Man arrested in Gogebic County for threatening woman with a stick

MARENISCO TOWNSHIP, MI--   An Indiana man has been arrested in Gogebic County for threatening a woman. 

Troopers from the Wakefield Post were called to a Marenisco Township residence Sunday night on a report that an unknown male had approached a family from a wooded area near their house.  They say the man entered Lake Gogebic with a large stick and made physical threats toward an adult female. 

When troopers made contact with the subject he was making rambling statements about Satan and religion. 

The 42-year-old Laporte, Indiana man was lodged in the Gogebic County Jail on a felonious assault charge.  It’s punishable by up to four years in jail.
