Tribal police arrest man on GT warrant

Grand Traverse Band Tribal Police arrested Elijah D. Shomin Tuesday.  Shomin, 18, of Peshawbestown, was wanted by Grand Traverse County for failing to appear for arraignment on an original charge of Use of a Controlled Substance.

Shomin was taken to the Leelanau County Jail where he was picked up by Grand Traverse deputies later in the day.

Drivers respecting slippery roads

Although Leelanau County roads have been snow covered and slippery recently, drivers appear to have slowed down and are using more caution.  If the lack of crashes are any indication, County drivers seem to have acclimated to winter driving very well.  There were no weather related crashes in the last 24 hours. 

A 2010 Toyota Prius did slide through the stop sign at the bottom of Benzonia Trail at Glenmere Road Monday evening but there was no vehicle damage.  The car ended up in the yard of the home which was damaged last year when a vehicle went through the stop sign, rolled over and crashed into the dining room.

Leelanau County deer aren't affected by the road conditions.  Three car/deer crashes were reported since Tuesday.
