Was an annarbor.com story written about what happened on Arlington last May 13? I saw a fire engine, ambulance, and police car all in front of a house on the east side of Arlington (I guess it's Arlington Boulevard) between Washtenaw and Overridge. The police were just arriving at the house when I drove by in the opposite direction. No lanes were closed for what ever happened that Sunday afternoon.
