Quick Response Nabs 2 Robbery Suspects Quick response and alertness by deputies of the Menominee Sheriff Department on Monday, July 13, resulted in the capture of two men suspected of armed bar robbery in Marinette.
Taken into custody were Patrick Scotty Erickson, 20, 2117 13th Ave., Menominee, Mich., and George Jeffery Jardeen, 18, W6353 G12 Road, Stephenson, Mich. Charges of armed robbery were filed against the pair on Tuesday, July 14, by the office of the Marinette County District Attorney. Arrests warrants were also issued by Marinette County Circuit Court Judge Tim Duket.
Erickson and Jardeen are currently being held in the Menominee County Jail awaiting extradition to Marinette County. Both are under $100,000 bond.
According to the complaint, Erickson is alleged to have robbed the Back-A-Gan Bar, 2212 Hall Ave., Marinette while armed about 3 p.m. Monday, July 13. Taken was $3,100 in cash from Christine Graves who was tending bar at the time. The money was later recovered.
Jardeen is charged with being a party to a crime as he was allegedly the driver of a silver colored Chevrolet pickup truck that was stopped a short time later by authorities at the Bridgeview Apartments, 1802 8th Ave., Menominee, Mich., when Erickson jumped out and fled to nearby woods near the Interstate Bridge.
According to the complaint, Erickson entered the bar wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt with the hood over his head, shorts, goggles and gloves. He then fled out the back door on foot.
City of Marinette officers interviewed Jardeen at the Menominee County Jail about 6:35 p.m. Monday, July 13. According to the complaint, Jardeen admitted dropping off Erickson behind the bar.
He told authorities he saw Erickson walking about 1:30 p.m. on 13th St. in Menominee and stopped his vehicle to talk to him. Erickson got into the pickup truck and they went for a ride. Erickson then told Jardeen to go to a residence in Menominee. While he stayed in the vehicle, Erickson went inside the residence and returned with a gray sweatshirt and jacket. He then told Jardeen to go to Marinette for a ride and gave him direction. Enroute, Erickson put on a pair of ski-type goggles.
When asked by authorities what he thought Erickson was going to do, Jardeen believed Erickson was going to rob something. He then pulled up behind the bar and Car Quest Store and Erickson got out walking towards the bar at which point he left, according to the complaint.
At this point, Jardeen said he left and drove around the City of Marinette. He went back onto the Interstate Bridge and observed Erickson running towards him with his hands up. Erickson got into the pickup truck and told Jardeen to go and get out of here, according to the complaint.
Menominee Sheriff Kenny Marks reported at 3:23 p.m. the armed masked robbery of the Back-A-Gan Bar, 2212 Hall Ave., Marinette, was reported by Marinette County. The Menominee County Central Dispatch communicated a description of the suspect vehicle to area authorities. The vehicle had been seen by witnesses fleeing from Marinette into Menominee near the Hattie St. Bridge.
At 3:30 p.m. a Menominee County sheriff deputy saw the suspect vehicle moving southbound on 19th St., near 10th Ave. in Menominee. The deputy followed the vehicle and requested backup. The vehicle then stopped in the parking lot at the Bridgeview Apartments, 1802 8th Ave, and a passenger, Erickson, fled on foot into the nearby wooded area towards the Interstate Bridge. The driver, Jardeen, was taken into custody.
Another deputy on the Interstate Bridge saw the fleeing passenger on foot and ordered him to the ground. Instead, the suspect fled into the swamp carrying a white plastic bag. Cash money was seen on the ground along the trail.
Deputies and Menominee City Police established a perimeter in the area which was also supported by officers of the Marinette Police Department and deputies from the Marinette County Sheriff Department and a K-9 from Michigan State Police.
At 4:03 p.m. authorities and the K-9 tracked the suspect into the swamp. Erickson was found hiding in the swamp grass and taken into custody at 4:07 p.m.
The Marinette Police Department reported a masked man, Erickson, came into the Back-A-Gan Bar robbery, demanded money and left with an undisclosed amount of money. Both Erickson and Jardeen are in custody in the Menominee County Jail and are persons of interest in a number of recent crimes in Marinette and Menominee, Mich.
Authorities in Menominee are also investigating the robbery of the Holiday Station Store, 1051 10th Ave., Menominee. A man walked into the station at 1:15 a.m. Monday and held up the clerk. He got away with $167 in cash.
