A man and woman who robbed a Brandon Township man at gunpoint on Thankgiving Eve will serve prison time.
On April 27, Corey Deandre Shaw, 19, of Pontiac, was sentenced to 51 months to 30 years in prison by Sixth Judicial Circuit Court Judge Denise K. Langford Morris and Annmarie Elizabeth Hanna, 17, of Burton, was sentenced to 27 months to 20 years in prison by Judge John J. McDonald. Isiah Jamal Brent, 17, of Detroit, pleaded no contest to unarmed robbery in the case and will be sentenced on May 11.
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 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 Shaw, a 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 Brent 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.
