Police on Friday arrested an Alpena man caught illegally carrying a concealed pistol, the Michigan State Police said today. Troopers from the Seventh District Hometown Security Team stopped the 31-year-old, whom they did not identify, around 10:30 a.m. on U.S.-23 North near Hamilton Road in Alpena Township for several violations. A 9mm handgun in the man’s possession led to his arrest when police verified the man did not have a license to carry a concealed pistol. Police lodged the man in the Alpena County Jail.
