Busted today: Menominee Police return to same residence on domestic violence call, make arrest this time, and are a couple we featured in our story on people with outstanding warrants around the country hiding in the U.P.

URGENT U.P. Breaking News Bulletin – 4-14-18 – 9:55 p.m. ET

Menominee Domestic Violence call leads to Saturday arrest of man we featured in a story Friday about people with outstanding warrants from around the U.S. – who are safe from extradition in the U.P.

Joseph Roy Feltus

(Menominee, MI) – We have an update tonight on one of the men we mentioned in our “armed and dangerous” and “hiding in the U.P.” story about people wanted in other states that are glad the wanted person is in Michigan

One of our examples is jailed tonight in Menominee County, MI.

There was another domestic violence report and arrest this morning Sat., April 14, 2018 at that same home in Menominee, MI as yesterday.

Today Menominee Police answered yet another domestic dispute call at 1517 46th Avenue – and one half of the dispute went to jail this time.

Joseph Roy Feltus

In our article on people living in the U.P. with warrants from other states – we told you about the occupants of the home 53-year-old Joseph Roy Feltus and his 40-year-old wife, Laura Susan Feltus.
It is unclear what Feltus allegedly did to his wife today, however a dispatcher told responding officers that she allegedly bit him.

Feltus was one of several examples we gave in a story yesterday (Friday) about people living in the U.P. who have serious warrants in other states – but many states do not extradite from the U.P.

In fact, many warrants issued by U.P. counties only have a pickup radius of surrounding counties – its about law enforcement under-staffing, few officers actually on the road daily, and costs of driving – for example of sending Houghton officer to Mackinac County (and roundtrip back to home jail with prisoner) etc.

The Friday NCIC check revealed Feltus has a computer warning from Colorado authorities with an “officer safety caution” and declaring the Feltus is considered “armed and dangerous” out west.

Joe Feltus was arrested today, Saturday, April 14, 2018 on a domestic violence related allegation and booked into the Menominee County Jail. His wife was not arrested.

Joseph Roy Feltus has a lengthy criminal history – and while wanted – is safe if he stays in U.P.

Menominee officers investigating the case Friday reported that the couple were separated, argument was over, and no charges will be filed.

Feltus has a warrant out west for felon in possession of a weapon (Felon Carrying Concealed Weapon – CCW) in Oregon.

Oregon cops put a warning on the warrant alleging that Feltus is “armed and dangerous” – yet they really don’t want him – its a non-extraditable warrant. Simply put, other states are thrilled that the wanted person is in the U.P. – making that person Michigan’s problem if additional crimes are committed.

He has been convicted of crimes – including battery – in the states of Oregon, Florida and Georgia: Battery touch or strike (battery), criminal mischief, out-of-county warrant, misdemeanor probation, Failure to appear warrant, fugitive other jurisdiction warrant

Feltus has long history of arrests in Mesa County, CO; Clifton, CO and Cedar Edge, CO; Brevard County, FL; Melbourne, FL; and St. Johns County, FL.
He has past addresses in those states and in Phoenix, Arizona.
Feltus aliases: Joe Roy Feltus, Joe Feltus.

(Wilson, MI) – A 20-year-old Hannahville woman was arrested early today in Delta County on charges she burglarized a burned building.

In addition, she is charged with assaulting a law enforcement officer police – and has a history of being busted on that charge involving the alleged assault of a deputy with the Delta County Sheriff’s Department.

20-year-old Ellianna Rae Larson of Wilson, MI was booked into the Delta County Detention Center about 3:30 a.m. this morning, Wed., Feb. 7, 2018.
Bond has not been set.

Larson is charged with breaking and entering into a burned building, assaulting police and resisting and obstructing police officers.

Police have not released information on the arrest, and you rarely see that kind of charge – burglarizing a burned building – in the U.P.

There have been numerous fires in the Menominee County/Delta County area in the past two months including at least three homes and one business.

On Facebook, Larson identifies herself as “Ellie “baby girl” Rae.

In March 2017, Wilson, then 19, was charged with assaulting/resisting/obstructing a police officer. She pleaded guilty eight months later.

The incident involved an attack on a Delta County sheriff’s deputy.

In December 2017, Larson was given credit for the 79 days she spent in the DCDC jail. She was fined about $750.
