3 arraigned in robberies of fast-food eateries (Detroit TSA Officer)

Elgin E. Taylor and Reginald O. Jones, both 23, and Quantrez R. Sawyer, 30, each were charged with four counts of armed robbery in the holdup April 9 at the White Castle and the robbery Wednesday at McDonald’s, officials said. The men were arraigned in Roseville’s 39th District Court, where preliminary hearings are set for April 28.

Roseville police said detectives received information that Sawyer is employed by the Transportation Security Administration.

The TSA issued a statement this afternoon, saying it was aware of the arrest and “will take appropriate action as necessary. The individual has been removed from screening passengers and property.”

Police said detectives are working with area departments regarding the other fast-food eatery holdups, which have occurred since March 26 in Fraser, Warren, Clinton Township and Southfield. Police said the robbers used a gun as they demanded money from the restaurants’ safes or registers. They tied up some employees, while others reported the men wore surgical gloves.

Why can't Obama find anyone to head the TSA?

Because an honest person won't take the job.

6. I'm very familiar with Muskegon.

It died after the Vietnam war ended and the tank engine plant closed, but there are still those spots there.

My cousin lives near Flint. His parent company went bankrupt 4 years ago and his branch died with it. He can't get anything other than a part-time janitorial job. He was a manager with a degree from MSU and has always been a hard worker. I hear his stories about what goes on in Flint.

Sorry to offend.

7. "Because an honest person won't take the job."
DC is full of politicians. He could find someone. If he's holding out for someone 'honest' in the 'IN' DC environment, he'll be looking until he's nothing but bones and spiderwebs and still won't be able to fill that position.
