(Escanaba, MI) – Jailed this morning are a non-compliant Michigan Sex Offender Against Children with a lengthy criminal record and another young man arrested in Harvey, MI late last night by Michigan State Police with  on-the-spot Marquette Police assisting.

With help from the car tracking system OnStar, marked and unmarked units swarmed the vehicle as it slowed by entering Harvey on U.S.-41 south – after being tracked since at least Limestone Township in Alger County.

Police carefully set the trap with OnStar to ensure no body was injured and had over an hour to coordinate the stop – although the actual arrival time had to be played by ear – and as numerous other medical and police calls were already keeping police very busy  including in Chocolay Township. In recent months alleged dangerous fugitives have been nabbed through mutual aid by police agencies  – and caught by Marquette Police and MSP in Chocolay Township including this summer’s hotel robbery.

OnStar made the car slow and flash it lights. Troopers and police officers sprang the trap and stopped  the alleged stolen car at 11 p.m. (last night, Thurs., Dec. 23, 2016) as it coasted into a strip mall parking lot on M-28 at U.S.-41 South.

The incident began three hours earlier Thursday night when the owner of the car noticed while walking to her spot after dark – there was recent snow instead of her vehicle that had been parked at the Bonifas Fine Arts Center in Escanaba. Her Silver Sonic was gone – and snow had filled the space indicating it had been gone for some time – maybe hours. The cart had a valid Michigan prestige license plate: FOZART

That car was towed to a Marquette wrecker service to be held for the owner or if police need evidence.

A few weeks ago, U.P. Breaking News revealed that dozens of U.P. sex offenders are roaming free even though declared non-compliant. Since then – several have been picked up.

Lodged in the Marquette County Jail on suspicion of auto theft (UDAA – Unlawfully Driving Away and Automobile) are:

Kyle McDaniel, 20, of the Gladstone/Escanaba, MI area

McDaniel has a long criminal history

Thomas Andrew Harris, 19, Delta County address unknown


In Aug. 2015, McDaniel, age 19, of  Escanaba, served 77 days in jail and fine over $900 after he pleaded guilty to attempted property theft for receiving/concealing motor vehicle.

In another case at the time, McDaniel pleaded guilty to accosting a teenage girl for immoral purposes during an April 2015 incident in Escanaba that involved a 13 to 15 female victim. Bond was $100,000. McDaniel has been ordered to have no contact with any minor child. He was sentenced on April, 22, 2015 to five years in state prison and had to register as a sex offender. Its not clear why McDaniel was free. There is a police officer safety caution and a sex offender’s alert in his file.

In Nov. 2013, while a 17-year-old in Wells Township, McDaniel was sentenced to nine months in jail for seriously assaulting a relative in the spring of 2012. He pleaded guilty to assault with a dangerous weapon/felonious assault. McDaniel reportedly told a judge he understood the terribleness of his actions.

The male relative was attacked with a mop handle at their home and was hospitalized for numerous serious and life threatening injuries including broken ribs and a collapsed lung.

Other charges were dropped involving arson and assaulting or resisting a police officer. MSP has to force their way into the the barricaded home, putting out a small fire McDaniel allegedly set, arrested him and rescued the victim. A judge has reportedly said McDaniel suffers from mental illness.

Two dangerous juvenile suspects are being sought after two vehicle thefts and the last belongs to a high-ranking law enforcement officer.

(Marquette, Michigan) – Two teen boy runaways from Great Lakes Recovery are now said to be armed and dangerous as an Upper Peninsula broadcast has been issued to all law enforcement agencies.

The Negaunee teens allegedly stole a car Sunday night after escaping earlier in the day from Great Lakes Recovery and then reportedly trying to me up with a female juvenile. If you have any information on these two young white males in their early teens please call your nearest law enforcement agency.

Lock all vehicles and remain vigilant. If you spot any suspicious looking people – please call the police because the youths could now be anywhere in the U.P. including still in Marquette County or delta County.

The manhunt involves numerous police agencies including the Marquette Police Department, A K-9 Unit, Michigan State Police, the Marquette County Sheriff’s Department, and Negaunee Police Department.

The wanted teens may even have fled to the Deltas County area but were last spotted early today (Halloween 2016), Oct. 31, 2016 in the Marquette area.

For several hours early today police set up a perimeter around several exclusive Marquette neighborhoods on all sides of Shiras Hills off U.S.-41 south. This after a stolen car allegedly taken by the boys was recovered in the area. The stolen car is owned by Adam Karki of Negaunee. There were no injuries reported in the auto theft and police have found evidence allegedly linking the youths to the crime.

 

Police believe the suspects may now be armed with a handgun and shotgun ammo. One of the boys may be wearing a jacket that is said to be a referees jacket.

Halloween car thieves spark manhunt in Marquette Mountain and Mount Marquette and Shiras neighborhoods

(Marquette, MI)  – A Halloween manhunt is underway this windy, cold and damp Monday morning in several exclusive Marquette, Michigan neighborhoods after a stolen vehicle was recovered by police and suspects were apparently spotted by witnesses.

A perimeter was been set up early today, Monday, Oct. 31, 2016 – around the Shiras Subdivision and as far west the Marquette Mountain area –  Granite Pointe Drive and Division St. Several subdivisions are being searched. Police were hoping to see up eyes in all areas where the suspects could escape the manhunt – and the weather is no help.

In fact, even the time of year wasn’t a big help as police reportedly had to check several Halloween displays including a very large artificial pumpkin.

The manhunt involves numerous police agencies including the Marquette Police Department, A K-9 Unit, Michigan State Police, the Marquette County Sheriff’s Department, and Negaunee Police Department.

The Negaunee Police Department is involved in the manhunt because the agency was already investigating the case of two teen runaway boys.

It had not been confirmed that the teen boys from Negaunee were involved in the auto theft case, but reportedly witnesses described two youths running from the area that may fit the descriptions of the youths.

One of boys was in shorts and the other an orange Hoodie.
