Man charged with multiple armed robberies at Eastpointe business

Macomb County authorities say criminal charges have been filed against a 47-year-old Clinton Township man in connection with multiple armed robberies at an Eastpointe business.  

It is alleged that on Friday, Dec. 5, Anthony Terrell Patterson entered an Eastpointe business with five employees and two customers present. 

Patterson displayed a handgun and forced the employees and customers to lie on the ground.  Patterson then allegedly robbed each employee and customer of their money and took a driver’s license and a debit card. Patterson then fled the business on foot. He was later arrested.

Patterson was arraigned last week in the 38th District Court in Eastpointe on the following charges:

• Seven Counts of Armed Robbery, each a felony punishable up to life or any term of years.

• Eight Counts of Felony Firearm, each a felony punishable with a mandatory minimum (2) two years, consecutive with and to other sentences.

• One Count for Carrying a Concealed Weapon, a felony punishable up to five (5) years

• One Count for Possessing a Firearm as a Prohibited Person, a felony punishable up to five (5) years

These are the maximum charges available under the law based upon the evidence presented to date; more charges may be brought against Patterson.

Makoski set no bond for Patterson and he was immediately remanded into custody. A probable cause hearing is scheduled for Jan. 6.
