Another attempted carjacking has gone south because the perpetrator hasn&#8217;t been able to make heads or tails of a manual transmission.<\/p>\n<p>This comes via an arrest report released by the Orange County Sheriff&#8217;s Office of Florida\u2014not California, where they revealed the new Chevrolet Corvette last night. According to the report, an unidentified senior was loading his walker into the trunk of his Honda this past Tuesday when he was approached by 25-year-old Jaylen Alexander, who allegedly tried to slam the trunk on the elderly man. Alexander then hopped into the driver&#8217;s seat of the running car to make his escape, but was unable to operate the Honda&#8217;s manual transmission. He reportedly stalled the car a number of times before fleeing on foot.<\/p>\n<p>When police responded, the senior indicated the direction in which Alexander fled, which matched up with the area from which a vehicle was stolen shortly thereafter. Law enforcement intercepted said stolen vehicle, detaining its driver, whom the unnamed senior identified as the same man who assaulted him. Alexander was jailed on charges of grand theft, carjacking, and battery on a person over 65 years of age.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>0 \/ 1 \/ 0<br \/>\nHat tip to Poetrooper for the link.
