Flint parolee charged in Oakland County pharmacy heists
A 27-year-old Flint parolee is in custody and has been charged in a series of pharmacy armed robberies in Oakland County.
Marcel Marquaveon Hinkle was arrested Feb. 4 by the FBI Oakland County Violent Crimes Task Force following a multi-agency investigation of similar drug store holdups since January. Hinkle was paroled in November for serving a partial prison sentence for armed robbery.
According to investigators Hinkle is believed the man responsible for armed robberies which occurred in several communities in Oakland and Genesee counties, between Jan. 19-31.
“I am extremely proud of the team effort of all the agencies involved to bring this clearly dangerous serial armed robber to justice,” said Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard. “Hopefully, this time, he will stay behind bars and not threaten the public again.”
