MONROE (WIZO) — If you are going to commit an armed robbery, you should make sure you keep all forms of identity with you and not at the scene of the crime.
Michigan State Police say a suspect in the robbery of a gas station Saturday failed to remember that simple task. The Woodhaven man came into the business to buy cigarettes but the clerk needed to see identification.
The suspect pulled out his wallet and placed it on the counter when an accomplice armed with a handgun came in and demanded money. The clerk handed the first man the cash and both fled leaving the wallet on the counter for police.
Both men were arrested later in the day.
