BRANT TOWNSHIP, Mich. — There are limits to being a crime victim, as a woman who called Saginaw County sheriff's deputies to report the theft of marijuana found out. Detective Sgt. Randy F. Pfau said the 54-year-old woman was arrested early Sunday after reporting two men had broken into her home in Brant Township, 80 miles north-northwest of Detroit.

Pfau said the woman told deputies the men fled after one of them demanded her marijuana plants. He said the woman then was booked on charges of manufacturing and delivering marijuana.

Pfau told The Saginaw News the woman claimed the drug was for personal use but didn't possess a medical marijuana card. He said police will seek charges pending test results on the marijuana they did confiscate.

DETROIT — A prosecutor says a woman intentionally set fire to her boyfriend's mobile home in suburban Detroit, killing two of her young children while she fled with a third.

Twenty-nine-year-old Sharon Hinojosa was charged Tuesday with arson, second-degree murder and felony murder. The maximum penalty is life in prison.

Asked about a motive, Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy would say only that Hinojosa "knowingly left the children who were not fathered by her boyfriend."

Worthy said Hinojosa set the fire early Friday in Huron Township, about 20 miles southwest of Detroit, killing 3-year-old Alayna Hinojosa 4-year-old Anthony Hinojosa. Hinojosa escaped with a 1-year-old son.

Her attorney declined to comment.

DETROIT — An 88-year-old retired auto engineer told a judge Tuesday that he never shot Jews while serving in a Nazi-controlled police force during World War II, during an initial hearing over whether the government can deport him.

Speaking through his lawyer, John Kalymon, of suburban Detroit, denied the U.S. Justice Department's assertion that he claimed to have fired his gun at least eight times and killed a Jew in August 1942, when Jews were being rounded up and removed from what is now Lviv, Ukraine.

Judge Elizabeth Hacker told the Justice Department to file a brief detailing its case by early 2010. Xenos would have until Feb. 26 to respond to the brief. A trial date has not been set.

Kalymon was stripped of his U.S. citizenship in 2007, and the government is seeking to deport him. It hasn't been determined where he would go.

"My heart is pounding a little bit harder. I'm too old and sick," Kalymon told The Associated Press after the brief hearing.

DETROIT — General Motors Co. said Wednesday it would shut down its Saturn division after an agreement to sell it to Penske Automotive Group Inc. fell apart.

The Bloomfield, Mich. dealership headed by auto racing magnate Roger Penske walked away after it was unable to find a manufacturer to supply vehicles to it after a contract with GM runs out in 2011.

A tentative deal for Saturn was announced on June 5. Penske was to get Saturn's 371 dealers and promised to retain the 13,000 Saturn employees. The proposed price was never disclosed.

GM CEO Fritz Henderson said in statement that Saturn and its dealership network will be phased out.

"This is very disappointing news and comes after months of hard work by hundreds of dedicated employees and Saturn retailers who tried to make the new Saturn a reality," Henderson said in a written statement. Penske's announcement "explained that their decision was not based on interactions with GM or Saturn retailers."
