Michigan Self-Defense: CPL holder thwarts armed robbery attempt, police say :: 05/22/2017
YPSILANTI, MI - A man with a concealed handgun thwarted an attempted armed robbery on the evening of Saturday, May 20 in Ypsilanti, police say.
Officials were called at 11:55 p.m. Saturday to the 200 block of North Normal Street for the incident, according to the Ypsilanti Police Department.
A 62-year-old man reported that another person - identified by police as a 54-year-old man - approached him and attempted to rob him, police said.
Police believe the 54-year-old demanded that the 62-year-old empty his pockets or he would be shot, said Ypsilanti police Lt. Deric Gress. The 54-year-old had his hand partially in a pocket at the time, Gress said, and it's believed he was implying he had a gun.
The 62-year-old man, however, was licensed to carry a concealed weapon and pulled out his own handgun, Gress said. He pointed it at the suspect, who fled.
The suspect in the robbery was arrested in the 300 block of Worden Street after a short foot chase, Gress said. He is lodged at the Washtenaw County Jail and is expected to be arraigned Monday.
