A man who police believe robbed a Trenton 7-Eleven at gun point at about 12:50 a.m. Tuesday was arraigned on multiple charges the same day.
Andrew James Farmer was arraigned Tuesday before Judge Jennifer Coleman Hesson of the 33rd District Court in Woodhaven. Coleman Hesson set Farmer's cash bond at $25,000.
A preliminary examination of the evidence was scheduled for 9 a.m. Dec. 18 at the 33rd District Court.
Farmer is charged with one count of armed robbery, one count of felony firearm and one count of assault, resisting arrest and obstruction of a police officer, which are all felonies.
Farmer allegedly entered the 7-Eleven at 1901 King Road, pointed a hand gun at an employee, demanded money and ran out the door. He was arrested by officers of the Trenton Police Department shortly after the alleged crime was committed.

Police said they found a loaded hand gun and cash believed to be stolen during the robbery on Farmer at the time of his arrest.
Sgt. Mark Enright said officers did a fantastic job and no one was hurt despite the potential for danger due to the use of a loaded gun in the robbery.
"The heroic efforts of our police officers to protect the citizens of Trenton is unparalleled," Trenton Police Chief Jim Nardone said. "It's a great catch by a great bunch of police officers."

He has money to post bond yet hes out robing? Is this the same loser that tried to get Ron? They should charge him with both.

If Ron were not such a nice guy, that "PUNK" would most likely be dead.

Ron should've shot him and sent a message because this is not the first time he's been robbed.

Desperate people do desperate things. Who knows what this person was thinking or why he did it. Yes, he should be punished for his crime but, not by being shot or killed..you people don't even know if this is the same person that robbed this "Ron."

Desperate is no excuse, and Who gives a flyin' fart what he was thinking, or why he did it. He stuck a gun in someones face and threatened to kill them for money. You say he needs to be punished, but not shot or killed. So what do you suggest, life in prison? Ok, granted. NOW, you work your life away to support, house, clothe, & feed him for the rest of his life or the rest of your life, whichever comes first. OH, and make sure he has Cable & Smokes there in the joint, we would'nt want him to be unhappy or uncomfortable. Is he still your friend?? He ain't mine... AN EYE FOR AN EYE, BABY...

First off I'm not your baby Mr. Dave Huggins and no ones trying to be friends with anyone here. Secondly,why is death the answer? It wouldn't be sending anyone any kind of message. Save the wishes for death for the people who actually kill someone. He's young and dumb and needs help..thats why he should do time not be killed or shot and I'm pretty sure he won't get life in prison for this crime.

WTF, what were you his getaway driver??? Not sending a message??? Thats a pretty strong message if you ask me. Do something stupid and risk someone else's life and you might die for your efforts, that's a pretty strong message... just makes ya' want to go rob a store now... DON'T IT.

I didn't say " kill", but shooting his leg on the way out of the store would've been sweet. I don't think Mr. Robber would be running out of any store after that. AND I don't think anyone around here who knows Ron would be saying " OH KNOW MR. ROBBER WAS SHOT, POOR FELLA" Give me a break Ms. Asshley. Sounds like you know the loser.
