Donald Grooms, one of at least 11 people arrested on drug charges in Alpena County in January, appears in the 26th Circuit Court on Monday.
ALPENA — Two jail inmates will have to wait to tie the knot after a request for a jailhouse wedding was turned down in Alpena’s 26th Circuit Court on Monday.
Nikolas Niezgoda, an inmate of the Alpena County Jail since Jan. 5, requested through attorney Ron Bayot that he be allowed to marry female inmate Aaron Bissonette.
Niezgoda and Bissonette were arrested together Jan. 5 when Alpena Police Department officers stopped the car in which the two were riding as it left a suspected Alpena Township drug house.
