CRYSTAL FALLS, MI-- Three men who took a Michigan State Police patrol car on a joyride in Iron River in March have pleaded to misdemeanor charges.
The car was brought to Northland Automotive & Powersports for repairs. After the business closed Stanley Marcell, Alex Nordang, and former Iron County deputy Anthony Silva took the car for a ride, then came back.
The three were originally charged with joyriding – or unauthorized use of an automobile. They pleaded guilty Tuesday to a reduced charge of unlawful use of a motor vehicle.
Sentencing is set for August 27 in Iron County District Court.
