Cab driver implicated in December robbery of passenger

January 22, 2015

Lansing resident Brandon Deval McLittle is facing charges of armed robbery causing serious injury, unlawful imprisonment, conspiracy to commit armed robbery and armed robbery dating back to Dec. 9, according to a statement from MSU Police.

The charges stem from an incident last December in which two men entered the cab he was driving and robbed the passenger.

McLittle was previously interviewed by police saying that two men entered his cab while he was stopped in a parking lot after having been given wrong directions.

The first man put a gun to his head and told him to drive while a second suspect assaulted and robbed his backseat passenger.

MSU police Sgt. Florene McGlothian-Taylor said that the case was still under investigation and could not give more information at this time. She did not say how police connected McLittle to the robbery of his own cab.

McLittle was arrested Wednesday and is being held at the Ingham County Jail without bond.

His pre-trial appearance is scheduled for 8:30 a.m. Jan. 30 and his preliminary examination is scheduled for 9 a.m. Feb. 5.

The two suspects originally sought after by police are still at large.
