ling everyone's taste buds
with her down home cook-
ing. Subsequent to her hus-
band's death 31 years ago,
Mrs. Miller moved to the Twin
Cities in 1987 to take on her
new role of nanny to her

Police track stolen credit card
Man slashes officer during arrest
A Wayne woman's credit card
was used tomakemore than $4,000
in purchases after it was stolen
fromher purse.
The woman reported her wallet
which contained the credit card
stolen Nov. 25. She told police she
had last used her wallet while
shopping at the Westland Meijer
store at about 6 p.m. the evening
before. She hadn't noticed her
missing wallet until the next morn-
ing.
She told police she called the
company to report the stolen Visa
card and was informed that pur-
chases of $3,282 and $800 had been
made the night before at a Target
store. A third purchase of $1,121 at
Meijer was refused by the credit
card company.
Westland police investigated
and discovered that the purchases
at Target were for gift cards and
sweaters. Two of those gift cards
were used at other Target stores
while two more were cancelled by
Target when police notified them
of the situation and ongoing inves-
tigation, according to police
reports.
Police said that the gift cards
were purchased without any iden-
tification, according toTarget.
The purchase declined at
Meijer was for two iPads, police
said.
The suspects have been
described as a blackman in his 30s
with a medium build. He was
wearing a black fur coat and black
derby hat. The woman, also with a
medium build, was in her late 40s
or 50s and was wearing a long,
curly wig, a brown coat and a
brown hat with a wide brim,
according to police reports from
surveillance tapes.
Anyone with information about
the suspects is asked to call the
Westlandpolice at (734) 722-9600.

vened and grabbed the suspect.
While theNovi officer had the sus-
pect in custody in a store office,

and took out a knife. TheNovi offi-
cer was injured on his hand as he
attempted to kick the suspect in
the chest and push him out of the

cer's injurieswere not serious.
