ROYAL OAK After an investigation into threats of violence against Huron-Clinton Metroparks police officers made via a phone call to the administration office, the Livingston County Prosecutor’s Office issued a misdemeanor warrant to a 71-year-old Royal Oak man Feb. 23.
Authorities canceled the deer cull scheduled at Kensington Metropark in Milford the next day in response to the threats, which they deemed credible.
The charge is malicious use of a telecommunications service, which is punishable by six months in jail and/or a $1,000 fine. The case will be heard in the 53rd District Court in Howell after the suspect turns himself in.

There was a special presentation recently on the need to replace the Murphy Lake Dam.
“The county is responsible for making sure this dam is kept up so you need to understand that, and what is going on,” said Tuscola County Drain Commissioner Robert Mantey, who is the manager of the dam.
Very little work has been done on the dam over the years despite recommendations of needed improvements.
“Two of the spillways were coated with concrete to prevent further corrosion that was occurring, Mantey said. The corrosion was detected in 1974. It was recommended at that time to do something but nothing happened until 1983. In 1997, there was a 48 niche metal main pipe that was recommended to be replaced with a concrete or plastic pipe; but instead, it was cleaned and coated onsite. The recommendations of a professional engineer were not followed.
