Clarkston Man Charged for Leaving Explicit Note on Teen's Car

Thomas Mellick Hensler, a 38-year-old man from Clarkston, Michigan, has been charged after allegedly leaving a sexually explicit note on a 17-year-old girl's car at a Target parking lot. The note, which offered payment for sexual favors, included a phone number that led police to Hensler, who was found parked nearby. During his arrest, authorities discovered methamphetamine and sex toys in his vehicle. Prosecutor Karen McDonald noted that multiple parents have reported similar notes found on their children's cars with the same number, indicating possible serial behavior. Hensler faces several charges, including child sexually abusive activity, using a computer to commit a crime, and possession of methamphetamine, with the potential for significant prison time if convicted. He is currently held on a $25,000 bond and is scheduled to return to court on March 27, 2025.
