At least four U.P. residents have charged in violent attacks including a Michigan convicted child-related sex offender accused of causing bruises around victim’s neck – and four Houghton County youths up to alleged no good in Marquette area, and Delta County forces us now to print all names, all photos – and they want you to guess the charges

URGENT URGENT – U.P. Breaking News Bulletin – 3-19-18 – 10:40 p.m. ET – 

NEW SECRECY ERA Thanks to Delta County: Some arrests in very brutal cases – plus the powers in Delta County stopped releasing charges – so we will be showing everyone arrested and they want you to guess the charges – and so we do not know who is accused of beating women

Secrecy: We will be FORCED TO print just the names, ages, photo of EVERYONE arrested Delta county. By not releasing charges, we are unable to make editorial decisions – for example as rule we do not publish the many drunk driving and misdemeanors that do not include violence
Now we can’t make that decision- so everyone (SEE ABOVE AND BELOW).

Delta County decides to keep their charges secret – rather than releasing the public info to Vinelink and mobile patrol

Accused of attacking a woman, stealing: Two convicts – one a federal fugitive and another with a recent meth-related conviction in Alger County – busted on domestic violence and shoplifting charges in Marquette County, MI

Domestic violence, shoplifting incident leads to arrest of federal fugitive and a Negaunee man convicted of being involved with crystal meth in Alger County

(Marquette, MI) – A federal fugitive and a man with a methamphetamine past were arrested on Sunday in Marquette County and charged with domestic violence and shoplifting.

Tyler Tull27-year-old Tyler Michael Tull of Negaunee, MI remains jailed tonight after being booked into the MCJ about 6:30 p.m. on Sun., Dec. 3, 2017.
Tull is charged with one count each of first degree retail fraud and domestic assault. Bond is not set.
Tull is an active parolee/probationer with the state of Michigan in connection with a meth investigation in Alger County.
Tull was sentenced to up to two years in prison – but it appears he actually got probation for possession of a controlled substance analogues.
Tull was sentenced in Alger County in January 2016 and received a “discharged status” on January 10, 2017.

kurt-ochoa-fb-11.jpgFederal fugitive 48-year-old Kurt Ochoa of L’Anse, MI was booked into the MCJ about 2 p.m. on Sun., Dec. 3, 2017.

Ochoa is charged with second degree retail fraud ($1,000 bond) and third degree retail fraud ($1,000 bond).

Ochoa is also charged with one count of domestic assault with no bond.

Ochoa was facing criminal charges in the Western District of Missouri and his case was transferred in July 2016 to federal court in Marquette.

In fact, it appears he was wanted by federal officials (scroll down to read or download federal documents).

Ochoa admitted to possessing and using marijuana in July and August of 2016.

On Sept. 8, 2016, Judge Robert Holmes Bell in Marquette, MI sentenced Ochoa to 18 months in federal prison for violating the terms of his supervised release in connection with the case in Missouri.

Ochoa should have been in federal prison when he was busted.

In July 2011, Ochoa was arrested in Green County, Missouri and faced federal charges of receiving stolen firearms and unlawful transport of firearms by a felon. He was sentenced on June 2011 by U.S. District Court Judge Dean Whipple in Missouri to just over 5 years (63 months) in federal prison.

After his release, the case was transferred to the jurisdiction of federal court in Marquette to allow Ochoa to live in L’Anse. But that did not work out. Ochoa still faces a two-year federal prison term for violating probation.

Here is the federal paperwork involving Ochoa (scroll down to see what state of Michigan has on Tull):

Kurt Ochoa Case transfer from Missouri to UP (1)
Kurt Ochoa Case transfer from Missouri to UP (2)
Kurt Ochoa Sentencing in Missouri
Kurt Ochoa Indictment with others in Missouri
KURT OCHOA, violates probation

Its not clear if the cases are connected.

However the cases are similar to a radio call answered late last week about a domestic dispute and shoplifting at the lawn and garden section of Walmart in Marquette Township. A suspect vehicle fled and was pulled over by police officers on U.S.-41 near Best Buy.
