(AP) -- ROSCOMMON, Mich. (AP) - A member of a Roscommon County hunting club is accused of threatening state Department of Natural Resources investigators posing as hunters. The 48-year-old Bay County man is expected to be arraigned Nov. 30 on assault and hunter harassment charges in Roscommon District Court, about 165 miles northwest of Detroit.

The DNR said Monday two of its detectives went undercover following complaints from people hunting on state land that they were being threatened. The agency says a man threatened to kill the detectives for being on what he considered his land.

Conservation officers later arrested the man, who also was charged with failing to wear hunter orange during firearm deer season and using an improper tree stand.
