Anthony Galloway, 42, faces charges including grand theft, burglary
New details were released Tuesday about the arrest of a carjacking suspect out of Daytona Beach — including how he was attacked by pit bulls after fleeing from the crime scene, according to the Volusia Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies said Anthony Galloway, 42, ditched a car he had stolen during a carjacking at a BP gas station on Monday morning and started banging on the door of a unit at the Whispering Winds Apartments complex while screaming “Momma.” ged to force his way through the door, knocking her backward and slamming the door shut behind him, deputies said.
According to a news release, when the woman realized Galloway was a stranger, she commanded her two pit bulls to attack him.
“He had his hands up, hollering, “Momma, momma! Help me!’ I’m like, ‘I am not your momma. What are you? What!?’” said Marie Gilbert, who lives in the apartment. “I’m like, ‘Oh, I don’t know you. Get him, girls!’”
Gilbert explained that one of the dogs latched onto Galloway’s arm and the other on his hip. Once law enforcement arrived, they asked her to call her dogs away.
“(The dogs) grabbed him here, and the officers came in, and once they came in, they asked me to call the dogs off,” she said. “And once I called the dogs off, he got up from here, and he ran here and jumped out of my kitchen window.”
The gun that investigators believe was used in the carjacking was also recovered from a different apartment complex along Brentwood Drive, where a 7-year-old boy discovered it on Monday afternoon, investigators said.
The sheriff’s office said the boy’s mother reported her son had accidentally fired the handgun, shooting an unoccupied apartment.
According to deputies, Galloway was seen running into a warehouse along Mason Avenue, where SWAT units ultimately arrested him after around an hour of trying to persuade him to surrender.
Galloway faces charges of armed carjacking, armed robbery, grand theft, possession of a firearm, resisting an officer without violence, burglary with battery, criminal mischief and battery. He is held without bond.
Court documents show Galloway also faces charges related to a convenience store robbery in Daytona Beach on Monday, those being robbery with a firearm, possession of a firearm during commission of a felony and possession of a weapon by a felon. The documents allege Galloway was one of two men who demanded money from a cashier at gunpoint hours before the carjacking.
He also had active warrants out of Lake County on theft charges and Orange County for violation of probation on prior charges of fleeing from law enforcement, deputies said.
According to the sheriff’s office, Galloway’s criminal history includes 67 prior felony charges with 12 convictions and 25 previous misdemeanor charges with 22 convictions. Those charges include 13 counts of grand theft, three counts of aggravated assault with intent to kill, aggravated battery on law enforcement, burglary with battery, armed robbery, aggravated fleeing, child cruelty and narcotics offenses.

How the H*LL was this guy even out on the streets??????????????????
“Get him, girls!’”

Good job, girls!
He is a Democrat.
The police asked her to call off the dogs, then let the culprit jump out the window?
I saw a picture of the cops arresting him...Now I know why he was still on the streets...
I saw the cops chasing a guy once. The guy jumped over a fence to get away. Little did he know that on the other side of the fence were two German Shepherd dogs. Needless to say, they chewed-him-a-new-ass! He jumped back over the fence but the cops didn’t arrest him. He had terrible bites on his buttocks. So, the cops called him an ambulance and let him go!

Why is this guy out on the streets? If you or I did even a sliver of these crimes, we'd never see the light of day.
Dude needs serious prison time because next time instead of sic-cing the girls on stupid, “Momma” might have to sic Monsieurs Smith & Wesson on his ass!
12 Felony Convictions!
Simply heartwarming.
Reading this man's rap sheet, why is he even on the street? The government says we don't need weapons, the government will protect us and take care of us. How's that working out?
An outrage.
Good dogs.
Best story of the year on the crime front. Yay doggos!
Throw the dogs a bone.
He’s out on the streets because he’s a black criminal. Now if he were a white Jan 6 election protester it would be a different story.
EXACTLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They had a whole bunch of bones, but he got away.
