Macomb Township Supervisor Ordered to Serve Probation

Macomb Township's top-elected official was ordered to serve six months of non-reporting probation and pay a $250 fine for a misdemeanor election fraud charge, court officials said Monday.

Janet Dunn entered a no contest plea earlier this summer. A 41A District Court judge in Sterling Heights entered a finding of guilt, deferring the case under a delayed sentence. That means, the case will be reviewed in six months from the time of her plea, as she continues to serve probation, according to the court. 

The township supervisor was accused of signing off on petitions for signatures she did not collect. The misdemeanor charge carried a maximum sentence of 93 days in jail and a $500 fine. 

Dunn was not reachable for comment Monday. She is scheduled to conduct business as normal for the township, with a Board of Trustees meeting planned for 7 p.m. Wednesday.
