6/7/13 - Two suspects are in custody following an alleged carjacking in Milford, but the alleged theft was not as random as it first appeared. At about 5:40am on Tuesday, a man entered the Milford Township Police Department to report that he had been carjacked by two men at gunpoint. A disturbance complaint then came in from the same general area, leading officers to arrest 33-year-old Neal Pollman of Novi as one of the suspects in the carjacking. The vehicle was found a short time later, having been intentionally crashed into a tree. The other suspect was not found. Police say an investigation revealed that the carjacking was not random. They say the alleged victim had met the two suspects at a designated location to sell them LSD. They say the carjackers had no intention of paying for the drugs, and stole the victimâs car at gunpoint. Witness interviews led the police to arrest 22-year-old Nathaniel Ashbrook of Hartland Township as the other carjacker. He has been charged with armed robbery, possession of a firearm while committing a felony and unlawful driving away a vehicle. Pollman faces a single count of armed robbery. Both are being held on $20,000 bonds and police say additional charges may be brought against the victim at a later date. (TD/JM)
