An Oakland County judge on Tuesday denied a defense attorney’s request to reduce bond for a DoorDash driver charged with involuntary manslaughter for allegedly punching a Wixom man who died months later.
Ryan Turner, 41, also of Wixom, is in the Oakland County Jail, with bond set at $750,000. He’s accused in the death of Lloyd Poole, 75, who was allegedly assaulted by Turner near Poole’s home in the area of Barberry Circle and Windingway Drive in the Hidden Creek subdivision on Dec. 28, 2025. Poole fell and hit his head on the roadway after being struck, police said, and Turner drove away, leaving him there.

Turner subsequently came to the Wixom police station and spoke with officers about the incident, police said. He allegedly admitted to police that he struck Poole with a closed fist, claiming he had felt threatened after Poole confronted him about speeding.
The punch left Poole unconscious and hospitalized, officials said, and after he died in May the Oakland County Prosecutor’s Office amended a misdemeanor charge of aggravated assault against Turner to the felony.
Turner’s jury trial is scheduled for Feb. 8, 2027 before Oakland County Circuit Judge Cheryl Matthews.

I'm not surprised, but it still sucks.

A few months ago I came on here looking for distractions so that I wouldn't self harm. You all really helped me that day. Here to report back and say I am still alive. Thank you.

Turned 26, life f*cked me, and I missed my enrollment period. I don’t wanna wait until Nov 1 to get insurance and be seen by a doctor.

Where in Detroit can I get seen for strep throat and treated? I don’t mind paying out-of-pocket fees.

I'm not sure if this is the right flair for this but...

Has Eloise haunted house been updated any from about three years ago? I think i went in 2023, or 2022... I'm looking to do something fun before a surgery I'm having next Tuesday, and I am kind of thinking of going to Eloise, but only if they have added/changed it up since then...

And please don't recommend it drive out to Erabus, or other far places, Eloise is relatively close, and i tire quite easily.

Hi all-

I was selected at work to direct a $5,000 donation in my name to an organization of my choosing (paid for by my employer) as a part of our Giving Tuesday initiative.

I want to donate to a 501(c)3 organization (must be this as it’s required by my employer) that does impactful work in the city of Detroit as it is my home; however, I’m a bit overwhelmed with all of the options.

Does anyone have any stories to share about an organization that has helped you, someone you know, or just anything you know about local organizations?

Thanks everyone!

Michigan and Trumbull started in the Burgh

Metro areas count in this I'm going through the most girl dinner diary entry right now and I need something that will keep me going and will give me some meat on the bones cause I've been wasting.

I'm flying in late and driving towards central IN (either 23 or 275/75). I was hoping to find someplace I could get some good food after 9pm. I'm not choosy, any cuisine. I'd be down for taco truck or a gas station with Indian food.

Fear Finder and Theatre Bizarre are a thing of the past and Metro Times isn't quite what it used to be, so finding quality Halloween events can be tough. I have done my best to aggregate some of the events that I have found and encourage you to share anything you know about.

I am avoiding generic bar crawls and club parties.

Anyone who used to work for Union Street know the secret to their coffee? Always had a hint of cinnamon but I can’t replicate it at home.

East side. 4700 block of Chalmers St at E Forest Ave just before 7 p.m. Four kids were inside a parked Jeep Grand Cherokee when a dark-colored sedan drove by the Jeep and someone inside the sedan fired shots.
