Oakland County deputies issue warning to stay off ice

OAKLAND COUNTY, Mich. (FOX 2) - Oakland County deputies are reminding people that it is too warm to venture out on ice after responding to multiple calls Wednesday.

According to authorities, they received a call at 3:48 p.m. about two men who fell through ice in the 300 block of N. Conklin Road in Orion Township. 

When deputies arrived, they found that the men, a 71-year-old from Pontiac and a 69-year-old from Lake Orion, had gotten out of the water on their own. The men told deputies that they were walking on the ice to go fishing. They refused medical treatment.

Later that day, at 5:35 p.m., deputies were called to the 3000 block Deer Springs Lane in Oakland Township after a caller reported that a woman was jumping on ice, trying to break it.

They were told to stay off the ice and go home.
