TROY, Mich. – A 14-year-old boy was arrested for robbing a Troy liquor store after his mother called police to say she’d found him with a “large sum of money” that he shouldn’t have had.
Officers were called at 5:38 p.m. March 29 to the Capitol Wine and Liquor store on Rochester Road. A worker told them that a boy had approached her and demanded she “empty the register,” according to police.
