SB man sentenced for being disorderly person

30 year-old Jordan T. Anderson of Suttons Bay Township was sentenced to 4 days in jail Friday.  He pleaded guilty to being a Disorderly Person/ Drunk in District Court earlier.

Anderson was arrested on September 14 at 2:15 am after a Leelanau Township resident reported a man passed out the front yard.  Leelanau County Sheriff's deputies arrived and after waking Anderson up, determined that he was intoxicated and reporting that he crashed his girlfriend's car somewhere.  His blood alcohol was .21%.

After arresting Anderson, deputies and Grand Traverse Band Tribal Police searched the area for a possible crash site without success.  Neither Anderson nor his girlfriend ever reported an accident.

He will have 365 days of probation which will include daily breath tests, monthly drug testing, 2 days community service work and twice weekly AA or NA attendance.  Anderson must also pay $525 fines and costs.

Sunday afternoon a caller told Leelanau Dispatch that they were worried that a turkey on S Plowman Road was in danger.  The caller felt that because of the the tom's enlarged caruncles, snood and dewlap, the bird's vision was obstructed to the point of making it dangerous for the critter to cross the road.

Dispatch informed the Leelanau County DNR Conservation officer of the situation.
