1/31/13 - A Hartland Township man has entered a plea to charges he kidnapped his son last year. 53-year-old Mark Joseph Grabowski, a former football player who once played for the Lions, pleaded guilty Monday to a charge of unlawful retention of a child by a parent. A massive search effort began after Grabowski failed to return his 11-year-old son Connor home to his mother prior to last yearâs Labor Day weekend. He was arrested at a hunting ranch in South Dakota about a week later. While with his father, a video of the boy was posted on YouTube in which made allegations of abuse against his mother, but a Child Protective Services worker later testified that Conner was very eager to get home and her investigation found no evidence of any child abuse or neglect. Grabowski will be sentenced February 28th. (JK)
