UPDATE: MSP identifies individuals responsible for threats to Marquette Culver’s

The Michigan State Police are hitting the road this summer with a statewide tour of Michigan communities, including the UP.

MARQUETTE COUNTY, Mich. (WZMQ) – UPDATE: The Michigan State Police (MSP) has identified four juvenile individuals who made alleged threats to shoot the Culver’s restaurant in Marquette. At this time the MSP believes the threats were prank calls and the callers had no intention of doing any physical harm.

“The MSP takes all reported threats seriously and thoroughly investigates each incident to ensure public safety,” said Lt. Ben Eckola, MSP Eighth District Public Information Officer. “This type of behavior is not a joke and making false threats is never acceptable.”

“The safety of our guests and team members is our number one priority,” Culver’s Owner George Niemi told WZMQ 19. “We’re thankful to the police for their support in resolving this situation and equally grateful that it turned out to be a prank. We also want to thank our guests for their patience during this situation and eagerly look forward to serving our guests.”

The investigation remains ongoing and will be forwarded to the Marquette County Prosecutor’s Office for their review.


ORIGINAL STORY:

The MSP Negaunee Post is investigating a report of threats made towards the Culver’s restaurant in Marquette. Currently, there is no known danger to the public.

On Sunday, June 8, MSP received a report that alleged threats had been made against the restaurant. The threats appear to have been directed specifically at the Marquette Culver’s location and not at any specific individuals.

When the investigation began, the restaurant temporarily closed as a precaution in response to the reported threats. MSP troopers responded to Culver’s and have been actively investigating the reported threats. The Marquette Culver’s is currently closed, with plans to resume normal operations on Monday, June 9.

Additional information will be shared as the investigation develops. Anyone with information is asked to contact Marquette County Central Dispatch at 906-475-9912 or the MSP Negaunee Post at 906-475-9922
