Winter weather keeps it quiet

The majority of the activity for Leelanau County deputies over the weekend was weather related.  Deputies investigated 6 motor vehicle crashes but thankfully there were no injuries.  There were also 11 reports of vehicles into the ditch not requiring reports.  3 snow plowing related complaints were also handled.

No arrests were made since Friday but deputies responded to 3 reports of family trouble, 8 false alarms, 3 car/deer accidents with one involving a patrol car.  There was a death investigation, the report of gunshots which was a citizen legally target shooting, a larceny of a license plate and officers assisted a disoriented senior citizen. 

Early Sunday morning deputies investigated an assault at a Leland Township restaurant which hospitalized a 37 year-old Suttons Bay man with facial injuries.  The suspect is a 25 year-old Leland Township man.  No arrests have been made and the case will be presented to the prosecutor's office when the investigation is complete.
