Pickell Gets The Point on Lake Fenton
Eagle's Point, as some have called it, is a peninsula on the south side of Lake Fenton. This area of the lake has been growing in popularity for people to tie up and enjoy all that Lake Fenton has to offer since the breaking up of "Pig Beach" on the north end of the lake. Genesee County Sheriff Robert J. Pickell and his crew have been patrolling the area this summer to help ensure boater safety and compliance with the local laws and ordinances. FentonSays.com made mention of the law enforcement coverage of Eagle's Point over the 4th of July. We appreciate the comments of our readership base.
And now for your viewing pleasure, video footage of Eagle's Point on Lake Fenton:

Lake Fenton: Pontoon Tie-Ups and Police
All looked peaceful on this 4th of July out on Lake Fenton. And the county sheriff department wanted it to stay that way. With as many as a half a dozen patrol cars and a transport van, the men in brown (not your UPS delivery guys) hung out with boaters tied up at Eagle Point, keeping the peace all day long.Seen here on the left side of the photo under the tiki-hut bar on the far end of the peninsula near the south end of Lake Fenton, officers of the law stay cool in the shade. This area of the lake has been growing in popularity for people to tie up and enjoy all that Lake Fenton has to offer since the breaking up of "Pig Beach" on the north end of the lake.
Between the hours of 1:00 PM and 8:00 PM, police deputies arrested four women for public nudity and a man for drinking. Three others were ticketed for various offenses. "We had our van, our paddy wagon, parked on the road nearby," Genesee County Sheriff Robert J. Pickell said about how the department handled those arrested from the boats. "Then we took them to jail."
