Ronald Ilitch, the 57-year-old son of Detroit Red Wings/Little Caesars owner Mike Ilitch, was arraigned today on cocaine possession and soliciting a prostitute on 6 Mile McNichols and Grand River Avenues. That's not a terrible area for you outsiders; they're building a new grocery store there!

According to The Detroit News, the younger Ilitch — who also caught a domestic violence charge in 2006 — picked up a woman in his Corvette at 4 p.m. on Wednesday. Ilitch's Vette had tinted windows, which are against the law in Michigan and can get you a nasty tongue-lashing from a state cop.
