fyi
We wre going to report the arrest of two Marquette County men – but decided not to lump them with the violence above – even though they are facing charges that are serious enough.
They are charged with failure to return rental property valued between $200 and $1,000; and the other was felony third offense of drunken driving charge – operating a motor vehicle while impaired (OWI). The second charge being particularly troubling. We also understand Forsyth Township Police are looking for a CSC suspect – more on that later.
