Two Charged in Grosse Pointe Carjacking | Detroit News

Two men, Robert Bates and Skylar Carlisle, are facing 15 felony charges after a violent carjacking attempt in Grosse Pointe Woods where they held a father and daughter at gunpoint, fired shots, crashed a getaway car, and were eventually arrested. The Michigan Attorney General’s Auto Fraud Task Force is pursuing the case, emphasizing zero tolerance for violent carjackings. Both are charged with carjacking, assault with a dangerous weapon, and illegal gun possession—with Bates facing additional counts for fleeing. Bail is set at $500,000 for Bates and $50,000 for Carlisle; if convicted, they could face life in prison. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
