Fite extradited to Michigan

HALEYVILLE    - A Michigan man, who has become very familiar with local law enforcement over the past few years was arrested Feb. 13, as a fugitive from justice.
Ryan Justin Fite, 29, who lists a Haleyville address, was held without bond in the Winston County Jail until Tuesday, Feb. 21, when he was  picked up by the Charlevoix County, Michigan Sheriff’s Office on a felony warrant of unauthorized use of a motor vehicle stemming from an incident in 2022 when Fite allegedly stole a white bus in Michigan and drove it to Haleyville.
In order for local officials to hold him in jail locally,  paperwork was required stating that Fite was a fugitive from justice in order to  extradite him to another state, Eward explained.

Law enforcement have described Fite’s alleged behavior as a nuisance, including reports of him trespassing onto private property and causing alarm, according to law enforcement.
“Not abiding by the law, not staying away from people’s houses he has been told to stay away from,” Winston County Sheriff’s Office Chief Deputy Jacob Eward detailed as some of the reasons Fite’s behavior has been so problematic.
“I am glad Michigan came to get him,” he continued. “Hopefully, he will serve some time up there and hopefully we’ll be done with him for a while.”
