NEGAUNEE — Stephen Olsen, of Negaunee Township, says he didn’t pause to consider how he should react when he saw a sheriff’s deputy grappling with a man in a ditch while hauling firewood along M-35 the afternoon of April 21. Capt. Anthony Smolinski was attempting to apprehend a suspect in a larceny at the M&G Party Store on Highway U.S. 41. Smolinski had located the suspect on the road near the Negaunee Township Hall. He had him down but he couldn’t collar him, said Olsen who jumped from his truck and asked the deputy if he needed help. He and Smolinski then handcuffed the subject and placed him in the patrol car. Marquette County Sheriff Joe Maino presented the outstanding citizen award to Olsen for preventing the situation from escalating.
