(CLAY TOWNSHIP) — Thousands of people gathered on and around Gull Island on the St. Clair River last Friday for the annual Jobbie Nooner party, but there were few problems among the revelers. St. Clair County Sheriff Tim Donnellon says a total of three arrests were made during the course of the event. Deputies from the Sheriff’s Office Marine Division made one arrest for operating a boat while impaired and one for disorderly conduct. Clay Township Police Officers made an arrest on Gull Island for felonious assault. Several other law enforcement agencies including the U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Macomb County Sheriff’s Office, Lapeer County Sheriff’s Office, and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police were on patrol. There were two reported medical transports during the event, one for an incapacitated person and the other was the victim of the felonious assault on Gull Island. Inmates from St. Clair and Macomb County worked through the morning Saturday cleaning up paper, cups, bottles, cans, and other debris left behind by those in attendance. This was the 7th year inmates have been transported by Corrections Deputies from their respective jails to the island, where they pick up hundreds of pounds of trash.
