Clarkston man accused of damage at Orion Township liquor store
Oakland County Sheriff’s Office detectives are investigating the case of a Clarkston man accused of throwing an object through a window at a liquor store in Orion Township.
Deputies went to Lee’s Wine and Liquor, 3775 S. Baldwin Road, at 8:14 a.m. on June 28 after the owner reported the damage, a sheriff’s office incident report stated.
Security video shows a man, later identified as a 48-year-old Clarkston resident, exiting a gray vehicle and throwing an unidentified object through the north window of the store.
The man then returned to his vehicle and left the area. The owner of the store was able to identify the suspect after reviewing the video.

Gas station thefts
The store manager of a Shell gas station in Clarkston is asking for help as teenage thieves continue to steal from his store, according to published media reports in late June.
Surveillance video has captured the thefts as the kids take beer and liquor before running out of the store.
Three teens drove up in a blue Jeep Commander in the first incident. Two of them made their way inside the gas station and rushed out with bottles of liquor.
When a potential theft was about to happen again, the kids spotted the surveillance camera and parked out of sight.
