LUCE COUNTY -- Two motorcyclists are facing charges after being pursued by authorities in the eastern Upper Peninsula.
According to the Michigan State Police, it began on M-28, east of Newberry, when the cyclists were being pursued by a DNR conservation officer.
One pulled over and was arrested just north of Trout Lake.
That person is currently jailed in Luce County.
The other continued to drive down M-123, and went into Mackinac County.
There, deputies from the sheriff's department and State Police troopers continued the pursuit.
The motorcyclist drove off the road and into a swampy area near the I-75 and M-123 area.
Shortly after that, he turned himself in to officers.
He was lodged in the Mackinac County Jail.
Names have not been released pending arraignment.
