DETROIT, MI — Residents across Southeast Michigan are facing a dual front of challenges this Friday. While a 4Warn Weather Alert remains in effect due to a dangerous “flash freeze” and impending snow showers, the community is also processing a series of significant local developments. From federal charges against a Macomb County educator to the shocking legal fallout surrounding former Michigan football coach Sherrone Moore, the news landscape is as volatile as the December skies.
4Warn Weather Alert: Tracking Snow and Dangerous Icy Spots
The primary concern for many Metro Detroiters this morning is the rapidly changing weather. Following a period of relatively mild temperatures and rain on Thursday, a powerful cold front has swept through the region, causing temperatures to plummet more than 20 degrees in a matter of hours.
The Threat of a Friday Flash Freeze
Meteorologists have warned that any moisture remaining on the roads from Thursday’s rainfall is likely to undergo a flash freeze. This phenomenon occurs when surface temperatures drop so quickly that standing water turns to “black ice” before it can evaporate.
- Impact on Travel: Commuters are urged to exercise extreme caution on overpasses, bridges, and side streets, which are most susceptible to icing.
- Visibility Issues: Gusty winds are expected to reach up to 35 mph, which may blow fresh snow showers across roadways, significantly reducing visibility during the morning rush.
School Closings and Delays
As of Friday morning, Dec. 19, 2025, several school districts across Metro Detroit have already announced closures or delayed starts to ensure student safety. With winter break just days away, many districts are opting for caution to avoid bus accidents on slick residential streets.

Federal Case: Macomb County Teacher Accused of Secretly Filming Children
In a story that has sent shockwaves through the local educational community, federal authorities have announced charges against a Macomb County teacher. The educator is accused of using a sophisticated disguise to invade the privacy of minors.
The Hidden Device
According to federal investigators, the teacher allegedly hid a camera inside what appeared to be a standard magnetic phone charger. This device was reportedly placed in a bathroom to secretly record children without their knowledge or consent.
Investigation and Response
The FBI and local law enforcement have seized several electronic devices as part of the ongoing probe. While the specific school has not been named in the initial federal filing to protect the identities of the victims, school board officials in the district have issued a statement promising “zero tolerance” for any conduct that endangers the safety and privacy of students.
The Downfall of Sherrone Moore: Domestic Allegations and Legal Charges
The sports world and the local community alike are still reeling from the sudden termination and subsequent arrest of former University of Michigan head football coach Sherrone Moore.
Allegations of Home Invasion
New court documents released this week provide a harrowing account of the events leading to Moore’s arrest. Prosecutors allege that on Wednesday, shortly after being fired for cause by the University of Michigan, Moore “barged” into the home of a woman with whom he had an alleged relationship.
According to the victim’s testimony:
- Moore entered the residence before she could lock the door.
- He allegedly approached her while brandishing knives and scissors taken from her kitchen.
- He reportedly threatened self-harm, telling the woman, “My blood is on your hands.”
Current Legal Status
Moore has been charged with felony home invasion, stalking, and breaking and entering. During his Friday morning arraignment, he was released on a $25,000 bond under strict conditions, including:
- Wearing a GPS tether.
- Surrendering all weapons.
- Zero contact with the victim.
- Mandatory mental health evaluation.
The University of Michigan has moved quickly to distance itself from the former coach, appointing an interim leadership team for the football program as the investigation continues.
Border Security: Canadian Man Arrested with Stolen Semi-Truck
In the Upper Peninsula, Michigan State Police have apprehended an Ontario man following a high-stakes traffic stop near the Sault Ste. Marie International Bridge.
A Sophisticated Theft
The suspect, identified as 24-year-old Yuvraj Singh of Brampton, Ontario, was stopped on Dec. 12 for commercial vehicle violations. However, the investigation quickly escalated when officers discovered:
- The semi-truck and trailer had been reported stolen out of Ontario.
- The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) had been professionally altered in an attempt to mask the vehicle’s identity.
Charges Filed
Singh was arraigned earlier this week on multiple counts, including receiving and concealing a stolen motor vehicle and motor vehicle fraud. He was released on a personal recognizance bond but was forced to surrender his passport and must remain in the state of Michigan under GPS monitoring until his next court date.
