Two men are locked up after prosecutors say they forced their way into a Warren apartment last Wednesday, robbed a man at gunpoint, and hit him with a handgun during the holdup. Dwayne Lewis, 29, of Detroit, and Davon Loveings, 35, of Pittsburgh, Pa., were arraigned on a slate of felony charges and are being held on $1,000,000 bond. A judge also ordered them not to contact the victim and, if bond is posted, to wear GPS steel‑cuff tethers while on pretrial release.
According to ClickOnDetroit, Lewis and Loveings were charged with armed robbery, home invasion, unlawful imprisonment, firearms possession by a prohibited person, carrying a concealed weapon, and four counts of felony firearm. Prosecutors also flagged Loveings with a third‑offense habitual‑offender notice and Lewis with a second‑offense notice. Authorities told the outlet that Lewis faces an additional felony‑firearm count and a fleeing‑from‑police charge. Investigators said officers tracked down a Chevy Malibu tied to the case and took the two into custody after a short chase and attempts to run.
Police Response And Local Enforcement
Warren and Macomb County investigators have recently stepped up enforcement around armed robbery and illegal firearm cases. Last Friday, a multi‑agency sweep in Warren that recovered ghost‑gun parts and conversion devices underscored officials' focus on weapons cases, with police leaning into the message that gun crime will bring fast attention, as per Hoodline.
What “Habitual Offender” Notices Mean
Under Michigan law, habitual‑offender notices let prosecutors seek higher statutory maximums at sentencing when defendants have prior felony convictions. A second‑offense notice can push the maximum to about 1.5 times the usual term, and later notices can increase it further, according to guidance from the Michigan Courts and state statute. Those enhancements only come into play if there is a conviction, and any sentence would ultimately be set by a judge.
The two were arraigned last Friday and are scheduled to return for a probable‑cause conference next Thursday, according to ClickOnDetroit. Both remain jailed on $1,000,000 bond as the investigation and prosecution move forward, and the defendants are presumed innocent unless and until they are proven guilty in court.
