Debris flies toward 3 Pontiac children after pickup truck strikes their apartment
Three children had to climb out of a window to escape after a pickup truck crashed into the front door of their apartment in Pontiac, Michigan, sending debris flying their way. The crash happened at about 12:20 a.m. Saturday on Firelite Lane near Cherry Hill Drive. The children — a 13-year-old girl and two 10-year-old boys — were in the living room when the 2018 Chevrolet Silverado smashed into the building, according to the report from Oakland County Sheriff's Office. As deputies were en route to the scene, officers were told the Silverado driver was running away while carrying a dog. The children had just gone to the apartment to pick up some personal items and were planning to return momentarily to a babysitter's home across the street at the time of the crash. Because the truck crashed through the front door and front window of the apartment, they had to break out another window and climb out that way to get out. The three "suffered minor scrapes from flying debris," the report said, but were treated at the scene. In the meantime, a crowd of people pointed deputies to a woman who was, by that time, being held by a security guard as the driver in the incident. That woman, a 36-year-old Pontiac resident, was taken to the hospital for a check on possible injuries. In the meantime, the woman denied she was the driver of the vehicle. Deputies said she was arrested on a charge of operating a vehicle while intoxicated, but was released from custody pending toxicology tests.

Michigan teen arrested for social media threat months after caught with machete at Lake Orion High School
A Michigan teen was taken into custody on Friday for allegedly posting a social media threat three months after he was caught on school grounds with a machete. According to the Oakland County Sheriff's Office, Lake Orion High School officials learned of a threat posted on Snapchat on Thursday. An investigation led deputies to the 17-year-old, who was not a student at the school. The teen told authorities the threat was against a student and not the school, according to the sheriff's office. The teen, who is currently not enrolled in any school, was arrested at his home in Pontiac. The sheriff's office says the teen was previously arrested on Feb. 7 after he was caught at the same school wearing all black and carrying a backpack that had a machete and three knives inside. He was arrested a month later for allegedly assaulting his father. "Everyone should very clearly know at this point that we have a zero tolerance for individuals that make threats against schools or other people," Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard said in a statement. "This particular young person is already charged with bringing weapons on a school grounds and this is on the heels of that incident. I'm glad we quickly located and arrested him, helping to put the school and students at ease. I look forward to more accountability for him from the system."
