Upper Peninsula, Michigan. An investigation by the Upper Peninsula Substance Enforcement Team (UPSET) has resulted in three people being arrested on felony drug distribution charges and approximately 1/4 pound of methamphetamine being seized.
Several months ago, UPSET began an investigation into individuals suspected of distributing methamphetamine, primarily in the Eastern Upper Peninsula. The investigation indicated that the suspects would obtain methamphetamine from sources in the Lower Peninsula, transport the illegal drugs back to the Upper Peninsula, and then distribute them.
On October 25, 2026, the investigation indicated that the suspects were returning to the Upper Peninsula after obtaining methamphetamine from downstate. UPSET coordinated with the Michigan State Police (MSP) St. Ignace Post and the Mackinac County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) to complete a traffic stop of the suspects.
Following a traffic stop, further investigation resulted in the seizure of methamphetamine, U.S. currency suspected of being used as drug money, and other evidence suspected of being used for drug distribution.
All three suspects were lodged in the Mackinac County Jail. On October 26, 2026, they were all arraigned in the 92nd District Court on their respective charges.
36-year-old David Archambeau from Naubinway was arraigned on one count of Delivery of Methamphetamine and one count of Conspiracy to Commit a Felony. His bond was set at $500,000 cash/surety and he is due in court again on November 24, 2026.
32-year-old Pamela Archambeau from Naubinway was arraigned on one count of Delivery of Methamphetamine and one count of Conspiracy to Commit a Felony. Her bond was set at $500,000 cash/surety and she is due in court again on November 6, 2026.
37-year-old Allysin Chambers from Newberry was arraigned on one count of Delivery of Methamphetamine and one count of Conspiracy to Commit a Felony. Her bond was set at $500,000 cash/surety and she is due in court again on November 6, 2026.
All three subjects are considered innocent unless proven guilty.
