ISHPEMING -- A former Ontonagon man is facing home invasion charges after a daytime break-in of an Ishpeming residence.
    
The Ishpeming City Police say that the incident happened Friday morning around 11:45 a.m.
    
Witnesses saw a man remove a screen and crawl through the window of an apartment at the Mid Towne Apartment complex on Second Street.
    
The suspect had fled by the time officers arrived, however, they were able to locate him a short time later.  The 19-year-old man, Russell Leroy Witkowski, was arrested and later arraigned on one count of second degree home invasion.

The police believe that Witkowski entered the residence looking for prescription drugs.
    
His preliminary exam has been set for May 15.  If convicted, he could be sentenced to up to 15 years in prison.

Wow, I'm not even an Ishpeming resident but you're comments are a little on the nasty side! Just because you go to the carnival and you see what you would like to call "white trash" that instantly means they're all from Ishpeming??? I'm willing to bet that there were many people at the carnival that were not from Ishpeming, considering that this is the only carnival in the county this year. And if all the people at the carnival were "white trash" this must mean that you are "white trash" too since it sounds like you were walking through the carnival!! I know that all areas are judged by their worst characters, but not everyone in Ishpeming is "white trash", in fact I'm figuring that it's a very small minority of people, you just choose to group everyone into this category because they do not meet your standards!!

Get this Trash out of our city

I can't believe the type of people who have moved to Ishpeming in the last 10 years or so. One walk through the Carnival the other night shows it. We have become the White trash capital of the U.P.
