(Marquette, MI) – A Little Lake man severely burned along with his with his wife in a alleged meth explosion at a camp was arrested this morning on numerous charges of “dangerous drugs.”

36-year-old James David Mallon arrested just before 10 a.m. this morning, Mon., April 30, 2018 on a five-count felony warrant issued by the Michigan State Police Negaunee Post.

The charges against Mallon include operating and maintaining a meth lab, possession of methamphetamine, second-degree home invasion and vehicle theft/unlawfully driving away an automobile.

40-year-old Danica Lynn Mallon of Little Lake, MI

Mallon was released from the hospital, and whether his wife is still hospitalized is not known. Mallon and his wife Danica were seriously burned on Thursday, January 18, 2018.

The two methamphetamine suspects were critically burned in mid-January 2018 while allegedly cooking the drug at a camp in Wells Township – and then drove themselves to a Gwinn apartment to seek help.

A $250,000 bond for Mallon is set for all five counts.

The camp that burned is located at 58820 County Road 426 in Wells Township, MI.
The meth suspects then showed up on the doorstep of a man’s apartment at 25 N. Pearce Street in Gwinn. The stove at the camp apparently exploded while the injured couple were allegedly cooking meth.

James Mallon and his wife 40-year old Danica Lynn Mallon were also arrested in early December (month before the explosion) following an UPSET meth raid at their home in Little Lake, MI.

They were treated at U.P. Health System-Marquette and due to the massive burns were flown to the University of Michigan hospital in Ann Arbor for treatment.

Mallon and his friends and family have attacked U.P. Breaking News as we were the only media with guts to report meth was involved in the explosion. Mallon blamed explosion a stove defect.

Drug/Needle Disposal Sites in Marquette County

(Gwinn, MI) – Most Marquette County residents are aware of the relentless drug problems facing the community including at the former K.I. Sawyer near Gwinn, MI

But its still rare to hear about people poked by random needles and becoming infected at the former air force base – that the military left in its dust over 20 years ago.

A K.I. Sawyer woman was rushed to the hospital in Marquette this morning after possibly becoming infected by a needle while taking clothes out of a dryer.

An ambulance was called for the victim at 12:01 a.m. ET this morning, April 2, 2018.

The ambulance was sent to a residence on the 300 block of Commando Street at K.I. Sawyer for the woman who feared she had contracted an infection after she was “poked with a needle” apparently earlier – although the time frame hasnot been released.

Dispatched to the call at 312 Commando St. were Skandia/West Branch EMS and U.P. Health System-Marquette paramedics

“Apparently she was taking clothes out of a dryer and was poked by the needle,” a Marquette County 911 dispatcher radioed paramedics en-route to the incident.

“It’s unknown who it (the needle/syringe) belongs to or if it was used,” the dispatcher told responding paramedics. “She is having pain in her left arm that she was poked in and also states her veins look funny.”

Officials have not released information on the incident including the location of the dryer identified by the victim.

One Baraga County resident remains jailed in the eastern Upper Peninsula, whereabouts of other suspect unclear – as police investigate the couple for allegedly distributing meth – the female half already served time for being part of bath salts ring

By Greg Peterson

(Baraga County, MI) – At least one member of a Baraga County couple jailed in the eastern U.P. for suspected meth distribution served time for dealing a powerfully addictive drug with an extreme amphetamine-like buzz called bath salts – one of several drug epidemics that have swept the U.P. since the 90s.

Kristin Ellen Bergeron

34-year-old Kristin Ellen Bergeron of Pelkie, MI was one of two people arrested on Wed., March 14, 2018 in Mackinac County by troopers from the Michigan State Police St. Ignace Post.

Bergeron and her “civil union” partner – also 34 years old – are expected to face meth distribution-related  charges in Baraga County. Detectives also confiscated a weapon.

Federal prosecutors got a guilty plea from Bergeron in 2014  for being involved in a bath salts ring. She was sentenced to 18 months in federal prison – no parole. (scroll down to read press release).

Federal agents worked hard with U.P. drug teams to wipe out the bath salts epidemic that swept the U.P. in the late 2010. Another big epidemic that swept northern Michigan was CAT – or methcathinone. The drugs all provided a speed like buzz – with ghastly side-effects.

Why meth is worst so far: God Bless our drug teams but they do not have the funding and manpower to make a dent in the problem including funds for massive operation  going after those who ship ephedrine to the U.P. – or drive it here

All these highly-addictive drugs happened to otherwise good people in the Upper Peninsula, where family values still have a credible meaning.

The drugs simply changed them – consuming the lives of the addicts – though rehab helps. That’s another problem

If there were more treatment facilities in the U.P. lots more people could become healthy instead of choosing the abyss. Remember if you love the person, do not be judgmental- as addicts already know what they have done.
The meth epidemic and the drop in heroin prices have led to the worst of the epidemics so far – due to the vast number of users (and poverty) – versus relatively small police drug teams.

The drug teams could use twice the funding and manpower to really make a bigger effect – more if you want to end it for all practical purposes.
However our readers say that China is pumping ephedrine into the U.P. (a critical component of meth) – and so are dealers from bigger Midwestern cities.

With the large epidemic under way in U.P. history – its important to wipe out meth by turning in dealers and providing treatment to others (yes they are victims).

“Bath Salts”

Alpha-pyrrolidinopentiphenone, commonly known as alpha-PVP, and pentylone.

The term “bath salts” refers to a group of substances containing synthetic cathinones that all have similar chemical properties. These substances have a powerful amphetamine-like effect on the central nervous system when consumed. Synthetic cathinones are chemically similar to the natural drug cathinone, a drug that comes from khat plants in east Africa.

Kristin Ellen Bergeron

Kristin Ellen Bergeron

In Mackinac County, the pair are charged with operating under the influence of drugs and possession of methamphetamine.

During the raid, UPSET “seized several more grams of methamphetamine, as well as scales, packaging for distribution, and a firearm.”

Press release by federal prosecutors on May 14, 2014:

MARQUETTE, MICHIGAN – U.S. District Judge R. Allan Edgar sentenced three people for their involvement in distributing two powerful “bath salts” – alpha-pyrrolidinopentiphenone, which is commonly known as alpha-PVP, and pentylone – for human consumption in the Upper Peninsula.

Scott Bernard Will, age 56, of Mass City, Michigan, received a sentence of 137 months (11 ½ years) in federal prison. Last December, a federal jury in Marquette found Will guilty of distributing and conspiring to distribute alpha-PVP and pentylone in Baraga and Houghton Counties. In imposing the sentence, Judge Edgar commented on Will’s extensive criminal history, noting that Will was a “walking crime wave.”

Also sentenced were Derrick John Guzek, age 34, also of Mass City, and Kristen Ellen Bergeron, age 31, of Pelkie, Michigan. Guzek received a sentence of 16 months in prison while Bergeron was sentenced to 18 months.

The term “bath salts” refers to a group of substances containing synthetic cathinones that all have similar chemical properties. These substances have a powerful amphetamine-like effect on the central nervous system when consumed. Synthetic cathinones are chemically similar to the natural drug cathinone, a drug that comes from khat plants in east Africa.

The evidence presented at trial showed that Will began selling bath salts in the Marquette area in 2011. He was jailed for his activities from June 2011 until November 2012. But, upon release from jail, he went back to selling the substances. Will’s sales of alpha-PVP and pentylone in Baraga and Houghton Counties in early 2013 drew the attention of the Upper Peninsula Substance Enforcement Team and the U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs.

An undercover officer made a number of purchases of these substances from Mr. Will and his co-conspirators in March and April 2013. He and his co-conspirators were arrested in April 2013. Guzek and Bergeron pled guilty and testified for the government. Will went to trial in Marquette on December 9, 2013.

As part of its case, the government presented testimony from users who said that the bath salts sold to them by Will were extremely powerful and addictive. They reported staying up for days after injecting the substances, and experiencing psychosis, paranoia and suicidal thoughts. Judge Edgar noted that the users were “physically wrecked by these drugs.”

The evidence at trial showed Will specifically targeted people with drug problems by offering the substances for free. Once the user was hooked, Will charged up to $200 per gram.

This case was investigated by the Michigan State Police as part of the Upper Peninsula Substance Enforcement Team and the Bureau of Indian Affairs. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Maarten Vermaat and Paul D. Lochner prosecuted the case.

On Thursday, March 15, 2018 – agents from the Upper Peninsula Substance Enforcement team (UPSET) raided the couple’s home near Pelkie, MI. UPSET executed a search warrant at the couple’s residence on Puuri Road in Baraga County.

Bergeron’s 34-year-old male partner was jailed in Mackinac County – but is no longer listed as an inmate.

Baraga County is among the growing number of  U.P. counties who refuse to publicly release info on booked suspects – so it is unclear if he is out on bond – or has been transferred.

If you know the other suspect’s name (partner of Bergeron) please contact U.P. Breaking News.

Bergeron is a native of Dearborn Heights, according to her Facebook page.

(Gwinn, MI) – A Hell, MI native was arrested allegedly trying to flee a Gwinn, MI trailer fire that cops say was a meth lab at a Forsyth Township mobile home park.

31-year-old Brad Michael Overly, who apparently hasn’t lived in Gwinn for too long, was arrested following the mobile home fire reported at about 6:35 p.m. ET Wednesday night, March 7, 2018. Overly’s Facebook page states he is a native of Hell, MI and Clare, MI. Recent Facebook posts by overly have become increasingly dark with “wanted dead or alive” graphics, skulls and more.

The first police on the scene reported smoke coming from the trailer at 55 East Riling Street Lot 27 in Gwinn – and firefighters were warned to beware of meth components. Police busted Overly as he tried to flee the scene in his car.

The Upper Peninsula Substance Enforcement Team was called to the scene to help dispose of the toxic chemicals.

Numerous Gwinn residents have been arrested this year – and more busted are expected – as meth is running rampant in Gwinn, K.I. Sawyer and the surrounding area. This is the second fire this year involving Gwinn residents that allegedly involve meth cooking.

The jailed Overly is charged with the 20-year felony operating/maintaining laboratory involving methamphetamine.
Assisting on the scene were the Forsyth Township Fire Department and Marquette County Rescue Squad 131.

In a bizarre irony, the costly cleaning up of each U.P. Meth lab drains valuable money the UPSET team and its law enforcement partners could be put back into the fight to root out an extremely addictive epidemic that has destroyed thousands of U.P. lives.

Meth, heroin, opioids, fentanyl and other extremely addictive drugs have devastated many U.P. homes.

In many cases, its the old story of bad things happening to otherwise good people – who get in over their heads in an instant. Then however, are the meth dealers who try to get everyone hooked for their own profit.
