A Pinckney man is heading to trial on charges of stealing $100,000 worth of scrap metal from his workplace.
Last July, Pinckney Police began an investigation of suspected thefts from a business on Hamburg Street in the Village. Detective Ryan Hamlin determined that an employee, 38-year-old Ian Lumley, started stealing metal within a week of his employment in November of 2019. Certain machines at the business had also stopped working due to electric wiring being removed.
Police located the various types of metal, which included copper, brass, stainless steel and aluminum at various scrap dealers in Washtenaw and Wayne counties. Witnesses reported seeing Lumley fill boxes with metal, although no one was sure what he was doing with them.

Barry Cadden is facing trial in Livingston County Circuit Court on second degree murder charges filed last year by the Michigan Attorney Generalâs Office for his role in running the New England Compounding Center. Cadden was the co-owner of the facility, while his co-defendant, Glenn Chin, was the supervising pharmacist.
In court today, Caddenâs attorney argued that there was no evidence that directly linked his client to the tainted steroids produced at the pharmacy, which ultimately led to over 100 deaths nationally, 11 of them in Livingston County. He argued that Cadden was never in the pharmacyâs so-called âclean roomâ, where the drugs were manufactured, and had no way of knowing what went on there. The attorney, Gerald Gleeson, argued that Ju
