Editors note: Alarming large number of daily arrests makes one wonder about how safe are the roads: – seems like 20 percent (or more) of the driver’s on the road are not legal. Plus many drivers that are stopped are “wanted” on out-of-state warrants – and the agencies that filed the charges do not want to travel to get their suspect – so driver is released. U.P. Breaking News – as a rule – doesn’t print the names of those arrested for drunken or drugged driving or the countess booked for driving with a revoked/suspended license. In addition, arrested because many cannot afford today’s high insurance premiums. We don’t generally report those things – unless there is an incident or something happens like resisting arrest.
(Escanaba/Marquette, MI) – Men with lengthy records are jailed tonight for domestic violence – plus an unusual conspiracy case – and the shocking increase in the bail for a civil rights activist charged with B&E in Marquette County.
In fact – the highest bonds are for those NOT charged with a violent crime.
A man convicted of numerous assaults was sent to jail today – again:
