Norway Township assault under investigation

NORWAY TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WLUC) - An assault in Dickinson County remains under investigation.

The MSP Iron Mountain Post says it began investigating an assault on April 1. It happened in Norway Township.

The MSP says it has released limited information to preserve the integrity of the case. Investigators say they are aware of the growing public interest in the assault.

Descriptions and a GoFundMe page have been posted and shared widely on social media. TV6 is aware of online posts about the assault but has chosen not to share those unconfirmed details at this time. The MSP reminds everyone to be cautious about what you read and share on social media.

“The investigation remains active and ongoing. Troopers are investigating leads and conducting an investigation like they would anything else,” said Lt. Jeremy Hauswirth, MSP Iron Mountain Post Commander. “Be careful with any online information you see, or would be tempted to pass on.”

Hauswirth says anyone with direct factual information is encouraged to call the MSP Iron Mountain Post at 906-774-2122.

TV6 has requested a comment from the attorney for the victim of the reported assault, but that attorney has not responded.
