PENNFIELD TOWNSHIP, Mich. — Calhoun County deputies are looking for an armed robber who they say jumped into a St. Joseph County man's car, hit him with a gun, robbed him and stole his car.
The Calhoun County Sheriff’s Office says deputies were called to Sharon Avenue in Pennfield Township at 4:17 p.m. on February 21 for a report of an armed robbery.
When deputies arrived, they say a 26-year-old man from Colon told them he went to the location to meet a woman he had met online.
