Mount Clemens, MI - Macomb County Prosecutor Peter J. Lucido announced that Armand Saroli, a 52-year-old Sterling Heights man charged with bank robbery, was bound over to the Macomb County Circuit Court after his Preliminary Exam.
On Thursday, Oct. 2, 2025, a Preliminary Exam was conducted by Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Erica Clute-Cubbin at the 41A District Court in Sterling Heights, MI before Judge Annemarie M. Lepore. After the hearing, Judge Lepore bound Saroli over to the Macomb County Circuit Court on a charge of bank robbery, a felony with a penalty of life or any term of years imprisonment. He also has a Habitual Offender - Fourth Offense Notice, which is an aggravating sentencing factor.
Saroli will be arraigned at the Macomb County Circuit Court before Judge Joseph Toia on Thursday, Oct. 16, 2025, at 8:30 a.m. He is held at the Macomb County Jail with a $750,000 cash/surety bond.
It is alleged that July 23, 2025, at approximately 1:28 pm, Saroli entered a bank located in Sterling Heights and approached a teller. He presented a note to the teller demanding money. The teller gave Saroli the money demanded, and then he fled the bank. Saroli was later captured by the police.
“Bank robbery is a serious and violent crime that endangers not only the employees and customers inside the bank, but also the entire community. We take crimes of this nature very seriously and will pursue this case with the diligence it deserves," said Macomb County Prosecutor Peter J. Lucido.
The Macomb County Prosecutor’s office represents the people. We are committed to achieving justice and following the laws of the State of Michigan. All that are accused of a crime are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
