Columbus police have charged two young men in connection with the $150 robbery of a man on 12th Street in September.

Michael William Bush, 20, and a 16-year-old were taken into custody Thursday and charged with robbery. Bush also is charged with possession of a firearm or knife during the commission of a crime. Bush is held in the Muscogee County Jail for a 9 a.m. hearing Saturday in Recorder’s Court. The juvenile, who is charged as an adult, is held in another facility for a 9 a.m. hearing on March 23.

Both are accused of robbing a man of $150 about 10:20 p.m. Sept. 28 in the 1600 block of 12th Street. Police were called to the Wendy’s at 1707 Wynnton Road after the man was robbed at gunpoint.
