Howell man bound over for alleged threats against sitting judge

A local man has been bound over after allegedly making death threats against a sitting circuit court judge, according to a release from Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel . Kyle Fawaz, 31, of Howell, was bound over Nov. 3 to Livingston County's 44th Circuit Court. In October , he was charged with making a terroristic threat and using a computer to commit a crime (both felonies with sentences up to 20 years) and malicious use of telecommunications services (a six-month misdemeanor). Fawaz is accused of sending several text messages to his probation officer in August, stating his intent to kill the judge and adding he had large quantities of chemicals that could be used to make a bomb, according to Nessel. More: Howell man allegedly made death threats against judge in Detroit The judge in question had overseen a prior criminal case concerning Fawaz in Wayne County's 3rd Circuit Court. “Public servants, from judges to clerks to local officials and lawmakers, shouldn’t have to fear for their personal safety, or their very lives, for fulfilling their duties,” Nessel repeated in a release Nov. 6. “Threats of this nature are unacceptable against anyone, though when they are made against an officer

Guest Commentary: MSU should reject 'the Putin violinist'

Michigan State University's College of Music will host a virtual masterclass with controversial Kremlin connected violinist, Vadim Repin on Nov. 11. Students should question why MSU is hosting the so-called "Putin violinist." The Kremlin portrays artists like Vadim Repin as a way of presenting the positive side of Russian culture to cover up their invasion of Ukraine. This soft weapon technique is aimed at removing crippling economic sanctions and forgiveness of 227,000 war crimes . Repin portrays himself as apolitical but he reeks of Kremlin influence. His sanctioned wife Svetlana Zakharova is with the ruling United Russia party. She previously endorsed Russia's invasion of Crimea along with 500 other artists. Then in April 2025, Repin participated in a concert broadcasted to Crimea , perceived as a validation of Russia's illegal occupation of the peninsula. In April 2022, Repin was awarded "People's Artist of Russia" by Putin. His arts festival has received funding from Putin's cultural initiatives fund and he recently applied for a $1.2 million dollar grant. Critics allege this fund supports Russian nationalism and aggression. Repin's acceptance of Russian state financial incentives and awards obligates his silence about Russia's war. Any doubts that Repin is a Kremlin propagandist were

DBR Podcast #872: Duke Suffers Fears-full Loss to Sparty

Ugh, that was awful. Duke suffers its first loss of the 2026-27 season in the Champions Classic to Michigan State, and on Episode 872, we discuss what happened. Jason and Donald are not happy, and after a quick review of the good, we get to the meat of why Duke was outmuscled, out-toughed, and outmatched against the Spartans. Jeremy Fears had a great game, but it was the guys around him that gave Duke a punch right in the nose…and Duke, in many ways, couldn’t answer the bell. It’s a lesson learned, and it’s time to get back to the grind to get better.

Washington Football Facing Must-Win Game With Trip to Michigan State

Ahead of their first trip to East Lansing as members of the Big Ten, Washington will face some serious pressure to come out on top over the 3-6 Michigan State Spartans. A win for the Huskies doesn't exactly tip the scales on what has been a disappointing season, but suffering their fifth loss of the season to a team with just one win in conference play could prove to have a major impact on the future of the program. Before taking a snap, Jedd Fisch's program entered the season as the No. 17-ranked team in the country in the preseason AP Poll. With College Football Playoff aspirations from those both within and outside the building, those hopes quickly drifted away. After narrowly escaping their first two games, including a 16-14 win over Utah State in Week Two, the Huskies dropped out of the top 25 and haven't been back since. Since beginning conference play, UW has lost four of six, three of which were at home. To fall short of expectations is one thing, but the fashion in which Washington has done it is concerning. The offense, led by second-year starter Demond Williams Jr. and an offensive line that once

Michigan players say they're aware, but don't care about outside criticism

ANN ARBOR – Michigan players will say they can remain insulated from the outside noise, and that the only thing that matters is what goes on in the football building. But they also admit that things slip through on social media, and they hear the chatter that starts to get louder when a season seems to be tanking. The Wolverines are 5-4 overall, 2-4 Big Ten and are coming off a lethargic loss to Michigan State, in which they had four turnovers and could barely generate any offense. A day later, Michigan head coach Kyle Whittingham, in his first year with the Wolverines after 21 as Utah head coach, fired offensive coordinator Jason Beck after nine games and the offense ranked 132 nd . Whittingham is the face of the program and facing considerable heat, and the players know what is being said about their season and hear the criticism of their head coach. “Yes, we are definitely aware,” cornerback Zeke Berry said after practice Tuesday night, Nov. 10, referring to the negative outside noise. “But we don't care.” Berry was asked what he has heard. “I'm trying to remember,” Berry said, searching for examples. “Like comments on Instagram just

Lansing-area data center plan dead two weeks after it was announced

LANSING — Less than two weeks after unveiling a data center community engagement proces s officials hoped would flip the script on the hotly contested developments, the project is dead. The announcement of a possible data center in Delhi Township and Holt, on the south side of Lansing, by a local economic development agency was met with immediate opposition. The township ended its partnership with the economic development group the next day and had unanimously approved a resolution opposing the data center within three days of the announcement. On Monday, Nov. 9, the Lansing Economic Area Partnership (LEAP) said the deal is no more. Lighthouse Sustainability, the pre-development firm that intended to work with the community to address concerns about the $10 billion data center, withdrew its interest in the site. LEAP will now look to other "non-data center opportunities" for the site, said Bob Trezise, president and CEO of LEAP. “While we are disappointed that a public dialogue was not truly allowed to begin, we thank the Delhi Township community and Lighthouse Sustainability for their participation and feedback, though brief,” Trezise said in a statement. The project in Delhi Township was announced Oct. 27, six months into a one-year

MSU stuns Duke despite Wisconsin great John Blackwell's 17 points

Former Wisconsin Badgers guard John Blackwell led Duke in scoring during the Blue Devils' shocking 79-73 loss to Michigan State. Blackwell seemed to have the Spartans number during his time in Madison, but that wasn't the case in the State Farm Champions Classic on Tuesday, Nov. 10. His 32 minutes were the most of any Duke player, and he shot 6-for-16 from the field which included his 3-for-11 mark from three-point range. Blackwell dropped a team-high 17 points, a number that was only one point shy of leading all scorers. This marked his third game with the Blue Devils. After an incredibly rough debut against Army, he scored 15 points in a 61-point win over Coastal Carolina. Duke now sits at 2-1 and will host SIU Edwardsville on Friday, Nov. 13, before taking on No. 3 Illinois on Tuesday, Nov. 17.
