Some GOOD news to report in one of the robbed delivery driver cases

Two Ypsianti teenagers were arrested yesterday after using a cell phone to call in a bogus pizza delivery to an abandoned home on Buffalo street. The delivery driver pulled up and the teens approached him and said they had ordered the pizza but couldn't pay. When the delivery driver turned to leave they jumped him and beat him, one of the teens had a handgun as well.

Police traced the phone call made for the delivery to it's owner, and his 17 year old son was arrested yesterday. The 17 year old is in the County lockup while his 16 year old accomplice is in the Junior Disneyland Hotel.

Hey, Brian Mackie's office, we're WATCHING you on this one. How serious are you about ridding us of such trash? Again, we're watching and will hold you accountable for how the 17 year old is charged.

Send a STRONG message.

Hey Johnny, see how out of control today's teens are when they are plotting criminal activites instead of being productive members of society??
I feel sorry for that delivery guy and GLAD they traced the phone call back to the juvenile's dad.

Some of those properties in that neighborhood have real potential. News like this is not going to help things. I hope the young offenders are severely dealt with and made an example of to any other joker that thinks this is the way to act.

I played my share of pranks as a kid, none involved armed robbery or assault on a person.

I plead guilty to tossing eggs and tomatoes at cars and driving around with the windows down asking people for directions they spraying them in the face with whipped cream.

Whipped cream is a lot tastier than a bullet me thinks

Please attribute your information. I read this first on the Ann Arbor News site. If you got it from there, aren't you supposed to give them credit? And if you talked to the police yourself, shouldn't you say so?

I may be just a student, but I've learned that journalists and bloggers are supposed to name their sources.

Well thank you for posting anonymous. It's funny, you can find dozens upon dozens of instances here when I use verbatim quotes from the Ann Arbor News, of linking back and or mentioning them. I merely relay news, interpret news and comment on news.

One day in your classes they'll explain the recent court rulings on bloggers and how they differ from news organizations. Did they cover the blogger/Associated Press dust up this week in which the AP was pretty much handed it's ass when trying to limit the number of words bloggers could use? It's funny because if they want to fight it, the AP could wind up paying bloggers like Daily Kos and Michelle Malkin hundreds of thousands for using material taken right from them.
