5/12/13 - The Brighton-area man charged in connection with two robberies has been bound over to circuit court for trial. 34-year-old David Rentsch is accused of robbing the 7-11 store at Grand River and Pleasant Valley Road in Green Oak Township on March 15th, then robbing the BP gas station on Grand River in Brighton three days later. On May 8th he was bound over to circuit court for trial in the 7-11 robbery, where he is charged with armed robbery as a 4th time habitual offender. He had already been bound over in the BP robbery, for which he is scheduled for trial on Monday for the same charges. In both instances, police allege that Rentsch walked in to the business, displayed a handgun, demanded money, and then fled after receiving an undetermined amount of cash. He was originally taken into custody after the BP robbery, when police spotted him near the BECC building. (TD)
