GOGEBIC COUNTY - The last of seven people arrested in a 2024 drug-trafficking investigation in Gogebic County, and Iron Counties, is scheduled for sentencing.

Daniel Hecht pleaded guilty to possession of methamphetamine after a delivery-and-manufacture charge was dismissed. Hecht missed a January court hearing, resulting in a bench warrant that remained active until September. His sentencing is set for November 12 at 2:30 p.m. The other six defendants have all been sentenced, with prison terms ranging from 10 months in jail and probation to 13 to 30 years in prison.

UPPER MICHIGAN - Michigan’s archery deer season is underway with changes this year for bow hunters, including a new electronic tagging option.  Hunters can now use electronic tags through the Michigan DNR mobile app instead of traditional paper tags. Deer hunters are required to report their harvest within 72 hours or before transferring possession of the deer (to another person, a processer or taxidermist).  Hunters must also continue to attach a paper kill tag to a harvested deer.  The DNR says deer herds will likely decline after a near record-setting snowfall this past winter.  Archery deer season runs through Nov. 14 and reopens Dec. 1 through Jan. 1, 2027.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The Republican nominee for Wisconsin governor has raised more than $26 million during the past two months, with $24 million-plus coming from just three people. It's given Tom Tiffany, a congressman who's back by President Donald Trump, a big cash advantage over Democrat David Crowley in the tight race. The bulk of Tiffany’s money came from Diane Hendricks, Richard and Liz Uihlein. Hendricks owns a Wisconsin company that sells roofing and building supplies. The Uihleins own Wisconsin-based Uline Corporation, which sells boxes and other shipping supplies. The large donations are allowed under a 2015 state law.
