Multiple people were arrested Memorial Day following an investigation by the Clare County Sheriff's Office that began with a dispute between two women at a local gas station and expanded into a drug investigation involving two residences in Hayes Township.
According to the Sheriff’s Office, deputies were dispatched to the K-D Quick Stop at approximately 9:16 a.m. Monday, May 25, after Amber Marie Garrow, 40, of Flint, reported that her friend, Kristen Ann Graber, 44, had left her at the gas station and taken property belonging to her.
When deputies met with Garrow, they discovered she had an outstanding felony warrant out of Genesee County related to dangerous drugs. She was taken into custody without incident.
