ROSCOMMON COUNTY, MI. Kyle Roginson, 41, was arrested following a traffic stop on M-55 near Old27 in Roscommon Township on August 4.
At approximately 6:45 p.m., troopers from the Michigan State Police (MSP) Houghton Lake Post
responded to US127 near Snowbowl Road for a report of a reckless driver. The preliminary investigation
indicated that Roginson struck a kayak being hauled by another vehicle and continued driving without
stopping to report the crash.
While traveling south on Harrison Road, troopers observed the suspect vehicle traveling north in the
southbound lane, heading directly toward them. Troopers accelerated and maneuvered around the
vehicle to avoid a collision. As the suspect vehicle continued south on Harrison Road, troopers observed
three vehicles pulled over to avoid being struck.
Troopers activated their emergency lights and sirens and caught up to the vehicle at the intersection of S.
Harrison Road and W. Houghton Lake Drive, where they conducted a traffic stop. Based on the events
leading up to the traffic stop and the troopers’ roadside investigation, they believed that Roginson was
impaired.
Roginson was arrested and lodged at the Roscommon County Jail without incident.
Roginson was arraigned on August 7 in the 82nd District Court in Roscommon County on the following
charges:
Count One: Operating While Intoxicated Second Offense Notice
Count Two: Reckless Driving
Count Three: Failure to Stop at a Scene of an Accident
Roginson was given a $100,000 cash or surety bond or 10% bond. His next court appearance is August
12 at 9:00 a.m.
“We are thankful no one was injured during this incident,” said Lt. Ashley Miller. “There are options
available to get you home safely. Make the right choice and don’t drive impaired.”
