MICHIGAN SUPREME COURT WON’T CONSIDER TERM LIMITS CASE, FOUTS SAYS IT’S NOT OVER BY GENA JOHNSON gjohnson@candgnews.com
WARREN — On May 18, Mayor James Fouts had a press conference to address the Michigan Supreme Court’s decision not to hear the case that ordered him off the 2023 Warren primary ballot. In a May 19 interview, Fouts said he is not to be counted out. “It is not over. I am going to continue to look closely at the opinion of the judges, whether there was any conflict of interest, whether there was any questionable vote. I do not believe that they followed the rule of law. They must have just followed something else. It certainly wasn’t the
rule of law,” the mayor said. “This ballot proposal was not clear. And the Supreme Court opinions have always been, if it is not clear, it is not legal.” The press conference and Fouts’ remarks afterward came in response to the Michigan Supreme Court’s decision not to consider an appellate court ruling that left Fouts ineligible to run for an unprecedented fifth four-year term, potentially ending the legal wrangling that has gone on for months. At the press conference, some elected city officials were denied entry. “I heard it was a press conference on city property, in a city building, on city time, so I thought I would go to See FOUTS on page 18A

ROSEVILLE/ST. CLAIR SHORES/WARREN — A suspect is in custody and facing a first-degree murder charge, among other charges, in the death of a woman in Roseville and the stabbing of a man in St. Clair Shores May 17. At approximately 6 a.m. May 17, Roseville officers were dispatched to a Belle Tire in the 32000 block of Gratiot Avenue. When they arrived, they located the woman, who had been stabbed and whose throat had been cut, according to
the Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office. The victim has been identified as 60-year-old Cheryl Ryan-Parsley. A Gofundme page has been set up to help her family with funeral arrangements. At press time, it had reached $5,425. “She was loved by so many and died in such a sad and senseless manner,” the fundraising page states. The fundraiser also states that Ryan-Parsley had suffered from poor health earlier in the year. “Cheryl was her husband’s whole world, and now he and her children are lost,” the fundraising page reads. After the attack on Ryan-Parsley, the suspect, identified by the Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office as 31-year-old
Shane Burns, allegedly drove to St. Clair Shores and committed another attack roughly 15 minutes after the attack on Ryan-Parsley. “There was a 43-year-old male St. Clair Shores resident who was at a bus stop on Harper south of 12 Mile who was approached by a stranger and stabbed several times,” St. Clair Shores Police Chief Jason Allen said. The victim in the St. Clair Shores incident has been identified as Robert Baecke. A Gofundme page was created by his employers, The Pool Guys LLC, to assist with his medical bills. At press time, it had reached $12,475 of its $30,000 goal. See SUSPECT on page 11A
