A 57-year-old Ypsilanti man was charged Thursday with breaking into a downtown Ypsilanti business and attacking the owner's son, who was working late.
Alfred Allen Wright was arraigned from the Washtenaw County Jail on charges of unarmed robbery, breaking and entering a building with intent and assaulting or resisting a police officer.
Ypsilanti police were called to Angel Food Catering at 12:26 a.m. Feb 26 after receiving reports of a break-in suspect punched an employee in the face before fleeing.
Drew Maynard, 22, was working in the kitchen when the suspect broke in, said his father, who owns of the business. After a brief physical altercation, the man fled and Drew Maynard called police, who arrested Wright 15 minutes later three blocks away.
Wright remains in jail on a 10 percent of $1,000 bond. A preliminary examination was set for March 12.
