Editors note: Alarming large number of daily arrests makes one wonder about how safe are the roads: – seems like 20 percent (or more) of the driver’s on the road are not legal. Plus many drivers that are stopped are “wanted” on out-of-state warrants – and the agencies that filed the charges do not want to travel to get their suspect – so driver is released. U.P. Breaking News – as a rule – doesn’t print the names of those arrested for drunken or drugged driving or the countess booked for driving with a revoked/suspended license. In addition, arrested because many cannot afford today’s high insurance premiums. We don’t generally report those things – unless there is an incident or something happens like resisting arrest.
(Escanaba/Marquette, MI) – Men with lengthy records are jailed tonight for domestic violence – plus an unusual conspiracy case – and the shocking increase in the bail for a civil rights activist charged with B&E in Marquette County.
In fact – the highest bonds are for those NOT charged with a violent crime.
A man convicted of numerous assaults was sent to jail today – again:
Robert Bartczak
32-year-old Robert Todd Bartczak of Escanaba, MI is doing time tonight in the Delta County Detention Center (DCDC).
Bartczak was booked shortly before noon today, Thurs., Jan. 25, 2018. Bartczak also has listed addresses in Gladstone and Gwinn.
Bartczak was booked at 11:40 a.m. today, Thurs., Jan 25, 2018 on a charge of felony domestic violence.
He is either charged again – or finally serving his jail time for the other recent assaults he committed. This is not his first bite at the apple.
In Jan. 2017, Bartczak, then 31, of Escanaba, MI was sentenced to 15 days in jail after he pleaded guilty to assault and battery. Bartczak also was put on 12 months probation and ordered to pay fines/fees of over $1,500.
In Oct. 2017, Bartczak of 6006 Horseshoe 22.3 Drive in Gladstone, MI was sentenced to 100 days in jail after pleaded guilty to one count of second offense domestic violence.
Bartczak was placed on 18 months probation and order to pay over $1,200 in fines/costs.
Now Mr. Bartczak is in jail.
