Northern Michigan sheriff says threats have been made against utility workers trying to restore power

The sheriff of Presque Isle County, Michigan, issued a warning via a social media video Thursday to anyone threatening utility line crews who are trying to restore power in his community. 
It’s been nearly two weeks since Northern Lower Michigan was hit with an ice storm – breaking utility poles and trees, pulling power lines down and blocking roads. 
And thousands of customers across several counties still have no electricity. 
Presque Isle County Sheriff Joseph Brewbaker directly addressed his community with a video update posted Thursday. 
“Folks, this storm was compared to a category 5 hurricane. And no one could have prepared us for the amount of devastation that hit our area,” he said.
