Cougar spotted on DNR game camera in Gogebic County

Cougar on camera

  • Cougars were originally native to Michigan, but were wiped out from Michigan around the early 1900s. The last known wild cougar legally taken in the state occurred in 1906 near Newberry. There have been periodic confirmations of cougar sightings since that time, and one illegal harvest in the Upper Peninsula. Over the past few years, numerous cougar sighting reports have been received from various locations in Michigan. This situation is not unique to Michigan, but has been occurring in many other mid-western and eastern states as young males disperse from core range in the western United States.

OCTOBER 11, 2018 MARQUETTE, MICHIGAN



AND THIS IS WHERE YOU END UP WITH MARIJUANA   YOU GET TO THE DAY WHEN MARIJUANA DON'T GIVE YOU THAT HIGH SO YOU GO TO HEROIN


 OCTOBER 11, 2018
MARQUETTE, MICHIGAN — Derrick “Bam” Samuels was sentenced to 20 years in prison following multiple federal drug convictions for his involvement in distributing heroin in the Gwinn, Michigan area from 2008 until the spring of 2017.
Samuels, who was determined to be a “career offender”, had two prior felony drug convictions which triggered greater penalties.
Chief Judge Robert J. Jonker of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Michigan imposed the sentence.
The Upper Peninsula Substance Enforcement Team (UPSET) investigated Samuels.
Their investigation showed that Samuels obtained heroin in the Chicago area and distributed it from his residence in the Gwinn area using a number of associates.
Samuels was indicted by a federal grand jury and denied the charges against him.
He went to trial in federal court in February and the jury convicted him on all counts.
A number of Samuels’ drug trafficking associates testified against him.
Their accounts painted a sad picture of a common pathway into heroin addiction: each of the witnesses suffered an injury that was treated, in part, with an opioid painkiller, which triggered an addiction to opioids and an eventual switch to heroin.
Their addiction to heroin led each of the witnesses to Samuels.

The upset investigation also showed that Samuels did not work outside his home, but, nevertheless, made enough money to take photographs of himself burning a $100 bill.
