Reports from Ann Arbor are saying that the Ann Arbor Police Department are looking for a suspect who allegedly robbed a Biggby Coffee location on Stadium Blvd. This happened in the middle of the day, and luckily nobody was injured.
Taken this from a former Michigan prosecutor's prospective, if a suspect is arrested, they could charged with one of many robbery crimes, which could be Armed Robbery, Unarmed Robbery, Assault with Intent to Rob and Steal While Being Armed, and a number of other possibilities. It's quite possible they could be charged with a number of these offenses in order to gain leverage when negotiating a possible plea deal.
The highest of these charges is Michigan Armed Robbery, which requires the prosecution to prove that the use of force or violence or an assault was used against another in the course of committing a larceny, while the defendant is either armed with a dangerous weapon or an article is used to lead the person to reasonably believe the defendant is armed with a dangerous weapon. This offense carries a possible life sentence.
