Tucson Mayor Jonathan Rothschild was carjacked at gunpoint in midtown Saturday morning.
Shortly before 11 a.m., the mayor was leaving his home when he was greeted by a man holding a pistol, who demanded to know where his car was parked, Rothschild told the Star.
Rothschild said that he pointed to his city-owned Toyota Prius and the man demanded he hand over the keys.
The mayor complied, and the carjacker left the scene in the Prius.
Rothschild, who did not have a security detail with him, was not injured and says he's doing fine.
At about 7 p.m. Saturday, police said the car had been recovered, but provided no other updates. The carjacker is still at large, said Tucson Police Department spokesman, Sgt. Pete Dugan.
Robbery detectives with the Tucson Police Department are investigating the incident and have learned that prior to his run-in with the mayor, which happened in the area of North Tucson Boulevard and East 5th Street, the suspect unsuccessfully tried to take another car, Dugan said.
He also had a "small altercation" with a mail carrier before his confrontation with the mayor, leading police to believe that he wasn't targeting Rothschild, Dugan said. . .

Good for the local taxpayer: they got the city’s car back.
Is Tucson going bankrupt yet? Guess what, Tucson, now you may be funding 24 hour security for your mayor. Enjoy your “undocumented immigrants”!
Is Tucson a sanctuary city?
Isn’t the Tucson city government anti gun.
I read the entire article and not one word was written about the perp. No description; nothing.
Apparently he was carjacked by the invisible man swaddled head to toe, one would think they didn’t want the perp caught or who residents should take extra care around.
When my brother had his van stolen and stripped in Maricopa County, he was told that as long as the vehicle is recovered within three days, which it was, the most they could charge anybody with is “joyriding”. I imagine that in liberal Pima county that time limit is probably about three months.
Tucson is a naive liberal place that harbors satanic illegal aliens. i promise you this was a Mexican illegal alien that viciously assaulted this POC mayor. Tonight the mayor is washing his underwear. Kate Stienly is dead!!
Was he Swedish?
Tin foil but bet this was a warning from Soros.
Soros connections and direct funding:
Tucson, AZ city of Tuscon
Global Alliance for Justice, Tucson, AZ, parent of Refuse Fascism (Soros)
ActBlue Civic - a clearing house for Democrat party funds who receive money from directly from George Soros Global Alliance for Justice, Tucson, AZ
the perp gave up the Prius real quick - not the best ‘get-away’ car, and his buds would howl if they heard on the police scanner that he was ‘escaping’ in a Prius...
Is he a former democrat now?
[Was he Swedish?]
According to the Associated Press story: “No detailed suspect description is available, including whether suspect is an adult.’
Which city isn’t a naive liberal place, among all of the world’s cities? It’s, like, talking about illegal immigrants who aren’t criminals=no such thing!
The Mayor was smart.....didn’t give the thief the windup key.
Super shocker:
When you have ALL Mexicans around you, MEXICAN STUFF HAPPENS..!
Why does San Fran’s Mission District have the same per capita incidence as MeHico..?
Cuz they’re all freaking Mexicans, there..!
AMERICA CONTAINS **ANOTHER COUNTRY** INSIDE IT, SEE...?
Oh, the joy....it’s only just beginning.
meant to type:
Why does San Fran’s Mission District have the same per capita incidence OF TUBERCULOSIS as MeHico..?
So on Saturday morning, the mayor was going to go for a cruise, without his security detail, in his cute little city owned Prius.
Why would someone who drives around in a Prius need a security detail?
Elections have consequences...
