• possession of cocaine;
• possession of heroin;
• possession of LSD;

“Deputies recovered four long guns, one shot gun, three handguns, suspected cocaine, LSD, heroin, and marijuana during the original investigation,” Cole said. Burgos has a criminal history in Florida’s Monroe County, according to a Google search.
Burgos has been arraigned and is currently lodged in the Mason County Jail on a $500,000 cash bond.
“The 35-year-old man has been transported to Blodgett Hospital in Grand Rapids where his condition is unknown at this time,” the Sheriff said.
“As a result of the above investigation, on Thursday, March 9, 2017 at 5:55 p.m., deputies conducted a traffic stop on the southbound US 31 on-ramp from US 10. As a result of that traffic stop, a 28-year-old Free Soil man was arrested on charges of:

A 23-year-old man from Hialeah, Florida was arrested for marijuana possession. During the traffic stop, deputies recovered two handguns, Cole said. He has not yet been arraigned.
