Two men have been convicted of multiple felonies related to a robbery at a cannabis dispensary in Warren that occurred last year. One of the convicted individuals was employed at the dispensary during the time of the crime.

Lavall Perkins, 64, from Detroit, and Michael Graham, 48, from Eastpointe, were both found guilty by a jury of assault with intent to murder, conspiracy to commit armed robbery, and armed robbery. The charges stem from an incident in June 2023, when the two stole a safe from the Bring Me A Bag dispensary.

The crime took place on June 9th, when Perkins, along with an unidentified accomplice, created a disturbance outside the dispensary. The unidentified accomplice fired shots through the glass door of the business, hitting a victim. After unlocking the door, the assailant fired again as the victim attempted to retreat. Following the attack, both the accomplice and Perkins entered the dispensary and stole a safe before fleeing the scene in a Chevrolet Tahoe.

Graham, who was behind the wheel of the getaway vehicle, was employed at the dispensary at the time of the robbery.

The convictions came after an eight-day trial, during which the jury weighed the evidence and testimonies presented.

"These convictions underscore our community's commitment to holding violent offenders accountable," said Macomb County Prosecutor Peter Lucido. "The jury's decision reflects the compelling evidence and the bravery of the victims who testified. We hope this verdict offers some closure to those impacted by this senseless act of violence."
