A typical night of business ended badly at in Dearborn on Tuesday, according to reports.
Police were called to the bar at 4025 Maple just after 10 p.m. Tuesday for report of an armed robbery that had just occurred.
Employees of the bar told police that three men wearing ski masks–two with handguns, one with a rifle–walked in and told everyone to get on the ground. One man, holding an AK-47, told the bartender to open the safe and Keno drawer and place them on the bar. One of the other men grabbed the money–around $3,000 in cash–and placed it in a blue pillowcase.
