The Detroit News and the Detroit Free Press reported the manwas arrested Tuesday at the Wayne County Community College District campus in Taylor while in a class where students learn how to remove vehicle ignitions.

Wayne County Sheriff Warren Evans said the man apparently sold parts of stolen vehicles. He was jailed after being arraigned Wednesday on armed robbery and carjacking charges in connection with a Dec. 28 carjacking in Detroit.

A sheriff's department spokesman said Saturday an investigation is ongoing, and he didn't know whether the man had a lawyer.
