SHAWANO, WI-- The second of two suspects wanted in a Baraga County armed robbery case has been arrested in Wisconsin.
On August 1, the suspects—pretending to be U.S. Marshals—held a Watton couple at gunpoint and threatened to shoot them unless family members paid $10,000. They eventually fled after stealing some items.
One of the suspects was located August 5 in a residence in Stephenson.
On Wednesday the second suspect was found and arrested in Shawano, Wisconsin. U.S. Marshal Service deputies apprehended him following a tip that lead to a traffic stop. After the suspect ran from the vehicle authorities established a search area and took him into custody a short time later.
The subject was lodged in the Brown County Jail until his arraignment in U.S. Federal Court in Green Bay for impersonating a federal agent. Once extradited back to Michigan he will be arraigned on local charges.
