Arrest made after armed robbery at Saline Subway restaurant
An arrest has been made in Sunday's armed robbery of a Subway restaurant in Washtenaw County, Michigan, police report.
John Fulton, age 59, had an arraignment hearing Monday afternoon at 14A District Court on the following charges: robbery-armed, assault with a dangerous weapon (felonious assault) and weapons-carrying concealed, according to the press release.
Saline Police Department officers were called after a robbery happened about 2 p.m. that day at the Subway at 1010 E. Michigan Ave., Saline. The suspect, who was armed with a knife, had taken an undisclosed amount of cash and drove off in a black Chevrolet Equinox.
Officers used surveillance video to get a photo of the suspect, and posted it on the police department's Facebook page in hopes of getting more information from the public. With the leads about his potential identity and whereabouts, officers from the Saline Police Department, with assistance from Milan Police Department, Washtenaw County Sheriff's Office and Pittsfield Township Police & Fire, located the suspect on Lewis Avenue in the nearby city of Milan.
The suspect was taken into custody without incident, and lodged at the Washtenaw County Jail.
The Washtenaw County Prosecutor's Office then authorized the three felony charges.
A probable cause conference is scheduled for March 6.
"On behalf of the Saline Police Department, we thank our partnering police agencies and Washtenaw County Metro-Dispatch for their professionalism while assisting our agency during this incident," Saline Police Chief Marlene A. Radzik said in the department's press release.

Fact Check: Viral video claiming to show passenger live-streaming from Ahmedabad crash is fake
By News Desk Published on June 12, 2025, 15:58 IST A video circulating on social media claiming to be a Facebook Live recording from inside the Air India AI171 flight that crashed in Ahmedabad has been proven to be fake. The clip, shared by multiple users including one account named Honest Cricket Lover, shows a man recording himself on a flight moments before a crash. The video, captioned as being from the June 12 Ahmedabad plane crash, has garnered significant traction online, stirring emotions and panic. However, fact-checkers and independent sources have confirmed that the video is actually from a previous plane crash in Nepal. The clip was part of an incident involving a Yeti Airlines crash in Pokhara, Nepal, in January 2023, in which a passenger had live-streamed the final moments on Facebook before the aircraft went down. An old video from Nepal is being falsely shared as recent plane crash video from Ahmedabad. Proof: — Youturn English (@Youturn_media) June 12, 2025 Youturn English, a credible fact-checking platform, flagged the misinformation and linked the original sources, confirming that the viral video is not connected to the Air India AI171 crash that occurred in Ahmedabad. Social media users are urged to verify content before sharing, especially in sensitive situations involving loss of life or national concern. Authorities have not released any video footage from inside the actual Air India aircraft that crashed. News desk at

Clip shows fatal shooting in Brazil, not India's Bihar state
"In the era of good governance in Bihar, Pawan Dusadh was shot dead in broad daylight. If this murder took place during the reign of Tejashwi Yadav, every media channel would have said 'lawlessness has returned to Bihar'," reads a Hindi-language Facebook post. The clip, shared with captions raising concerns over public safety in Bihar, shows two people on a motorcycle shooting another person before fleeing the scene. It has been watched over 112,000 times since it was uploaded on May 30. Yadav will lead the state opposition Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) party to challenge the coalition government -- mainly made up of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's Janata Dal (United) party and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) -- in elections in Bihar expected later this year (archived link). Leader of India's largest opposition Congress party Rahul Gandhi has accused Kumar of turning Bihar into the country's "crime capital", while BJP leaders in the state said the RJD was responsible for the increasing crime rate (archived here and here). The footage has circulated with similar claims on Facebook and X. Comments from users suggest they believed the claim to be genuine. "Young people who speak up and raise their voices in Bihar are being murdered in this manner to silence them and spread fear, so that the entire society remains intimidated", reads a comment. Another user wrote, "The common people are not safe at all in Bihar." But the video shows an incident from Brazil, not Bihar. A reverse image search on Google using keyframes found the video was published in a report by Brazilian broadcaster TV Tambau on October 4, 2024 with a headline that reads, "Man is killed on the road while riding a motorcycle in Mandacaru" (archived link). Further keyword searches show Brazilian website O Povo PB published a longer clip on October 8, 2024 showing the same scene from a different angle at the 3:09 mark (archived link). The website identified the victim as 22-year-old Gabriel Junior de Oliveira Medeiros, who was shot dead in the Mandacaru neighbourhood in Joao Pessoa. Images on Google Street View also show that the video was captured along the Avenida Dom Manoel Paiva in the city (archived link). AFP has debunked other false claims related to Yadav here and here.
