MEDIA RELEASE/ FRAUDULENT SCAM TARGETING SENIOR CITIZENS:

On Thursday, August 13, 2026, at approximately 11:30a.m., the Huron Township Police Department responded to the 18000 block of Inkster Road for a fraud investigation.

A 90-year-old Huron Township resident reported being scammed out of more than $12,000. The victim reported that a male called his phone and represented himself as a lawyer. The male told him that his granddaughter had been arrested and needed money to get out of jail. The scammers had a female impersonating his granddaughter talk to the victim by phone and the victim believed it was his granddaughter.

The “lawyer” told the victim that $12,500 was needed in cash immediately and that he would send a “bondsman” to come to the residence to pick up the cash. The victim obtained the cash and within approximately 15 minutes, a black female arrived at his residence, obtained the cash, and left. It was later verified that his granddaughter was NOT incarcerated, but instead at work.

“This is a despicable act of preying on one of our incredible seniors who’s only intention was to try and help his family. This scam went a step further than many with a person coming directly to the victim’s residence to pick up money. We wanted to get this out quickly to the public to make sure no one else becomes a victim. We will use every resource available to us to catch these people who are rotten to their core.”

“It is important for everyone to know that the police or lawyers will never call you to pick up money for situations like this. You should NEVER give cash or send money to anyone who randomly calls you on the phone. With AI technology, thieves can make family members sound real on the phone. If you get a call that says your family member is in jail or hurt, we recommend that you first try and call the family member directly and if you can’t reach them, call us and we will be happy to help you figure out if the situation is real and what you should do next. Again, never send anyone money OR give them cash.”
-Everette Robbins, Director of Public Safety

MEDIA RELEASE/ CARRYING CONCEALED WEAPON ARREST:

On Thursday, August 6, 2026, at approximately 2:38p.m., Officers assigned to the Huron Township Police Department Traffic Services Unit observed a vehicle travelling well above the posted speed limit on I-275 near Willow Road. The vehicle was registered out of the state of Ohio and was pulling a trailer registered out of the state of Kansas.

The driver was a 26-year-old male resident of Toledo, Ohio. Upon further investigation, officers located an illegally concealed handgun on the driver’s person within the suspect vehicle. The handgun was not registered. In addition, the driver has a valid warrant for his arrest and was taken into custody for the warrant as well as carrying a concealed weapon.

The driver is being held in custody pending review of the submitted charges by the Office of the Wayne County Prosecuting Attorney.

“This is just one example of the incredible proactive work being done every day by our officers. What started out as a traffic stop for speeding quickly turned into potential felony charges. We truly believe that high visibility coupled with proactive policing makes Huron Township a safer place to live, work, and visit.”

MEDIA RELEASE/ PROACTIVE DISTRACTED DRIVING INTITIATIVE:

On Thursday, July 30, 2026, The Huron Township Police Department conducted a proactive distracted driving initiative specifically targeting drivers that were violating the Michigan distracted driving law. Distracted driving creates a hazardous situation for other drivers.

The proactive detail was conducted by the Huron Township Police Department Traffic Services Unit. In addition to just traffic enforcement, this unit has recently conducted proactive details such as warrant sweeps, impaired driving, s*x offender registry checks, and school bus passing enforcement.

The distracted driving detail resulted in the following statistics on July 30, 2026:

 (17) Citations were issued specifically for drivers that were were in violation of the Michigan hands free law

In addition, the following arrests and citations also occurred during this proactive detail relating to Distracted Driving Enforcement efforts:

 (17) other citations were issued that resulted in traffic stops for distracted driving

 (27) Total traffic Stops were initiated due to a driver being distracted while driving.

"The level of focus, professionalism, and teamwork displayed by our officers throughout this detail was outstanding. Their hard work today not only resulted in meaningful enforcement, but also helped raise awareness about the dangers of distracted driving in our community."

“It is likely that our residents saw the increased visibility from our officers throughout the day today. Distracted driving is an epidemic that affects all of us and is something we believe needs to be seriously addressed. The danger that exists when a driver decides they must text while in control of their vehicle can be devastating to their family or someone else’s. We have seen it all too often and even here in Huron Township. Hopefully this can spark some conversation between parents and their young drivers as well.”

MEDIA RELEASE/ CRIMINAL SEXUAL CONDUCT INVESTIGATION AND ARREST:

On July 28, 2026, at approximately 12:13a.m., Huron Township Police Department Dispatch received a call from a mother stating that the suspect, Thomas Ogle, may have s*xually assaulted her 3-year-old daughter. The s*xual assault was reported to have occurred just hours prior on July 27, 2026, in the 39000 block of Carlisle Street.

The Huron Township Police Department immediately began an investigation. On July 28, 2026, The Huron Township Police Department contacted the suspect, Thomas Ogle. Thomas Ogle confessed to s*xually assaulting the 3-year-old victim. Thomas Ogle was immediately placed under arrest.

The investigation was turned over to the Office of the Wayne County Prosecuting Attorney who charged Thomas Ogle with the following charges:

750.520c(1)(a) and MCL 750.520c(2)(b). [750.520C2B]
SORA NOTICE: This is a Tier III offense under the S*x Offender Registration Act (SORA). MCL 28.722(w)(v).

FELONY:15 Years; lifetime electronic monitoring upon parole from prison; mandatory AIDS/STD testing; DNA to be taken upon arrest.

Thomas Ogle was arraigned on the above charges at the 34th District Court. He was given a $100,000/ 10% bond. He was transported to the Wayne County Jail where he remains in custody at the time of this media release.

“This is one of the most disturbing cases that any of us have seen in our law enforcement careers. This is a total betrayal by a person that naturally should have been able to be trusted. I have great respect for the child’s mother who immediately came forward to make sure her daughter was protected and Mr. Ogle was held accountable."

MEDIA RELEASE/ SHOTS FIRED INVESTIGATION:

During the early morning of July 27, 2026, The Huron Township Department of Public Safety responded to the 29000 block of Rosewood (Country Meadows Mobile Home Community) for a report of shots fired. At approximately 3:35a.m., the resident at that address called 911 to report that they believed someone was trying to break into their residence and in response, they fired a shot from a handgun in the general direction of where they believed the offenders to be. They were unsure if anyone was hit with the shot.

The Huron Township Detective Bureau and Evidence Technician Unit responded to assist with the investigation. Further investigation revealed that juveniles were out knocking on doors and playing “ding d**g ditch.” There was no attempted entry into the residence. The homeowner fired one shot through the residence window in the direction of the juveniles.

All of the juveniles were located and identified, none were injured. Surrounding homes were checked for bullet damage as well as any potential injuries from the stray bullet. No additional injuries or damage was located.

Three juveniles, ages 16, 17, and 17 were issued citations from Creating a Disturbance. The parents of the juveniles will be issued a citation for parental responsibility. The homeowner was issued a citation for Reckless Discharge of a Firearm.

“This situation could have had a much worse outcome. While this is a kids game that has been played for a long time, banging on a person’s door in the middle of the night while they’re sleeping can force them to make split second decisions that can have deadly consequences. Parents, please use this as an opportunity to talk to your kids about this type of behavior. A reminder that it is a parent’s responsibility to know where their children are, especially during the overnight hours. It is also the responsibility of a gun owner to know exactly what they are pointing their weapon at and shooting towards. Hopefully this can be a learning experience for all of us.”
