The Benzie County Sheriff s Office confirmed on Wednesday that Shane Lee Senna Richey died on Dec. 14 at Munson Medical Center after being taken to the hospital and placed in intensive care after he was found hanging in his cell on Dec. 8.
Two more people have been arrested by the Genesee County Sheriffâs Office task force that conducts undercover operations to catch human traffickers and people who plan to engage in sexual relations with children.
This unit, GHOST, also known as Genesse Human Oppression Strike Team, has now arrested 83 people this year.
âOur GHOST team has not stopped. Itâs called proactive policing,â said Genesee County Sheriff Chris Swanson during the Wednesday, Dec. 16 weekly briefing thatâs broadcasted on Facebook. âHuman trafficking, you know all too well in Genesee County, is a real threat to society, especially to the most vulnerable.â
