"GRAND RAPIDS, MI - A woman and two men from Southwest Michigan are facing up to five years in federal prison after pleading guilty in what investigators say may have been the largest release of asbestos in Michigan since the material was declared a hazardous air pollutant in 1971.
Cory Hammond, of Hastings, and LuAnne LaBrie and Robert "Mike" White, both of Kalamazoo, each pleaded guilty Wednesday to violating the Clean Air Act, according to a news release issued by the U.S. Attorney's Office in Grand Rapids.
LaBrie, formerly known as LuAnne McClain, plead guilty to failing to notify federal or state authorities that asbestos material would be stripped and removed at the former Consumers Energy power generation facility in Comstock Township."
