Faygo Red Pop Used as Lure in Fatal Saginaw Township Bank Hostage Standoff
- On June 27, 2025, Quinton M. Allen held a female employee captive during a failed robbery at the Mercantile Bank branch located on State Street in Saginaw Township.
- Allen tried to cash a fraudulent check, attacked the employee with a sharp object, and held her inside while police surrounded the bank for almost four hours.
- During negotiations, Allen requested a 24-ounce Faygo Redpop soda, which police delivered by drone to the bank window where he appeared.
- A Michigan State Police Emergency Services Team member fired a fatal sniper shot from a rooftop at about 8:05 p.m., ending the standoff as police ushered the employee outside safely.
- Allen died on scene, making Saginaw County's 15th homicide this year, while the bank remains closed pending investigation and the officer involved is on paid leave.
