Police say a Republican state lawmaker from northern Michigan was arrested early Thursday in Lansing. Rep. Neil Friske's family operates a popular fruit orchard near Charlevoix. He was arrested in the capital around 3 a.m. There was no immediate comment from Friske's office. The reason for his arrest wasn’t immediately disclosed. The Ingham County prosecutor says he's awaiting a formal report from police. Friske, who is running for reelection, has a conservative voting record during his first term in the House.
