UPSET makes Ontonagon County arrest

A 29-year-old man from Ontonagon Township is in custody on multiple felony charges related to narcotics dealing.

A nine-month investigation led law enforcement to discover that the man was receiving packages from Arizona containing methamphetamine and heroin. They intercepted one on Thursday en route to the Woodspur Road home. Authorities allowed the package to be delivered, and then arrested the man as he came outdoors to retrieve it.

Drug paraphernalia was discovered in the man’s vehicle and home. Possession with Intent to Deliver Methamphetamine and Possession with Intent to Deliver Heroin both carry a sentence of up to 20 years in prison.
