 Two Detroit-area police sergeants charged with armed robbery 

DETROIT (AP) — Two Detroit-area police sergeants are facing felony charges after prosecutors say they robbed a man believed to have stolen a cellphone belonging to the daughter of one of the officers.

The Wayne County prosecutor’s office announced charges Monday against Detroit Sgt. David Pomeroy and St. Clair Shores Sgt. Michael Notoriano.
 
Prosecutors say Notoriano’s daughter was robbed of her iPhone at a Detroit gas station on July 20.

They say Pomeroy and Michael Notoriano traced the phone and confronted three Detroit men at gunpoint the next day.

Both men face armed robbery and a number of other charges.

Notoriano’s lawyer, Todd Flood, says his client and Pomeroy are “outstanding” and “highly decorated” officers. A message seeking comment was left with Pomeroy’s attorney.

Federal Bar Assoc. to hold New Lawyers Seminar Dec. 3-4

 
The Eastern District of Michigan Chapter of the FBA will once again sponsor the New Lawyers Seminar, a two day “nuts and bolts/how to do it” seminar for newer lawyers.  The Seminar will be held December 3-4 in Room 115 of the Theodore Levin U.S. Courthouse, 231 W. Lafayette Blvd., Detroit. The Seminar, now in its 38th year, is designed to assist recent graduates in understanding certain areas of practice and procedure in the Court and in the State courts in Wayne, Oakland and Macomb counties. The first day of the Seminar is “Federal Day,” with intensive focus on the practicalities of federal practice, followed by a swearing-in ceremony (with separate registration). The second day is “State Day,” guiding the uninitiated through the intricacies of the tri county court systems, with a luncheon traditionally addressed by the Chief Judge of the Wayne County Circuit Court. Space is limited to the first 115 attorneys who register. The attorney also has the option of attending a Mass Swearing-In Ceremony,  which will start about 15 minutes after the end of the first day of the Seminar, at the Courthouse on Dec. 3 at about 4 p.m.  Registration for the Swearing-In is separate and involves an additional fee paid to the District Court. Visit the Court’s website at www.mied.uscourts.gov. Sign-In Begins at 8:00 a.m. Cost to attend only is $95 and to join and attend is $180.
