A Mason police officer on Oct. 27 was approached by a man who requested an ambulance. He explained he had consumed one and a half fifths of vodka and needed medical attention. The officer summoned an ambulance; the man agreed to a breath test which netted a .33 percent breath alcohol level. Medical responders took over the matter. From Oct. 22 through Oct. 28, Mason Police investigated 28 reported incidents involving a variety of both criminal and noncriminal activities. ■ An officer stopped a car on Hull Road for having an unreadable temporary license tag and an uncased compound bow on the back window ledge, which was visible from behind the car. The driver stated he went to the store for snacks and he and his two passengers were returning home. He admitted the plate was improper and he had no insurance but didnt think that would be a problem. Investigation uncovered the driver was currently out on bond which stipulated he was not to be even in the presence of alcohol, let alone drink it. He had a breath alcohol level of .08 percent. It was also discovered one of the passengers was wanted in Mt. Pleasant by the Saginaw Chippewa Police on a criminal bench warrant for failure to appear at the 76th District Court on a liquor law violation. Both the passenger and driver were arrested. The passenger was turned over the Saginaw Chippewa Police during a mid-point meet in St. Johns. The driver was taken to the Ingham County Jail and given a breath test on suspicion of driving while impaired, but there the test produced a .05 percent, so he was not charged. However, he was lodged for the bond violation. The report will be sent to the Prosecutors Office for review on possible charges of driving while impaired, transporting the uncased compound bow and possession of a firearm while under the influence. This last charge was made because an unloaded but uncased semi-automatic pistol and loaded magazine were found loose in the trunk. The car was impounded and the other passenger was released to an arranged ride.

In the end, the resident produced three baggies of marijuana, pipes and a grinder. None were medical marijuana users and all three were cited for marijuana use/possession. The contraband was seized.
