Man on Washtenaw County's 'Most Wanted' list faces armed robbery, home invasion charges
A 21-year-old Ypsilanti man on Washtenaw County’s “Most Wanted” list who was taken into custody last week now faces charges in several home invasions earlier this year.
Troy Anderson Lewis is charged with armed robbery, assaulting and resisting an officer, and three counts of first-degree home invasion.

Lewis fled from his vehicle after he encountered deputies in the Sycamore Meadows apartment complex around noon and was taken into custody after a short chase, Jackson said.
Authorities sought Lewis in connection with a March home invasion in the 100 block of Riley Court in Ypsilanti Township. Police said he and an accomplice forced their way into the home and hit the resident with a gun that then discharged. The pair fled with cash.
Police said they believe Lewis was involved in another home invasion in January.
Jackson said Lewis’ charges will be grouped into two court hearings, the first on Aug. 9.

Really Paula? Please elaborate on the exception made for UM grad students, who aren't named even after conviction: <a href="http://www.annarbor.com/news/u-m-graduate-student-whose-plan-helped-catch-a-thief-to-be-honored-for-his-effort/?plckFindCommentKey=CommentKey:bce51ea0-ba10-4521-8713-458d1906c84a">http://www.annarbor.com/news/u-m-graduate-student-whose-plan-helped-catch-a-thief-to-be-honored-for-his-effort/?plckFindCommentKey=CommentKey:bce51ea0-ba10-4521-8713-458d1906c84a</a>

The rules change? How about the facts change. The article has a public list. It's called the most wanted therefore the name does not need to be with heldto protect the innocent until proven guilty.

Good job WCSD, Lewis resisting Police? Make sure he gets what he deserves, certainly more than a slap on the wrist.

If they told you the rules, eyeheart, they would have to kill you. But alert readers quickly discern that the rules fluctuate. Some folks in charge of ruling by decree on the suitability of the comments, for example, would not recognize irony if it came with flashing neon lights.

See there, you printed his name, and the earth didn't tilt off it's axis. Still leaves the question unanswered though from last week. What is the policy on this?

Our practice is to name people who are charged with crimes. That typically means at arraignment, but can involve an individual who's the subject of a signed warrant - but not in custody.
