Armed Robbery
Washtenaw County Sheriff’s deputies were dispatched by 911 for an armed robbery at 9:30 p.m. Tuesday on the 1100 block of Ecorse Road in Ypsilanti Township.

Police said a male approached the register, pointed a hand gun at the cashier demanding money and cigarettes. The suspect left the store and headed east.

Van Buren’s Police K9 was called to the scene for assistance in tracking the suspect. The track led police to the 1100 block of Tyler, where police think the suspect possibly got into an unknown vehicle.

The cashier, a 26-year-old Ypsilanti Township, resident was uninjured.

The suspect is described as a 6-foot-tall black male weighing 200 pounds. Police said he has short, “un-kept” hair and was wearing a black medium-length leather coat and black pants. He was wearing a black bandana around his face during the robbery, and there is no video surveillance from the incident.

Marijuana possession
A deputy discovered marijuana on a driver of a traffic stop conducted at 9:30 a.m. Tuesday on Macarthur near Harris in Superior Township.

The 26-year-old Superior Township resident was arrested and transported to the Washtenaw County Jail. The report will be forwarded to the prosecutor.
