(Escanaba, MI) – While the Delta County Sheriff and Prosecutor continue protecting the identities of those who beat women, U.P. Breaking News keeps getting information from behind their Iron Curtain – as a convicted sex offender has been released on bond after allegedly brutal attack on his wife and another man in a Ford River Bar on Sunday night.

43-year-old Richard Dale Stannard was booked into the Delta County Detention Center late Sunday, April 29, 2018 and released on bond just over an hour later.

Stannard was convicted on May 17, 1996 of criminal sexual conduct (CSC) – assault with intent to commit sexual penetration in Delta County 47th District Court.

U.P. Breaking News has found a video of the altercation involving three people – Richard Stannard is shown allegedly beating up Brent Papineau Jr.

Richard Stannard is allegedly shown throwing his wife Nicki Stannard. We have tried to upload the video but so far have not been able to do it.

He apparently has had addresses in Escanaba and Ford River.

The Delta County Prosecutor and Sheriff recently decided to protect those charged with all violence because U.P. Breaking News pointed out they have given sweetheart deals to men who beat and terrorize women.

They are releasing the photos and names of people booked, but no longer showing what criminal charges had been filed.

U.P. Breaking News believes that the U.P. domestic violence epidemic will continue if the suspects are allowed to hide in the shadows of the egos of electrocuted officials – as women are beaten every night across the U.P.

We have heard every excuse in the book for not identifying those who commit these horrendous crimes.

The exact charges against Stannard are not known because Delta County is hiding that information. Our sources tipped us off to this case.
Stannard is said to be charged with assault and battery, and domestic violence

U.P. Breaking News has read numerous online comments about this case – some demonizing Stannard fearing what will happen next – and others who have strongly defended him.

Many residents spoke out about their concern for the couple’s child/children.

Some say the male victim – Brent Papineau Jr. – and Stannard’s wife do not deserve to get a beat down.

With some even blaming the victim for “pushing him too far.” That seems to be a common attitude amongst domestic violence cases – the falsehood that it is somehow the victim’s fault.

“I fear he may do worse, and there are kids in the home,” exclaimed one concerned citizen who knows the couple. Some stated that Stannard has the money to buy himself out of past beating incidents.

“The fact that he is a rich guy scares the hell out of me – if he can throw around his own wife like that,” stated one of several sources.

Stannard has the aliases of Rocky Stannard, and Rocky Dale Stannard.

As U.P. Breaking News closes down today, we hope our effort to show light on domestic violence will help even one woman from being beaten. We will reopen once we can afford our expenses of $250 per month.

I have spent thousands to bring you the information on brutality in U.P. counties and tribal nations therein. We hope U.P. residents who live in the Iron Curtain counties of news blackouts – will remember this when they go to the polls to vote for sheriff and prosecutor.

If you would like to help us get restarted call 905-273-2433.

Thank you and I pray for all the woman who will be beaten this weekend and do not know it yet.

The blonde female ‘got in a white Jeep” and “sped out of the parking lot to get away from the male,” officers were told.
The male got into an older red passenger car and “was leaving in a hurry,” a 911 dispatcher to responding officers
The male, now a suspect, “apparently struck a black in color car in the parking lot,” he said, adding that due to darkness the exact make and model of the red car was not visible.
The red car should “have front and rear damage,” the dispatcher said.
The witness told police that the couple was involved in a previous domestic situation about one month ago.
On the east side of the apartment building, police found a damaged red Ford Taurus.
Its is unclear what became of the investigation.

Meanwhile in the southern U.P. – a hammer incident injures at least one and possibly two people early Tuesday.

Ashley Alexander

Domestic violence victim Ashley Alexander

A hammer was allegedly used in an attack Tuesday morning involving a downstate man and his ex-girlfriend – as one or both were injured in attack that saw the man allegedly hit the woman with the hammer.

The attack was reported about 12:20 a.m. CT and 1:20 a.m. ET Tuesday, April 24, 2018.

42-year-old Howard James Compo of Mountain Pleasant, MI allegedly ignored a personal protection order and assaulted his ex with a hammer.

A police officer radioed another that he had found a bloody weapon.

“I found a hammer outside the residence with blood all over it,” the officer stated. “And his girlfriend has blood all over her as well.

The dispatcher radioed officers that Compo is forbidden to have “contact with Ashley Alexander without written permission from the probation officer.”
Police found a nearby Crown Victoria registered to Compo.
In Jan. 2018, Compo was given a light sentence for domestic violence in Isabella County Trial Court.

Compo was sentenced to 21 days in jail, 10 months probation plus about $600 in fines/costs for domestic violence.
Originally from Lansing, Compo is a maintenance worker for the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe and Housekeeping at Soaring Eagle Casino & Resort
On his Facebook page, under relationship Compo put “It’s complicated.”
The incident happened in either Delta or Menominee counties – but a check of both shows officials have not booked the man (or his ex) in either Delta or Menominee counties.

So the exact location of hammer incident has not been confirmed – an injured man who was hammered drunk was found Bark River at the same time – not clear if connected.

However at the same time a man was found drunk and injured in Bark River.
The man found highly intoxicated and laying on the ground near the Bergman Insurance Agency at 1343 U.S. Highway 2/41 in Bark River, MI. He was bleeding from his arm.
The dispatcher told officers headed to the scene that man wanted to leave, but was coaxed into staying by another person – who apparently wrapped the man’s arm as it was bleeding badly.
“He is still are arguing with the caller – wanting to leave but our caller is doing a real good job keeping him” from leaving.
“He is very insistent on leaving,” the dispatcher added.

Four felonies against Gwinn, MI man busted Friday night in alleged domestic violence case in which he allegedly used a knife to make threats – and a Marquette County teen gets drunk and is arrested for domestic battery – and she is only 17 years old

URGENT URGENT U.P. Breaking News Bulletin – 4-21-18 8:45 p.m. ET

We now know some of the serious charges filed against 39-year-old Stephen Wayne Field Jr., of Gwinn, MI in a domestic violence probe

Gwinn man arrested after allegedly using a knife to make threats during a domestic violence incident – meanwhile a 17-year-old Marquette County girl is charged with getting drunk and committing domestic battery

A Gwinn man was arrested Friday night for a domestic violence incident in which he allegedly used a knife.

This afternoon, the Marquette County Sheriff’s Department has issued a “be on the lookout” (BOLO) for the man allegedly armed with a knife during a domestic incident.

“The subject is wanted for questioning in the a domestic situation where he did (allegedly) use a knife as a threatening tool,” the BOLO stated.
That BOLO was canceled tonight when the man was taken into custody.

39-year-old Stephen Wayne Field Jr., of Gwinn, MI was arrested on Friday night, April 20, 2018.

The BOLO was readout about 6 hours earlier to all regional law enforcement during a broadcast to all cars by Negaunee Regional Dispatch.

The BOLO said Field was driving a green 2004 F-150 extended cab pickup truck (rusty truck) for questioning in a domestic violence incident involving a knife

“He is possibly armed with said knife,” the dispatcher said during the BOLO.
Field has former addresses listed in Palmer, Negaunee, Ishpeming, and Marquette, MI.

Meanwhile, in an unrelated case, a 17-year-old Marquette County youth was arrested Thursday afternoon for domestic battery – and she registered a .08 on a portable breath test (PBT) that measures alcohol intake. U.P. Breaking News has made an editorial decision not to release the young woman’s name because it was her first offense – and her young age and potential to learn from the experience.

And no arrests were made Thursday night in Delta County, when it was reported a youth had punched his girlfriend in the face.

A third party tipped off police who said the victims that had confided the domestic assault and would deny she was punched if contacted by police. However, police located both the male and female – an apparently decided there was not enough physical evidence or other evidence to warrant an arrest.

These were among numerous domestic violence cases reported since Thursday afternoon across the U.P. including once case that turned into a meth probe and another that led to the arrest of the now ex-Finlandia University Football Coach.

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.

(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.

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.

Delta County bookings/busts since Thursday: All weekend arrests in Delta County – that is now hiding which people are charged with domestic violence so we have to show everyone

URGENT – U.P. Breaking News Bulletin – 3-26-18 – 3:47 p.m. ET

Delta County arrests/bookings from Thursday thru Sunday, March 26, 2018 – Delta County is now protecting domestic violence suspects by hiding the charges – They are thin skinned and did not like one of our editorials that said they were soft on DV – so we are now forced to show all arrests

(Escanaba, MI) – U.P. Breaking News is now forced to show all arrests in Delta County – since the Delta County Sheriff and Prosecutor just began hiding charges again domestic violence and other assault suspects.

They did this a day or so after we criticized them for being weak on DV suspect – who had attacked two people in his short life – and put one in a coma.

We do not know – and neither does the public – what these people were charged with – and officials in Delta County like it that way.

U.P. Breaking News believes strongly in exposing domestic violence that is rampant across northern Michigan. It is sad that 14 of the 15 U.P. counties (exception is Marquette County) hide domestic violence and other felony arrests from the public.

They like the power and control of information – and like to decide what you know. This is unacceptable in a free society – especially in an area where a women are violently attacked daily by other men and women. Sometimes the victims are men – but most are beaten by cowardly men (the prosecutors, sheriffs are men).

Domestic violence must be brought out of the shadows even if the U.P. local Boss Hoggs want to protect the offenders. Women have the right to know what men and other women are violent.

Apparently they want you to guess the charges.

Woman assaulted, Arkansas man arrested following attack reported at a Wakefield convenience story; followed by two men hurt in brawl in Hurley, WI

(Wakefield, MI) – A female assault victim was taken to the hospital late Friday after a reported attack at a Wakefield convenience store.

The attack was reported at the Holiday Station on US-2 in Wakefield about 11 p.m. CT, Fri. night, Feb. 23, 2018.

It is not clear if the victim was a customer passing through – or the clerk.

Wakefield attack 1

The woman sustained unknown injuries in the assault. She was taken to the Aspirus Grand View Ironwood Hospital.

The suspect fled in the victims 2004 white Mazda 3.

“It’s my car,” the victim could be heard telling police over the two-way radio as they gave broadcast a lookout for the car.

The suspect was suspected to have fled to an apartment on nearby Sunday Lake Street.

“She was fairly frantic,” a dispatcher told police rushing to the scene.

Police arrested an Arkansas man who the victim said assaulted her.

31-year-old Marcus Jeffrey Tate of Little Rock, Arkansas was taken to the Gogebic County Jail after being arrested about 20 minutes after the attack.

A check by police showed that Tate has outstanding warrants out of Little Rock, Arkansas but they do not want him back that badly.

The felony probation violation warrant has “an in-state only pickup” that is non-extraditable The probation violation involves an original conviction for larceny.

Tate also took off without a valid driver’s license – as the suspect has a suspended driver’s license that expired on Dec. 27, 2017.

Police also ran a computer check of the suspect’s older brother –  but he was apparently not involved in the alleged attack.

Meanwhile, the violence was not exclusive to the Michigan side of the border.

At 11:30 p.m. CT Friday night – Beacon EMS paramedics were called to the Sliver Street Pit Stop bar/restaurant in Hurley, WI to treat two male victims involved in a fight.
“We have two subjects bleeding, both subjects were involved in a fight,” the dispatcher told paramedics.

Federal charge filed against Stephen Keezer, who allegedly pummeled his wife in early December: Victim’s ears ripped open when earrings yanked off, hole in her cheek, black eye, broken nose, and many more bruises and contusions

Federal charge filed against 23-year-old Stephen Reed Keezer of Wilson, MI for the alleged brutal assault

(Wilson, MI) – A federal prosecutor in Marquette had a great Valentines Day gift, for a man who allegedly beat up his wife during a predawn argument.

That present was an arrest warrant for 23-year-old Stephen Reed Keezer of Wilson, MI. He was charged in state court – but now its federal.

The case stems from a Dec. 6, 2017 event – when Keezer allegedly wailed on his wife causing serious injury including ripping out her pierced earrings, broken nose, black eye, clump of hair pulled out by roots, countless bruises/abrasions, and a through-and-through rip in her upper right cheek.

The victim was treated at St. Francis Hospital in Escanaba.

Horror at Hannahville 2-15-18 4

The no-nonsense Marquette federal prosecutor is Assistant U.S. Attorney Hannah Bobee, who has hammered numerous suspects in tribal domestic violence cases. Bobee sends tribal domestic violence abusers to federal prison – without parole.

Keezer will make an initial appearance next week before U.S. District Court Magistrate Judge Timothy P. Greeley.

 

Keezer was charged in federal court through a “criminal information” that was approved and issued by Magistrate Greeley. Below is part of that federal document prepared by Marquette FBI Agent John J. Fortunato, who has been investigating the case:

Keezer faces up to 10 years in federal prison if convicted on the charge of assault resulting in serious bodily injury.

The federal charge generally leads to the dropping of state charges.

However, it is not clear what will happen to the allegations about child abuse and second degree criminal sexual conduct (CSC).

The Menominee County man was charged in Delta County Circuit Court with hostage taking, sex crimes, and abusing woman and a child.

He was arrested shortly after the alleged beating on Dec. 6, 2017.

Keezer is a member of the Hannahville Indian Community.

Keezer was initially charged with fourth degree child abuse, aggravated domestic violence, second-degree CSC, and taking a hostage.

Keezer’s Facebook page states he concentrates on “being the best parent I can be.”

Keezer is being held in the Delta County Jail, and then after the Marquette hearing could eventually be transferred to Chippewa County jail where all pretrial federal prisoners are held.

**Editor’s note – The mobile patrol info has stopped for the past 24 hours – and at the Delta County Detention Center they put in a fake name this morning charged with domestic violence – not funny  or they are covering for a real person. Marquette County has also stopped.

(Sugar Island, MI) – Police have been searching for a man after he allegedly caused rib injuries to a female on Valentine’s Day 2018 on Sugar Island, MI in the eastern Upper Peninsula.
Last night, police responded to the Jewell residence on Sugar Island..
It is not clear if he fled the island – as the ferry was alerted but he may have driven a different vehicle than on the broadcast.
The suspect was either still hiding on the island or at the mainland casino playing Nickle slots.
