(K.I. Sawyer, MI) – Few details are known about a dramatic highly visible state, federal and local raid on Friday at least one K.I. Sawyer residence in Marquette County, Michigan – a raid that even frightened local children because of its drama but pleased parents because of its size, execution and message.
State and federal agents – including members of UPSET – wore tactical gear and were heavily armed when they conducted the daylight raid in a Sawyer neighborhood. Numerous K.I. sawyers residents contacted U.P. Breaking News after witnessing the raid.
Its unclear the reason for the raid although its known that Sawyer has been the subject of numerous investigations into a drug pipeline from Midwestern cities like Detroit, Chicago and several in Wisconsin and Minnesota. Drugs like heroin, crack cocaine, suboxone, painkillers, meth and others have become a huge problem across the U.P. That is the fight cops battled daily.
DEA, ATF, FBI, and other federal agents have teamed up with UPSET and other regional drug team to make numerous raids across the U.P. in recent months.
One difference in this raid is how visible it was as U.P. Breaking News has received numerous reports including how it shocked local kids – and was a welcome message from parents who know the issues involving drugs and guns on the former Air Force Base.
U.P Breaking News has reached out to authorities for information but so far nothing has been released publicly.
It’s unclear whether state of federal charges were at stake in this raid.
U.P. Breaking News has confirmed that a federal grand jury sitting in Marquette this past week returned numerous indictments – and its not unusual for indictments to remain sealed until the suspects are in custody.
U.P. Breaking News has examined federal search warrants over the past few years that indicate the drug problem has not escaped the noticed of authorities and future arrests are certain.
We are not sure if other locations were taken down by authorities Friday or today.

There is more crime in Ishpeming, Negaunee, and Marquette, then there is in Gwinn, which the former sawyer area is actually just a part of. Please check your facts.

That is not true – but I respect your opini9on and even my logo has the Meth Team raid in Ishpeming FB news page). There is more crime reported by per capita – but either way – its close and there is crime everywhere and I salute the Ishpeming Chief for working so hard to kick meth out of his town.
