NEWBERRY, MI The suspect in a Luce County officer-involved shooting has been arrested on a number of charges.
Early Wednesday morning a deputy was questioning a driver at the Newberry Water and Light Plant when the driver reached into his pocket. The deputy reached into the vehicle and tried to stop the suspect, who hit the officer on the face several times and sped off. The deputy was dragged a short distance. He pulled his gun and shot at the driver, who took off.
The suspect was later found and apprehended.
State Police from the Sault Ste. Marie Post say the suspect was not injured, but the deputy sustained minor injuries.

If you’re a male and you “identify” as female, the woke amongst us will rush to affirm your identity, and punish those who don’t validate your delusion and call them bigots.
Well, some Michigan residents, tired of COVID-19 restrictions, are using that same logic to be able to ditch their face masks by saying they “identify as fully vaccinated” despite not being so.
Residents of Luce County, Mich., a county of 6,600 people where only three people have died from COVID-19, are giving local health officials headaches from their clever tactic.
“A lot of people are using the phrase, ‘I identify as fully vaccinated’ and taking their masks off,” Kerry Ott, public information officer for the Luce, Mackinac, Alger, and Schoolcraft (LMAS) health department told Michigan Radio. “I’m not kidding …They’re not vaccinated, but they’re going to take their masks off.”
