The man said he stopped the teenage culprits, who were visiting students from Divine Child High School in Dearborn, and held them until the police arrived.
When DPS officers questioned the thieves, two of the students were discovered with the candy, while the other dropped her candy after the caller stopped the children.
The officer later made contact with the children's group leader and advised her of the incident. The three were turned over to the group leader and released, DPS reports said.
The Power Center management did not wish to press charges.
DPS officers halted the incident and checked the records of the subjects. The record of the 16-year-old female was reported with warrants and wants for her arrest. The subject was a Wayne County Prison escapee on two separate occasions, but her custody was transferred to the supervision of Arbor Heights.
When Arbor Heights checked on the girl's status, they learned from her place of employment, Burger King, that she was late returning to work from her break.
The two subjects denied that intercourse occurred, saying that they were only kissing. The case remains open pending further investigation and the possibility of seeking charges for contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
The caller, who tried to calm the man down as he talked to the DPS dispatcher, said the man did not have any weapons on him at the time.
DPS units responded and the subject requested an escort to University Hospitals Psychiatric Emergency Room. The man was voluntarily committed and a report was filed.
The caller said the man and woman were hitting each other. No weapons were involved, DPS reports stated.
DPS officers broke up the incident and secured the area. The fight was reported to be about homework. Both parties were separated. No report was filed.
The driver said his frosty windows caused the mishap. He was cited for driving with an obstructed windshield, DPS reports state.
The female was transported to University Hospitals for treatment.
