5/8/13 - A doctor’s office in Howell and a Brighton business were both raided by federal and local authorities yesterday. A search warrant was executed by Drug Enforcement Administration agents at Livingston County Orthopedics on Byron Road in Howell yesterday morning. It’s the office of Dr. Michael E.

The search warrant was executed with assistance from the Livingston County Sheriff’s Department. Meanwhile, DEA agents also executed a search warrant for narcotics at the Grow Green Michigan warehouse on Canterbury Drive in Brighton yesterday and could be seen carrying file-type boxes. That raid was the result of a joint investigation by the Detroit DEA Field Office and Michigan State Police. Further details about the raids have yet to be released, and calls for comments have been placed by WHMI with the DEA. (JM)
