The following calls were made to the Michigan State Police Cadillac Post for Manistee County incidents from April 16-22. All calls may not be reported.
Road work is expected to start this month on a section of U.S. 31 in Manistee that is in disrepair after the date of a complete rework of the popular roadway was changed.

A Michigan Department of Natural Resources conservation officer on Sunday used a tourniquet to stop blood loss from a 22-year-old Scottville man, who was recovering Monday in an area hospital from an accidental, self-inflicted gunshot wound.
The shooting occurred Sunday morning on U.S. Forest Service-managed land that is available for target shooting, east of Manistee in Manistee County.
Conservation Officer Scott MacNeill the first emergency responder on scene, spoke with the thankful man on Monday morning. To respect the man’s medical privacy, the DNR is not releasing his name.
According to MacNeill, the man told him: “Your tourniquet saved my life. If I had to wait for EMS I don’t know what I would have done.”
