Name of man suspected in high-speed chase released

MARQUETTE, MI--   A preliminary hearing has been set for a man arrested after he led State Police on a high-speed chase near Skandia Wednesday night. 

Craig Silta, 44, is charged with fleeing and eluding, resisting and obstructing, and driving without a valid driver’s license.

Troopers allegedly pursued Silta on US-41 from Skandia to Kiva, then stopped the chase when he turned down a slippery, snow-covered road.  Silta was later identified and arrested. 

Silta remains lodged in the Marquette County Jail on a $20,000 bond.  His preliminary exam is set for March 16.
