ADRIAN - A 36-year-old Lenawee County man was in the Lenawee County jail last night on a pair of armed robbery charges involving an Adrian gas station last month.

Bond was set at $1 million for William Young.

In addition to the armed robbery charges, Mr. Young has been charged with a pair of firearms counts and one count of larceny in a building.

Authorities allege that Mr. Young robbed the Citgo on South Main Street on April 5 and April 15. Each time, Mr. Young allegedly took an undisclosed amount of cash and ran away.

Mr. Young was arrested April 20 in Toledo after Adrian police received a tip that he was hiding there.
