Waterford police: Suspect in deadly carjacking in custody

WATERFORD TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) - Police in southeastern Michigan say a woman suspected of stealing a 76-year-old man's pickup truck and then running him over, killing him, is in custody.

Waterford Township police say the carjacking happened at a Burger King restaurant around 11 a.m. Sunday.

A statement from police says that a 38-year-old Walled Lake woman stole the truck in a strong-arm robbery. When the victim, Clifford Van Haywald, tried to stop her, she ran him over before fleeing the scene.

Police said late Sunday night that the woman was taken into custody without incident in the Walled Lake area and was being held at the Oakland County jail. The Associated Press is not naming her because she has not been formally charged.

Waterford Township is about 30 miles northwest of Detroit.
