7/15/13 - A South Lyon teen was taken into custody after police say he tried to rob people outside a Walmart store with a pellet gun. According to the Oakland County Sheriffâs Office, three people were walking into the Lyon Township Walmart near the Milford Road exit on I-96 when the 17-year-old suspect approached them. They say the teen, later identified as Jonathan Dahl, produced a handgun and demanded money, which he said was to pay off a drug debt. They say Dahl claimed the people who were owed the money would shoot up his neighborhood with AK-47âs if he did not deliver. Police say one of the victims convinced Dahl that they would go inside, get cash from the ATM, and bring it back outside. They say he agreed and waited outside the store while the three people went inside and called the police. A short foot chase ensued when the officers arrived, but Dahl was taken into custody. A CO2 pistol was recovered at the scene. Dahl was arraigned Friday on three counts of armed robbery and given a $250,000 cash bond. (TD/JK)
