Mancelona Man Arrested For Robbing TC Target Store

By Beth Milligan | July 7, 2022

A 38-year-old Mancelona man was arrested Wednesday after robbing the Target store at the Grand Traverse Mall in Traverse City.

At approximately 3:30pm, the suspect came into Target and gave a cashier a five-dollar bill, asking for change. The man then told the cashier to "stay calm and give me all the money." The cashier complied, with the suspect then fleeing the store on foot. Target staff called 911 to report the robbery, and Grand Traverse Sheriff's Office deputies responded to the store.

Central Dispatch then received a call from a woman on Rennie Street who said a suspicious man had asked her for medical attention, saying he thought he was having a cardiac episode. Believing the man could be the robbery suspect, dispatchers advised deputies to go to the scene. The man was identified as the robbery subject and taken into custody.

The suspect was taken to Munson Medical Center for treatment, with law enforcement accompanying emergency medical personnel. No weapon was observed or implied during the incident, according to authorities.
