73-year-old Metro Detroit man convicted of making bomb threat to court
(CBS DETROIT) – A 73-year-old Metro Detroit man has been convicted on all charges after making a bomb threat to a local court in 2022.
Lynn Morton, of Warren, was charged and found guilty of false report or threat of bomb/harmful device and assaulting, resisting, or obstructing a police officer.
On Sept. 15, 2022, Morton made a bomb to the 37th Warren District Court through a phone call, the Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office said.
Morton was arrested on Oct. 18, 2022, for his warrant in connection to the threat. While at the Warren Police Department Morton refused to comply with officers’ commands.
“Threats to our judicial system and resistance to law enforcement are serious offenses that will not be tolerated,” said Macomb County Prosecutor Peter J. Lucido. “This guilty verdict sends a clear message that such behavior will be met with legal consequences, and our justice system will hold individuals accountable for their actions.”
His sentencing is scheduled for Thursday, Feb. 29.

DETROIT (AP) — Cristopher Sánchez struck out seven in seven innings, Bryce Harper and J.T. Realmuto doubled and the Philadelphia Phillies ended the Detroit Tigers’ six-game winning streak with a 4-2 victory Saturday night.
The Phillies are 45-25 since snapping a 10-game losing streak April 25 and have the second-highest winning percentage in that span.
Sánchez (11-4) allowed two runs on 10 hits, bouncing back from a career-worst outing against Kansas City. Jonathan Bowlan threw a hitless eighth, and Jhoan Duran had a 1-2-3 ninth for his 24th save.
Trea Turner’s sacrifice fly got the Phillies on the board in the third inning. Derek Hill prevented Zach McKinstry from driving in the tying run with a spectacular diving catch.
Realmuto had a two-run double in the fourth to extend the lead.
The Tigers got one back on Eduardo Valencia’s solo homer in the fifth.
Casey Mize (4-6) worked 5 2/3 innings for Detroit.
