Police Blotter: Road Rage, Home Invasion, Euthanasia and Credit Card Fraud

Woman wearing Meijer shirt involved in road rage incident

An Oakland Township man filed a report with the Oakland County Sheriff's Office after his wife and teenage son were involved in a road rage incident near Hixon and Gunn roads in Oakland Township.

According to a sheriff's office report, the incident occurred the morning of June 3 when the 14-year-old, a student driver, "may have made a bad judgment call by turning his car from southbound Hixon onto eastbound Gunn Road with traffic approaching from the east."

The male driver of the oncoming vehicle "slammed on his brakes, came to a stop in the intersection, slammed it in reverse, spun his tires then stopped," read the report. The driver then "exited his vehicle along with a white female and began yelling profanities and shaking his finger."

The teenage driver and his mother stayed in the vehicle and were "somewhat afraid of what the individual was going to do," read the report. The individuals could not be identified, nor could the white vehicle they were driving, though the "complainant noted that the female had a Meijer shirt on."

Man enters mobile home while resident reads in bed

A resident on the 400 block of Birch Hill Court was reading a book on her bed when someone entered her home through the unlocked front door just before 1 a.m. Tuesday, according to a sheriff's office report.

The report stated the woman called out to ask who was there, but nobody answered, though she heard someone telling her dog to "hush." She said she then heard the door close again and looked out to see "a white male wearing a light-colored tank top and blue shorts with white stripes walking away from the front of her house," according to the report.

Nothing was missing from the home, and there are no suspects at this time.

Credit card number used for fraudulent $408.75 Foot Locker purchase

An Oakland Township resident filed a police report Tuesday after discovering that someone had used her credit card number to pay for merchandise totaling $408.75 at a Foot Locker store in Redford, according to a sheriff's office report.

The woman does not know how the person got her card number; she contacted her credit union and canceled the card. There are no suspects at this time.

Trash dumped in the township
