BY MIKE MARTINDALE THE DETROIT NEWS 2 COMMENTS
Pontiac — An 18-year-old Shelby Township man is in custody after allegedly attempting to rob a store with a propane torch and was later beaten by the baseball bat-wielding clerk.
Deputies were dispatched to an In & Out Party Store in the 600 block of University about 10:40 p.m. Wednesday where a clerk said a man, armed with a propane torch and lighter, had robbed the store
The victim said after handing over cash he grabbed a baseball bat and followed the man out of the store and smashed the suspect's car, windows and man several times and demanded the money back. The suspect handed over the case and sped off.
The suspect's father later called the Oakland County Sheriff's Office to report his son had been "jumped in Pontiac and forced to rob" the store. The suspect was picked up at his home and taken to a hospital for treatment, his car impounded.
