CANTON TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) — Western Wayne County authorities say a gun-toting Comerica Bank customer foiled an attempted robbery.
Fifty-three-year-old Joseph Webster of Washtenaw County was arraigned Tuesday in 35th District Court on bank robbery, armed robbery and habitual offender charges, which can bring up to life imprisonment.
Canton Township police tell WXYZ-TV and The Ann Arbor News Webster pretended to have a bomb Monday and demanded a teller give him money. A co-worker alerted Nabil Fawzi, who has a concealed-weapon permit. Fawzi held Webster at gunpoint until police arrived.
