Trenton man charged for attempting to meet 15-year-old girl, sending explicit photos
A Downriver man has been charged with communications and attempt to meet an online contact that was an undercover officer, but whom he believed to be a 15-year-old girl. Andrew Day, 30, of Trenton, has been charged with accosting a child for immoral purposes, which is a 4-year felony, and using a computer to commit a crime, which is a 1-year misdemeanor, Macomb County Prosecutor Peter J. Lucido announced. The online communications took place on July 14 via Reddit. The undercover officer, who portrayed themselves as a 15-year-old girl, was sent explicit photos and messages about explicit activities. Day made arrangements to meet the teenager on Aug. 11 for sexual relations, the report said, and he was arrested after arriving at the intended location. Day was arraigned on Tuesday at the 37th District Court in Warren. His bond was set at $100,000. If released on bond, the conditions will include a GPS tether and no use of the internet. A probable cause conference is scheduled for Aug. 6, with a preliminary examination scheduled for Sept. 2.

Record parking fines cause for concern
"Record numbers" of parking fines issued by Warwick District Council have led to concerns among local politicians, even though the fines provide a cash boost to the authority. A budget monitoring report showed that the council expected to bring in £79,000 extra parking income this financial year. At a meeting, cabinet heard a spike in fines persisted, leaving members to question whether it was because of car park systems, misunderstandings by the public, or new payment apps. Conservative councillor Andrew Day, the former leader of the authority, said: "We want to better understand why the penalty charges are continuing." The budget monitoring report said: "After the parking service underwent an alignment in July last year, the increase in Penalty Charge Notices (PCNs) being issued were expected to stabilise. "However, we continue to see record numbers of PCNs being issued, increasing income for this service." Day said of the situation: "It is a cause for concern." He asked: "Is that the nature of the way our car parks are set up? Is it the charges? What are members of the public doing, are they misunderstanding the way the arrangements work? Is it something with the new parking apps? "It can cause quite a lot of angst among residents if they are getting these charges, it is something we would like to see reduced, not continue at the level it is." Portfolio holder for neighbourhoods, Green Party councillor Will Robert, said the issue would be considered as part of an upcoming review and the council did not want to see parking fines "this high". But he said: "Our wardens are in the car parks and when people don't pay for their parking or park across the lines, they are doing their job."
