Man accused of using hammer to rob restaurant

ALPINE TOWNSHIP, Mich. -- A Grand Rapids man has been charged with armed robbery. Police say the weapon was a hammer.

Gordon Leathers, 51, was arrested shortly after the robbery of a Subway sandwich shop, which happened about 8 p.m. Sunday.

His preliminary hearing is set for January 16.

The Kent County Jail's Web site showed Leathers had not posted a $20,000 bond as of Tuesday. The site did not indicate whether he had a lawyer.
