Convicted stalker sues woman he victimized
SOUTHFIELD, Mich. (AP) — A Detroit man convicted of stalking a woman has sued her and suburban authorities, saying they defamed him.
The Detroit Free Press says Kevin A. Gary is acting as his own lawyer in the suit filed against Harvette Williams, Southfield and Southfield police. He says the allegations against him were false.
Williams’ lawyer Lawrence Walker says the move is “very scary” and says she's secured a personal protection order.
The suit was filed Wayne County Circuit Court, then transferred to neighboring Oakland County, which includes Southfield.
There’s no phone listing for Gary in Detroit.
Gary was sentenced to five years in prison in 2005 for aggravated stalking. Williams says he vandalized her home, followed her to work and church and called her up to 40 times a day.
Local judges dance to reduce bullying Feb. 11
Oakland Mediation Center will present an entertaining evening of ballroom dancing featuring a selection of federal and Oakland County judges and professional dancers at the Auburn Hills Marriott Centerpoint on Friday, Feb. 11.
Proceeds will benefit OMC’s Youth Programs. OMC’s Youth Programs are proven remedies to bullying, violence, and school drop-out. Michigan is experiencing a drop out crisis of tremendous proportions, approximately 21,000 students per year, and cannot afford the social or economic costs of increased crime rates, lower tax revenue, strained social services, and fewer well-educated workers to attract 21st century jobs.
The Valentine’s Ball featuring “Dancing With The Judges” is a semi-formal evening of dinner and dancing. Federal and Oakland County Circuit and District Court judges will perform a ballroom dance chosen by their professional dance instructors. At the end of the performances Celebrity Commentators such as Karen Drew, Local 4 Anchor, and Judy Susskind, Super Lawyer/Competitive Dancer, among others will provide critique of each routine. Master of Ceremonies for the evening will be Oakland County Executive, Brooks Patterson.
The OMC Valentine’s Ball featuring “Dancing With The Judges” promises to be a fun-filled evening of entertaining dance performances complimented with the exceptional food and amenities of the Oakland Ballroom at our sponsoring facility the Auburn Hills Marriott Centerpoint. This will all be followed by open dancing.
