Ypsi: Trial

The Detroit News reports on the ongoing trial against Washtenaw County commissioner Ronnie Peterson. Peterson is accused of condoning the actions of Glenn Johnson, an Ypsilanti rental agent. Johnson allegedly harassed six female tenants at Peterson’s Ypsilanti rental properties, allowing them to stay in their home in exchange for sex. Peterson’s Ann Arbor attorney, Donald Ferris, dismisses the charges, saying, “It would have stopped if [Peterson] had been told, because he would have done something about it.” [Source]
