According to WLUC-TV, twenty-six-year-old Michael Newberry from Chassell waived his preliminary examination.

Newberry is accused of possessing methamphetamine and ecstasy and is also charged with operating or maintaining a meth lab.

Newberry's case will be bound over to circuit court.

His girlfriend, Nichole Saatio who was also arrested in connection with the meth lab, is scheduled for a preliminary examination Wednesday.

(PORTAGE TOWNSHIP)- Two teens were injured in a two-vehicle accident Monday in Portage Township.

According to the Houghton County Sheriff's Office, a 16 year-old female from Dollar Bay was making a left turn on U.S. 41 into a private drive near Pilgrim Point, and was struck broad side by a north bound vehicle driven by 26 year-old Brady Olson of Toivola, sending the other car into the ditch.

Sheriff deputies needed the “jaws of life” to remove a 16 year-old female passenger from that car. 

(DETROIT)-  Traffic across the Ambassador Bridge, the U.S.-to-Canada span from Detroit to Windsor, Ontario, was closed for hours while authorities checked out a bomb threat.

The threat came Monday night to the U.S. side of the bridge.

There was a similar threat four days earlier to the nearby Detroit/Windsor tunnel.

Detroit police say someone called 9-1-1 around 7:20 p.m. Monday, saying a bomb would go off in 10 minutes.

Sgt. Eren Stephens says the call prompted authorities in Detroit and Windsor to halt all truck and car traffic across the bridge.

(MARQUETTE)- Athletes at Marquette Area Public Schools will have to pass a unique exam in order to play.

It's called a baseline test, a memory and response exam already used in hundreds of schools across the nation since 2009 to detect and prevent concussions.

According to WLUC-TV, the screening takes about 45 minutes to complete online.

It tests the student's cognitive skills after a concussion.

Officials say it helps track the recovery process and gets the athlete back on the field faster.

(MARQUETTE)- Carey Hall, on Northern Michigan University's campus, will soon be just a memory.

WLUC-TV reports that after looking at ways to re-use the facility it was decided that the best course of action is to demolish the building.

Demolition work began Monday and will be going on for the rest of the week.

The debris is being soaked with water to keep the dust to a minimum.

Crews are also monitoring decibel levels around the project.

According to NMU engineer Steve Labar, the project will cost an estimated $800,000.
