nursing facility in October 2022. Nance allegedly did not make any payments to the nursing facility and wrote several checks from his grandfather's account for his own business dealings. "Court-appointed guardians are entrusted with the vital responsibility of protecting our most vulnerable citizens," said Nessel in a statement. "My office will continue to hold accountable those who use guardianships to unlawfully enrich themselves." Nance is back in court for a probable cause conference on Sept. 3. He has a preliminary examination on Sept. 9.

Michigan better get used to very sticky air, here’s when it ends
We have one weather system we can bank on to lower the humidity. That weather system is in our sights, but quite far out in time. Remember, the dew point temperature is the best way to gauge if us Michiganders are going to be uncomfortable due to humidity. The dew point temperature is still a tough concept to grasp for some. All you really need to know is higher dew points mean a higher stickiness feel to the air. For most Michiganders a dew point temperature of 65 degrees or higher gives a muggy feel. A dew point temperature over 70 degrees is a very sticky feel. Finally, when dew point temperatures rise to 75 degrees or higher the humidity is extremely oppressive. I’ve seen an isolated dew point at 80 degrees three times in my 32 years here in Michigan.

Report: Michigan football has officially received the NOA from the NCAA
The NCAA wants to control the narrative as it pertains to Michigan football and Connor Stalions and it’s done exactly that thus far. But on Tuesday, that may change. Perhaps that expedited the governing body’s investigation into the Wolverines as usually such undertakings require years before teams ever receive a notice of allegations. However, a draft of the NOA was leaked three weeks ago, detailing what the NCAA was likely to charge Michigan with — which included both Jim Harbaugh and Connor Stalions having a ‘failure to cooperate,’ Sherrone Moore deleting text messages between himself and Stalions, some minor recruiting violations, and more.

The world's deadliest bug is becoming even more dangerous in Michigan. Mosquitos are usually active in Michigan from March to November. June through September are typically the peak months for mosquitos in the mitten state. Getting bit by a mosquito can be much more than annoying as they can carry and pass on multiple deadly diseases. The biggest one would be Malaria which killed over 600,000 people in 2021 alone. However, Malaria isn't the disease that has medical officials scrambling right now.
