Macomb County teen charged with armed robbery; assaulting mom after being released
The Brief A Macomb County teen arrested for breaking and entering posed a unique challenge due to a Personal Protection Order preventing his placement in the local Juvenile Justice Center. Prosecutor Pete Lucido sought and obtained a modified court order to house the teen at the center, despite the PPO, citing concerns for the teen's and public's safety after alleged assaults at home. The goal is to provide the juvenile with necessary counseling and help before he turns 18, facing potential adult charges and incarceration if efforts fail. MACOMB, Mich. (FOX 2) - The Macomb County Prosecutor had to take some unusual steps to take a teen into custody – and also hopefully get him some help he needs. Prosecutor Pete Lucido and law enforcement had a unique case last week after the juvenile was arrested for breaking and entering. Due to his age, he was supposed to head to a group home. But there was a problem. "So there was a Personal Protection Order, also known as a PPO, that was in place from one of the employees at the Juvenile Justice Center here in Macomb County to have no contact or be around an individual who's a juvenile," Lucido said. But the teen needed help. "Because the juvenile or the youth was a threat to himself and or others we had to make sure that we get him into the youth home," Lucido said. With the teen in need of help, but a legal order preventing him from going to the place that would help him, Lucido had a rare problem. "It's one in a zillion that this happens, but it happened in this case and do you follow the court order that says that there's supposed to be no contact or do you violate the court order? What's in the best interest for the juvenile? What's in the best interest for the public?" Lucido said. After being picked up for breaking and entering and with nowhere to go, the juvenile went home – where Lucido said things got worse. "It's alleged that there were assaults against the mother and the sister," he said. The juvenile was arrested again after allegedly committing another breaking and entering. So Lucido had to act fast. "In this case Wayne County had taken him for the night and the next day he was brought over to Macomb County and we worked it out by getting the judge to modify the order," Lucido said. Ultimately, he was allowed to be lodged at the justice center, which is uncommon but needed to be done. What's next The goal is to get the teen counseling and help before the juvenile turns 18. "If it doesn't succeed this time he's on or she's on her way to adult supervision and that also means incarceration," Lucido said. The teen is back in court next week for a hearing. Lucido said the juvenile could still be charged as an adult.

Odessans asked for new courthouse input
May 14—The general consensus of a Wednesday public meeting to guide the look and amenities of the coming courthouse seems to be creating a space that the next generation will find was a good investment. Members of the Butler-Cohen design-build team met with a variety of Odessans from those who work at the courthouse to elected officials to folks who are just interested in the project. A new courthouse is coming and is funded by $325 million in certificates of obligation issued by county commissioners last November. The certificates will also fund an overhaul of the Ector County Juvenile Justice Center. Since that time it's been a bit of a roller coaster of land purchases and a current state of uncertainty of where the courthouse will be built. The preferred plan is to build it at the site of the current downtown U.S. Post Office. The county purchased that land for $4.7 million last year. What is holding things up is an agreement with the USPS to abandon that office and relocate as they still have a lease on the space despite the sale of the land. Originally the county was going to assist the USPS in finding a new location but that has been abandoned as the amount the USPS pays to lease the downtown location and the needs of the USPS for what that new office will entail have been problematic, per County Judge Dustin Fawcett. Fawcett has said the county now hopes to get the USPS to sign on the dotted line to leave their current spot and move into the bottom floor of the planned parking garage that will sit near the new courthouse. That agreement, Fawcett said, should have some answer in the next 30 days or so. If a deal cannot be reached the new courthouse will have to be relocated. Commissioner Samantha Russell has pitched locating the new courthouse at the site of the current health department. That plan, Fawcett said, was looked at about 18 months ago by the court prior to Russell taking office. On Tuesday members of the committee created to look at building a new library admonished the court telling them that health department land was promised to the group for a new library build. The library group did not walk away Tuesday with the deed to the land but did get a promised $10 million in county funds moved into an account that can be used as the new library moves forward. They were asked to be patient until word from USPS and their plans are decided. On Tuesday the commissioners court also agreed to allow Butler-Cohen the use of the old Henderson Drug building as a construction office for the life of the courthouse project. The Butler-Cohen reps led the Wednesday meeting and said other meetings as well as a website and a QR code will be used to keep the public informed and to solicit suggestions from Odessans about what they called a project that will change the face of downtown Odessa. Participants asked for a new courthouse that is cost efficient, taxpayer friendly, easy to maintain and accessible to all. Parking was a major concern that came up over and over. Russell had pitched not building a parking garage in a previous commissioners meeting but that idea seemed to be overwhelmingly panned Wednesday by those who work downtown and use the courthouse daily. Some said courthouse staff can have to walk several blocks just to get to the office and that a parking garage is important. Butler-Cohen reps said there is value in having these meetings for the collaboration and to end up with a system that is user friendly and what the community needs. Other ideas thrown out included an outdoor area that is secure for employees to use as well as color coordinated signage and drive through or walk up windows for those doing business at the court. On June 23 the group will meet stakeholders for operational discussions. The new courthouse will be funded by $325 million in certificates of obligation issued by county commissioners in November. The debt will increase property taxes for Ector County residents. Owners of a $210,000 home in Ector County will pay about $17 more a month in property taxes. A $210,000 home has a $170,000 taxable value. The certificates will also fund an overhaul of the Ector County Juvenile Justice Center.
