Washtenaw County will hunt this man down and punish him to the full extent of the law, but they will give a man that has beat his girlfriend within an inch of her life, or robbed a family at gun point a slap on the wrist and a 2,500 bond! smh...

I'm going to keep an eye out for this guy solely because I want to yell: "Don't move an inch!"

Not that I condone shoplifting, otherwise known as retail fraud...but if a suspect isn't accused of a violent crime, why is it being posted here? There are much more important unsolved cases for Annarbor.com to report on.
