other contents. The victim was
not injured. Suspect was
described by victim and witnesses as a W/M, early 20’s, brown/orange like
hair, a goatee, black hooded sweatshirt, green shorts, and black shoes. Plain-clothes officers responded to
the area and the suspect was located on foot in the subdivision to the north
of the Farmer Jack shopping plaza.
After a brief foot chase through the neighborhood he was captured and
arrested. He had cash, a lottery
ticket, and the victim’s ring, all from the purse, in his pockets. Also
inside his picket was a syringe consistent with narcotics use. He told officers he committed the
crime to get money so he could purchase heroin. A police K-9 unit conducted a track and located the
victim’s purse and the empty money envelope in the field through which the

and made a reaching motion with his hand toward his waistband to reinforce he
had a gun. The teller provided
an undisclosed amount of cash.
The suspect advised her it was not enough and demanded she get
more. She complied and he
exited. As he was leaving the
lobby, apparently he suffered some kind of black-out related to a current
medical condition and fell down inside the lobby between the exit doors to
the lot and entrance doors to the bank.
Two police cars were driving by on routine patrol at the time and
responded with in seconds of the 911 call. The suspect was taken into custody with out incident while

handgun were recovered from the suspect. He was transported to the hospital while in custody,
evaluated, and later released to Troy PD custody. He told officers he is an automotive designer, has been
laid of since November of last year and has been unable to find comparable
employment. As his bills have
been piling up, he began thinking about robbing a bank, and basically got his

resulted in $10,000.00 worth of dairy products stored in one of the trailers
spoiling and being lost.
Complainant suspects the refrigeration unit was tampered with in some
way. Complainant is suspicious
because a Michigan Department of Agriculture Inspector arrived with out
notice on 7/10 and went directly to the trailer in question. He stated the inspection was not
scheduled and it is rare for an inspector to show up with out notice. Complainant later learned the
inspection was triggered by a complaint, which demanded an inspection of the
refrigeration trailers. He
suspects a competitor may be involved somehow, however there was no direct
evidence at the time officer was on site that the trailer was damaged. Complainant had a repair crew on site
trying to determine cause of incident. Lowry, 7/12, 0630 hrs. Officers responded to

child, were in the immediate vicinity of the suspect. He was warned to stop yelling
obscenities and responded he could do whatever he wanted. He advanced on officers and continued
yelling obscenities at them.

Vandalism Prevention
The best way to protect yourself from this crime, or from being held financially
responsible for the acts of your kids, is to know where your children are,
what they are doing, and whom their friends are. Kids are very tech-savvy, and use the latest means to
communicate. We have had
numerous cases where middle and high-school aged kids have made clandestine
plans using their home computer and instant-messaging programs (AIM, Yahoo
Messenger, etc.) to communicate with their friends, unbeknownst to their
parents (no phones ringing in the middle of the night.) They sneak out of the house and meet
up to go and commit all sorts of crimes. This is not only illegal, but it is very dangerous. ·
Talk with your kids and encourage
them to tell you about any problems with other kids. ·
Monitor your child’s instant
messages. ·
Don’t put computers with Internet
access in their bedrooms. ·
Lock the doors to the house and set
alarms when you go to bed. ·
Make a habit of checking on the
kids, no matter what age, in the middle of the night, just to make sure they
are where they are supposed to be (especially when hosting sleepovers.) Let them know that you are checking. ·
Check your vehicles for new damage
or signs of being involved in vandalism - Mud on tires or wheel-wells,
baseball bats with gouges or glass in them, egg cartons, knives or other sharp
objects that are out of place in a car, cans of spray paint or shaving cream
(yes shaving cream and eggs damage paint.) If you
suspect that your kids have been out vandalizing property, or committing any
other crimes, you can contact the Police Department Juvenile Unit, or Troy
Youth Assistance for advice. Juvenile Unit – 248-524-3451 Youth
Assistance - 248-823-5095 General If you witness a crime: Ø

Never leave
a vehicle unattended while running. Ø
There is a
trend of things being stolen from vehicles in the parking lots of fitness centers
and fun centers. While going to these places, be extra careful to remove all
items of value and secure your vehicle. |
