Hartland man, 27, rescued from pond by parents

HARTLAND TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) -- Police say a 27-year-old Hartland Township who fell into a pond in Livingston County has been saved by his parents.

Officials at the Brighton post of the Michigan State Police say about 11:39 a.m. Sunday the man fell into a pond behind his parent's home in Hartland Township, about 40 miles west-northwest of Detroit.

Police say the man's parents called 911, then ran to their son and prevented him from slipping beneath the ice.

Responding officers used a flotation device with a lifeline and a wooden dock to rescue all three people.

All three were treated for hypothermia and released.

2 MSU receivers get probation for fight on campus

EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) -- Michigan State receivers B.J. Cunningham and Mark Dell have been sentenced to 18 months of probation and 150 hours of community service for their roles in a Nov. 22 campus fight.

The sentences Monday come after the players had pleaded guilty to misdemeanor assault and battery in January.

Cunningham and Dell were sentenced under a provision for young offenders that will allow them to avoid a permanent criminal record if they fulfill probation conditions.

Eleven current or former Michigan State football players have pleaded guilty to charges stemming from a fight with members of a campus fraternity. The nine other players await sentencing.
