NEGAUNEE TOWNSHIP, MI— A Negaunee man has been arrested by Michigan State Police for driving under the influence of drugs, among other charges.

On Monday, a trooper from the Negaunee Post conducted a traffic stop on Midway Drive near US-41 in Negaunee Township. During the stop, the male driver switched seats with a female passenger in an attempt to hide the fact he’d been driving.

Derrick Cram, 35, was arrested for driving under a suspended license, operating while under the influence of drugs-3rd offense, and for being in possession of meth.

Cram was lodged in the Marquette County Jail on a $25,000 bond.

A probable cause conference is set for January 23 in 96^th District Court.
