A man who allegedly robbed a bank in Lathrup Village was arrested today after he drove into a circle driveway in front of the Southfield municipal complex — where the Southfield Police Department is located.
Southfield police said they arrested the 24-year-old Detroit man, who had been carrying a loaded handgun.
Southfield Lt. Nick Loussia said the man robbed the Chase bank at 11 Mile and Southfield roads and then drove away, heading the wrong way on the eastbound I-696 service drive. Loussia was heading back from lunch when he heard a call about the robbery come over the radio. Then, as he drove east on the service drive he saw a “silver Monte Carlo flying right at me.”
He said the Monte Carlo clipped a patrol car on Evergreen. Loussia said the man then made his way to Central Park Boulevard and onto Civic Center Drive, which crosses Evergreen and ends at Southfield’s municipal complex.
The man pulled into the circle drive outside of the complex’s front entrance and police cars blocked him in, Loussia said.
He said the gun was recovered from the car.
