Six people from Detroit were charged over an alleged armed robbery at a marijuana facility in Warren.[1] The six were arraigned on 15 October 2026 before Judge Steven Bieda of the 37th District Court in Warren.[2] Each faces armed robbery and conspiracy to commit armed robbery, which are punishable by up to life in prison on conviction.[1] Bond was set at $500,000 cash or surety for each defendant, with a steel-cuff GPS tether required if bond is posted.[2]
At about 2:43 a.m. on 14 October 2026, Warren police were dispatched to the commercial property after an alarm was triggered.[2] The group allegedly arrived in a U-Haul truck and a Chevrolet Camaro, threatened an on-site guard with a firearm, took the guard’s weapon and forced entry into the building.[1] Officers met both vehicles as they allegedly tried to escape, the Camaro struck a patrol vehicle and two suspects were arrested.[2] The U-Haul fled south on Van Dyke Avenue until tire-deflation devices stopped it near 11 Mile Road, and four people who ran on foot near Van Dyke and Lantz Street in Detroit were captured.[2] Police said a search of the U-Haul uncovered more than 200 pounds of stolen marijuana, about 90.7 kg, plus other evidence linked to the alleged robbery.[2]
The defendants were identified as Marcellus Huntley, 59, Maya Mitchell, 24, Joshua Dykes, 33, Kyle Turner, 38, James Claybrooks-Wells, 32, and Aaron Marshall, 24.[3] Pleas of not guilty were entered at the arraignment.[3] All six are scheduled for a probable cause conference on 29 October 2026.[2]
