Drunk driver sent to prison

From staff reports Traverse City Record-Eagle The Record Eagle Wed Mar 20, 2013, 07:14 AM EDT

TRAVERSE CITY — A man will spend 16 to 24 months in prison after a drunken joy ride through Suttons Bay ended with him assaulting an emergency medical technician.

Marcell William Schocko, 20, was sentenced Tuesday in 13th Circuit Court for assaulting, resisting and obstructing a police officer and operating while intoxicated.

Police clocked Schocko driving 105 mph in the village on Dec. 7. He crashed the car in a wooded area along M-22.

Schocko was pulled from the vehicle, then assaulted an emergency medical technician, police said.

He was previously convicted of aggravated assault and home invasion for separate incidents in 2010.
