Two people accused of breaking Detroit's 36th District Court building window with slingshot
Two people who were accused of vandalizing the Guardian Building in Detroit are also charged with vandalizing the city's 36th District Court, according to the Wayne County Prosecutor's Office. Ramzu Yunus, 49, of Highland Park, Michigan, and Angela Tajuan Williams, 57, of Waldorf, Maryland, were arraigned in the same courthouse on Wednesday that they were accused of vandalizing. The duo was charged with malicious destruction of a building between $1,000 and $20,000. Additionally, Yunus was charged with possession of a firearm by a prohibited person, carrying a concealed weapon and two counts of felony firearm. They each received $100,000 personal bond. Prosecutors say at about 4:30 a.m. on July 19, the duo allegedly used slingshots to break a window of the courthouse in the 4200 block of Madison Street. No one was injured. Police arrested Yunus and Williams later that day at Madison Street near Witherell Street during a traffic stop. During the arrest, police spotted Yunus wearing an empty holster on his hip and uncovered a handgun with ammunition and a slingshot with metal pellets inside the vehicle. Their next court hearing is on July 29. "The alleged actions of these defendants were a direct attack on various buildings that are utilized on a daily basis in the criminal justice system in Wayne County. These actions certainly will not be tolerated," said Prosecutor Kym Worthy in a statement. In a separate incident, prosecutors allege that Yunus and Williams used a slingshot that same day to break a glass revolving door at the Guardian Building. Yunus was charged with malicious destruction of a building, possession of a firearm by a prohibited person, carrying a concealed weapon and two counts of felony firearm in that case. Williams was charged with malicious destruction of a building. The prosecutor's office says it is investigating alleged vandalism incidents that happened at two other buildings in Detroit.

A free concert kicks off Wayne County's week of faith and outreach
A revival push in Wayne County is set to begin with a two-pronged kickoff, featuring worship, learning and a week of community outreach. The community is invited to worship together and learn more about upcoming events at 6:30 p.m. Sunday, July 20, at Orrville Baptist Church, 204 Bell Ave., Orrville. The gathering is intended to prepare attendees for a weeklong revival effort that is scheduled to launch with a free public concert by David Leonard at 6:30 p.m. July 25 at Fisher Auditorium on the OARDC Wooster campus of OSU, according to a community announcement. David Leonard is described as a nationally known contemporary Christian singer-songwriter, with songs such as "Good Lord," "Great Are You Lord" and "Come As You Are. " He is coming to Wayne County through River Radio, which has a regional station in Wooster. From July 26-31, Wayne County churches are teaming with reviveOHIO, an organization that brings missionaries and volunteers from Ohio and beyond. The week is expected to include prayer, outreach, meals and worship, as local churches work together to reach out to the community. 'ReviveOHIO's mission is to unite and equip local believers to go out into their community to pray for people, share the good news of the Gospel, and make disciples of Jesus Christ,' reviveOHIO State Director Mark Burd said in the announcement. 'Wayne County will be the 20th county over the past nine years where churches have invited us to work alongside them for at least a week of this kind of special focus. 'This is a shift from the traditional method of just hoping everyone in the community decides to go to church on Sunday, Burd added. "We want to follow the example of Jesus Himself, and go into the marketplace where people are, and personally invite them to know Him. This is a great way to reach out and 'love our neighbors' without cramming religion down their throats." Still time to get involved At least 19 church congregations or individuals from those churches have indicated plans to be involved as of July 10 and organizers are encouraging more churches and individuals to participate. 'We still see a lot of opportunity to get involved in things like hosting a missionary or helping to serve a meal,' said Chris Clark, who is part of the local organizing group. Opportunities to participate include attending training and outreach, hosting missionaries or helping with meal preparation and serving. Daily testimonies and lunches will be hosted at various church locations at noon, followed by teams trained and going out at 2 pm.
