GROSSE POINTE SHORES, Mich. – A local attorney who was recently ticketed for his Black Lives Matter sign now has a new set of problems.

“I open it and I was flabbergasted,” said Perkins.
It was the last thing Perkins was expecting to find when opening up a stack of mail.
“The irony of it is at the time, I’m doing a Zoom call with African American males about knowing your rights,” said Perkins.
