Detroit man charged with breaking into Shelby Township apartment
A Detroit man has been facing a pair of felony charges in connection with breaking into a Shelby Township apartment in July. In the early morning hours of July 28, Shelby Township police responded to a report of a break-in in the area of West Utica and Ryan roads after a woman reported receiving videos on her phone of a man inside her apartment. By the time officers arrived at the residence, the suspect, identified as Gjervon Rodney Williams of Detroit, had left. On Aug. 8, police received a FLOCK hit on Williams' car and arrested him during a traffic stop in Shelby Township. While searching his vehicle, police say they found a loaded gun that was reported stolen out of Detroit, as well as several credit cards that were not in Williams' name. Williams was lodged at the Macomb County Jail. He was arraigned on Aug. 8 on charges of felony home invasion and receiving and concealing a firearm. "This arrest shows exactly why investigative tools like FLOCK are so valuable. By combining technology with proactive police work, our great officers were able to quickly locate Williams, get him into custody and prevent any further criminal activity. Shelby Township is now safer with another stolen gun off the streets and this criminal behind bars," said Shelby Township Chief of Police Robert J. Shelide in a statement.

Man accused of ramming car into Liverpool soccer parade faces a further 24 charges
LONDON (AP) — The man accused of ramming his car into a parade of Liverpool soccer fans in May as the team was celebrating its Premier League triumph is to face a further 24 charges, including two relating to victims who were babies. Paul Doyle, 53, was in tears as he appeared over videolink from prison for the Liverpool Crown Court hearing on Thursday. During the hearing, he was informed of the new charges, 23 of which were for assault. Six of the new charges relate to children, including two babies aged 6 and 7 months at the time. He was originally charged with seven offenses after the incident in the city center on May 26. Doyle is expected to enter pleas on Sept. 4. Fans had been celebrating Liverpool's record-tying 20th title when Doyle allegedly drove down a street full of fans and joy quickly turned to tragedy. Police said they believed Doyle got through a roadblock by following an ambulance that was trying to reach a possible heart attack victim. In a video the car could be seen hitting and sending a person wrapped in a red Liverpool flag into the air before swerving into a sea of people packed on the side of the road. At least four people, including a child, had to be freed from beneath the vehicle when it came to a halt. The victims ranged in age from 9 to 78, police said. The suspect was believed to have acted alone and terrorism was not suspected, Merseyside Police said. They have not disclosed an alleged motive for the act.
