MASON COUNTY, Mich. - A man was arrested Monday afternoon after police found him acting "extremely bizarre" in a parking lot in Northern Michigan.
WPBN reports police were called to an BP Gas Station in Scottville (just East of Ludington), Michigan, for a man walking around the parking lot covered in blood and sitting in a car that did not belong to him.
Police arrived and found the man in the car. When they approached, the 62-year-old man rushed at them, screaming and began trying to attack the deputies.
The man, identified as Roy Purple, was arrested for the attempted attack. Witnesses described Purple as extremely intoxicated. The blood was from a deer that was hit by a car.

If you draw a line almost due east about 35 miles of where this incident occurred and you'll find my home. I will be there again permanently in about two years.
Anyway, I am not so sure about the bigger trucks. The southerners down here still seem to have some large vehicles.
Not so many deer this year up here. Not sure why. Abundant turkeys however.
We have a couple years before my wife can retire. Then we go home for good.
We spent six weeks back home this past summer and the deer were all over our yard and property. They would even stroll down the street in front of our house to take an easy shortcut to get to another place in the woods. Saw a mama bear and cubs on our property just south of the village and cougar tracks. My best friend was on his property adjoining mine in a camper and a cougar walked out of the woods and stared at him and his friends who were sitting around the campfire. I don't go hunting or even walking without my 44 Magnum pistol or a carbine over my shoulder.
When I was a kid we would spend the entire day playing in those woods. There were no bear or any other predators in Northern Michigan. Now they are everywhere.
