MUNISING, Mich. (WZMQ) – An Upper Peninsula man has been arraigned for possession with intent to deliver methamphetamine.
On August 2, Sergeant Perry King of the Alger County Sheriff’s Office conducted a traffic stop on M-94 near Rumley. The vehicle’s driver, John William Jacobson, made statements and gestures that caused King to suspect illegal activity. King deployed his canine, Alger, which alerted him to the presence of narcotics.
As a result, the Sheriff’s Office seized 14.907 ounces of methamphetamine from the vehicle. Jacobson was arrested and transported to the Alger County Jail.
“Yesterday, Sgt. King removed a significant quantity of methamphetamine out of circulation,” said Alger County Sheriff Todd Brock. “It’s because of Sgt. King’s countless hours of work with our K9s and the diligence of our officers that we’re able to intervene and prevent these drugs from reaching our community.”
“I want to applaud Sgt. King and the Alger County Sheriff’s Office for the excellent work they’re doing in finding, arresting, and building a case against traffickers,” Alger County Prosecutor Robert Steinhoff said. “I’m proud to work closely with the Sheriff’s Office to keep these life-taking poisons off our streets and out of our communities.”
Jacobson was given a $50,000 bond by the 93rd District Court at arraignment, allowing 10% of that to be posted to satisfy the bond.
