MUNISING, MI— An Alger County man was found guilty of absconding on a bond following a one-day trial in Munising last week.
The Alger County Prosecutor’s Office says on Wednesday, a jury convicted Craig Smith, 48, of skipping a mandatory urine screen in December 2024 and failing to appear before the 11th Circuit Court. He was on bond from a case involving the possession of meth and cocaine.
In January of 2025, Smith was found fleeing through the woods near a home in Limestone and was tracked 1.5 miles by a Sheriff’s Office K-9 and deputies.
He also faces charges of possession of a firearm by a felon in Marquette and Alger counties.
Smith has requested a directed verdict, which is given by a judge instead of the jury.
