Joint patrol operation held in Ishpeming

ISHPEMING, MI--   The Upper Peninsula Substance Enforcement Team teamed up with other law enforcement agencies Thursday for a joint patrol operation in Ishpeming.

Detectives, Ishpeming Police, the Marquette County Sheriff’s Office, and Michigan State Police combined their efforts because of an increase in tips relating to drug activity in the area.

UPSET says officers cited and arrested multiple suspects for various traffic- and drug-related offenses. Among other instances, Ishpeming officers conducted a traffic stop and arrested an 18-year-old man on an outstanding warrant for delivery of meth; officers arrested a 23-year-old man during a traffic stop on two counts of possession of a controlled substance; and a State Police K-9 unit observed a suspicious person who fled into the woods. UPSET detectives and troopers walked to where the subject was last seen and found components related to the manufacture of meth.

Numerous other traffic stops resulted in the evidence of drug abuse and sales.

No names have yet been released.
