An Eastern Michigan University student set up another student to be robbed at gunpoint in a car Tuesday morning, Ypsilanti police said.
The suspect, who is from Brownstown, is one of two people under arrest in the case. A Romulus man also was arrested.
Both of the 18-year-old men are scheduled to be arraigned Thursday, police said. Charges have not yet been authorized.
The 18-year-old victim told police he was in a car with another student he knows when a masked gunman got inside at Ballard and West Cross streets about 12:30 a.m., police said.
The victim reported they were forced to drive to two ATMs in the city to withdraw $300 cash for the masked man, police said.
They dropped off the masked man at East Washtenaw Avenue and North Hewitt Road, police said.
At the time, the victim thought the other student was being robbed. The investigation determined the other student helped plan the robbery, police said.
