CRYSTAL FALLS, MI - A Michigan sheriff's deputy may face criminal charges for allegedly taking a Michigan State Police car on a joy ride after drinking several beers.

According to a report attained by the Iron Mountain Daily News, Iron County Sheriff's deputy Anthony Juventino Silva. 25, allegedly took the squad car for a 2-mile ride through Iron River with two passengers on March 8.

The car had been parked at Northland Automotive and Powersports in Iron River for repairs, according to the U.P. newspaper.

The Daily News report says special prosecutor Matt Wiese of Marquette County will decide sometime this week whether charges will be sought against Silva, who reportedly had consumed three to four beers in a two-hour span before the incident.
