Home Invasion Suspect Arrested on Drug and Weapon Charges

A man suspected of breaking into an Elmwood Township home in February and stealing a handgun has been bound over to Circuit Court on drug and weapon charges.  Tacha M. Milk, 29, of Traverse City, waived a preliminary examination in 86th District Court Friday in Suttons Bay.  He is accused of selling 9 morphine pills to an undercover officer with the Traverse Narcotics Team in November 2012 in Elmwood Township.  The criminal complaint says that Milk was also in possession of a handgun during the drug delivery. 

He was arrested last week in Grand Traverse County for possession of stolen property and weapons charges involving a handgun taken from an Elmwood Township residence.  Milk is a suspect in the home invasion and the Leelanau County Prosecutor's Office is reviewing the case. 

Milk remains jailed after being unable to post bond.  Delivery of Morphine carries a 7 year maximum penalty and Felony Firearm possession a mandatory 2 year consecutive sentence.

Driver Arrested for Driving Impaired

A 57 year-old Traverse City man was arrested Thursday for Driving While Impaired.  He was stopped by Leelanau deputies at 8:25 pm on S. West Bay Shore Drive in Elmwood Township.  Field sobriety tasks were administered and the driver was arrested.

Driving While Impaired 2nd Offense charges will be sought because of a prior conviction which resulted from a parking lot crash in Solon Township in August 2011.  The driver remains jailed until bond is posted.
