COPPER CITY, MI-- Police have identified a Houghton County man arrested Thursday morning after a nearly 12-hour standoff with police.
Troopers from the Calumet Post were called to Gratiot Street in Copper City after Jerome Flum, 64, allegedly threatened a public works employee who was trying to collect on a bill Wednesday morning.
Flum was still barricaded in his home and making threatening statements toward police at 9 p.m. Wednesday when the Michigan State Police Emergency Support Team was summoned. Negotiations continued until Flum surrendered and was taken into custody around 6:20 Thursday morning.
