Mayor Mike Duggan is asking the Michigan State Police to investigate threats being made by a city businessman allegedly in retaliation for the city’s refusal to drop property lawsuits against him.
Businessman Robert Carmack hired a private eye to follow Duggan and videotape his activities. Duggan was followed
to a condominium in Novi and separately showed a woman arriving there on other occasions.
Carmack alleges that Duggan was having an affair with the unnamed woman.
The mayor contends the effort is retaliatory by Carmack tied to lawsuits the city has filed against him. The effort “to embarrass me” also comes with a promise from Carmack, Duggan claims, to release more information on Wednesday.
Duggan and his wife Lori Maher have released a statement defending their marriage.
