2/25/13 - A trial date has been set for a Fenton man charged in connection with an armed robbery at a gas station last month. 23-year-old Michael Joseph Craig is charged with armed robbery and a separate count of using a firearm while committing a felony. A May 14th trial date is now set on Genesee County Circuit Court. Fenton Police say Craig robbed the Clark gas station on North Leroy Street January 23rd and fled the area. Officers and a K-9 unit were able to establish a track and canvassed the area, which led them to a home on North East Street. While a perimeter was being set up, police say a detective noticed a subject attempting to escape out a back bedroom window and a handgun was observed. A short standoff followed and Craig eventually surrendered. Fenton Police say the weapon, stolen cash and other evidence were later recovered at the residence. (JK)
