Detroit-area man charged in Oakland County human trafficking investigation
A Michigan man has been charged in connection with the human trafficking of a Saginaw woman.
Marcell Davon Joseph, 24, of Clinton Township, is charged with human trafficking enterprise resulting in injury, prostitution/transporting, prostitution/accepting earnings and domestic violence. If convicted, Joseph faces up to 20 years in prison.
According to the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office, Joseph was accused of trafficking a 28-year-old woman, physically assaulting her multiple times and forcing her to engage in sex acts with other men while refusing to give her any of the money.
Joseph was arrested on March 21 in Madison Heights. He was arraigned the next day and received a $150,000 cash/surety bond.
The sheriff’s office says he was previously convicted of larceny, resisting a police officer and unarmed robbery.
“I am proud of these cooperative efforts with our law enforcement partners that are finding and rescuing people from a torturous situation,” Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard said in a statement. “We look forward to holding anyone that traffics another human being fully accountable for their actions.”
A probable cause conference is scheduled for April 2.
Anyone who is a victim of human trafficking or knows someone who is can contact the Common Ground Human Trafficking Crisis Hotline at 248-451-2622, the Oakland County Human Trafficking Task Force at 248-240-3166 or the sheriff’s office dispatch at 248-858-4950.
DETROIT (FOX 2) – A special reunion on Friday gave a young woman who suffered a medical emergency the chance to thank the person who saved her life.
The backstory:
Emily Morgan was in a fitness class when suddenly Emily collapsed.
Luckily, Dr. Dema Fawaz, an emergency room physician at Corewell Health, was in the right place at the right time.
“I turned around and saw Emily being slowly lowered to the ground,” said Dr. Fawaz. “I sensed a lot of panic in the room and I immediately identified myself and said, ‘Don’t worry, I’m a physician, I can help.’”
Fawaz said she performed CPR until the ambulance arrived, helping save Emily’s life. It was her first time doing CPR outside of work.
Big picture view:
At only 27 years old, Emily survived cardiac arrest, and all she remembers is waking up in the hospital.
“They told me someone in my class had saved me, and I didn’t know who it was. But I immediately recognized her when she came in at the hospital. We’d taken classes together before, and I just didn’t know her name, so it was emotional in the hospital when she came and visited me,” she said.
Meanwhile, the heartfelt reunion was just another reminder of why learning CPR could save a life. Every second counts, and even though Fawaz is a doctor, CPR is not hard to learn, and the more people who know it, the better.
It might just save a life.

The Tigers certainly did not light up the scoreboard in the three meetings with the Giants, but they did enough to grab a sweep, finishing their homestand with a 4-3 record, continuing to prove why the Bengals are one of the best home teams in Major League Baseball.
