Nov. 28-Dec. 11

PRESQUE ISLE COUNTY

CO Paul Fox received a complaint of turkeys being intentionally run over by a motor vehicle near Onaway. CO Fox responded to the area and contacted the complainant. Evidence on-scene confirmed that a vehicle had in fact run over several turkeys. No turkey carcasses remained on scene, and it was believed they had been removed by the suspect. Several leads have developed, and the investigation is ongoing.

ALPENA COUNTY

CO Dan Liestenfeltz was conducting late night ice fishing checks on Fletchers Pond in Alpena County. Upon checking one of the groups, it was determined that two subjects did not have fishing licenses and one of the subjects was in possession of a 17-inch largemouth bass. Bass season was closed at the time. CO Liestenfeltz issued one of the subjects a ticket for fishing without a license and the other was issued a ticket for possessing the bass out of season.

MONTMORENCY COUNTY

CO Dan Liestenfeltz was patrolling Albert Township in Montmorency County when he observed a vehicle approach an intersection and began to drift and do rapid accelerations causing the driver to lose control of his vehicle. CO Liestenfeltz initiated a traffic stop on the vehicle and when talking to the driver, CO Liestenfeltz determined that the driver had been drinking. After putting the subject through SFSTs, the driver was determined to be intoxicated. The driver refused the preliminary breath test. CO Liestenfeltz arrested the subject for OWI. After the subject was lodged, it was determined that the driver was almost two times the legal limit.
