Suspect Crashes Stolen Car Minutes Later
WILSON’S MILLS – A 67 year-old woman was robbed at gunpoint and carjacked Friday night. It happened around 7:30pm in the 300 block of Fire Department Road in the Wilson’s Mills city limits.
Police Chief A.Z. Williams said the victim was held at gunpoint by the juvenile suspect who took her purse and vehicle. The suspect immediately fled from the area on the stolen car.
A short time later, Johnston County sheriff’s deputies responded to a suspicious person call about 10 miles away. They located a juvenile walking beside Highway 39 North near Batten Pond Road, north of Selma. The juvenile matched the description of the carjacking suspect and was in possession of one of the items stolen from the victim.
The stolen car was found about 50 yards away from the suspect. The car had been involved in a traffic accident.
The juvenile was charged with robbery with a dangerous weapon by Wilson’s Mills Police and committed to a juvenile detention center in Wake County.
Additionally, the State Highway Patrol filed 10 different traffic-related charges against the suspect.
The 67 year-old victim was not physically injured. The suspect also escaped injury after wrecking the stolen car.
The weapon was not located.
Chief Williams said additional charges are pending.
When are we going to start showing some pictures of these juvenile delinquents in case we see them in the future.We know the courts will never do anything with them!!
When they’re of the majority and not the minority.
I was thinking the same. Hope his mother sees his comments and wakes up, too many punks out there and what happens in the end is three choices, straighten up, prison or dead.
Start with #3 and eliminate the “repeat offender” before the crimes get more violent….
If he has balls big enough to carjack someone & rob her then he has balls big enough to be tried and sentenced as an adult! Burn his butt!
Raise the Age is a failed experiment Super Majority. Do your jobs as legislators and start protecting citizens not criminals.
Always carry.
should be charged as an adult and if he can’t be then his parents should be charged too. He is either responsible as an adult or he’s still a child and his parents are responsible for him.
WHY do we have to protect his or her name? Because of age?? LOL they want to act like adults they should be treated like adults! Post little juveniles names both street and birth names, parents too, not that the parent would care, they too busy smoking & collectin.
He has a lot of guts and absolutely not sense. Careful next time little boy ….some of us old ladies be packing..mess around and fine out. We too old for little gangsta bs. You did an adult crime. You grown you think…. Then take it like man. I said what I said..
It’s time to start removing the protections as a “minor” and base the information released based on the severity of the crime. Petty shoplifting, ringing doorbells and running, fireworks not necessary to release name or image. Any crime committed with a gun, armed robbery, armed car jacking, assault with a deadly weapon? Oh yea. The public has a right to know who in their community is dangerous. Maybe we should release the name and image of the parent as well.
Stupid actions get stupid prizes. He should be treated as an adult in court.
That’s right !
This is so sickening and sad ! I’m so scared of guns but this makes me want to get on when this happened in my neighborhood!
Get a can of wasp spray and keep it under your driver seat or the driver door. Works just like pepper spray but sprays a stream 15-25 feet. It’s oily and hard to get off. Burns the eyes, nose, and mouth just like pepper spray.
No respect for authority. No respect for their elders. No respect for life, liberty, or happiness.
Just selfishness, entitlement, and evil.
Folks – arm yourselves (legally, of course) so that you can defend yourselves against the ever-growing population of evil-doers in our county.
Our tax dollars are being spent to arrest criminals and just let them go. The system is broken. All the way around. A compilation of poor decisions that, when pooled together, create huge problems for law-abiding citizens.
I sure hope this kid isn’t allowed to go back to public school! Kids like this are the problem. The reason teachers leave and the reason good kids leave.
Not only is this person allowed to go back to school, the admin and lib teachers will treat them like a victim of society. Tell them how good they are and how it’s not their fault. All the while being a threat to the “safe and orderly” environment of the school.
Sadly, you are correct. That was our youngest child’s experience. Talk about making the real victim feel like they don’t matter. It has taken 2 years!!!! 2 years, and my child is better, but NOT who he was before that repeat offender!!!
Cops are doing their job, but the Defense Attorneys, district Attorneys, and Judges are all making backroom agreements, and the Cops have no voice in this. I have been in Law Enforcement for many years, and we once had a voice in the Criminal Justice system but are now treated as just witnesses. It is a shame!!
TRUER WORDS HAVE NEVER BEEN SPOKEN… ADAS AND LAWYERS AND JUDGES ARE ALL OUT TO CLOSE OUT CASES AND DON’T CARE ABOUT VICTIMS OR THE EFFECT ON THE COMMUNITY.. STAY SAFE AND WATCH YOUR SIX!
Trump was right: he is doing well with the youth, especially young criminals.
