According to police, 18-year-old Marquel Williams, of Detroit, was arraigned on one count of armed robbery & one count of carjacking in relation to the incident.

Police say the suspect approached a man and female, both in their 20s, as they were leaving the Planet Fitness on John R. at about 10 p.m. on Sept. 12.
