A third and final suspect has been charged in the armed robbery of a Brandon Township man on Thanksgiving Eve.
Annmarie Elizabeth Hanna, 17, of Burton, was arraigned Jan. 7 in 52-2 District Court on a charge of armed robbery. Bond was set at $100,000, no 10 percent, and she remains in the Oakland County Jail.
Hanna was arrested at her mother’s home in Burton Wednesday by officers from the Burton Police Department. She had been avoiding apprehension for more than a week.
According to police reports, Brandon deputies responded to Eagle Pointe Plaza, located at M-15 and Glass Road, shortly after 6 p.m., Nov. 26. The 41-year-old victim was at China Fare Restaurant, 1764 Ortonville Road, to pick up a carry-out order. He noticed two young-looking black males in the parking lot, but didn’t think much of it. As he returned to his vehicle and was closing the door, he noticed one of the two individuals he’d seen approaching. The man shoved a gun into the victim’s face and demanded money. In fear for his life, he gave the suspect his wallet, which contained $100 in cash, and also his cell phone.
A responding deputy saw one of the suspects, later identified as Corey Deandre Shaw, a 19-year-old Pontiac Northern High School student, running eastbound across M-15, south of Glass Road. As the deputy approached him and ordered him to the ground, Shaw began making unsolicited statements, saying he didn’t have a gun and ‘didn’t rob that guy.?
Shaw had the victim’s wallet, but told deputies the other suspect, later identified as Isiah Jamal Brent, 17, of Detroit, had dropped it and he planned to return it to the victim.
Police investigation led to Hanna, who falsely accused another teen of the crime. She later confessed to her mother that she conspired with her boyfriend, Shaw, and Brent to commit the armed robbery and drove the getaway vehicle. The mother called police to turn her daughter in.
Shaw was arraigned on a count of armed robbery on Nov. 28. He remains in Oakland County Jail on a $250,000 bond, no 10 percent.
Brent was arraigned on a charge of armed robbery on Dec. 29. Bond was set at $500,000, no 10 percent.
A preliminary exam for Hanna is set for 8:30 a.m., Jan. 15, in front of 52-2 District Court Judge Kelley Kostin.
