EASTVALE - A carjacker on parole was arrested Thursday after one of his victims followed him until deputies arrived.
Riverside County sheriff's deputies from the Jurupa Valley station responded at 7:35 p.m. to a robbery call in a parking lot of a business in the 12600 block of Limonite Avenue, according to a sheriff's news release.
Deputies got additional information that the suspect used a gun during the incident and that a wallet and cell phone were taken.
The victim continued to talk to dispatch to inform them he was following the suspect who was driving a stolen vehicle.
Deputies caught up to the suspect after a short pursuit in Ontario.
After the suspect was arrested, deputies learned that he approached both victims armed with a handgun and demanded money and credit cards.
He then drove from the scene in one of the victim's cars, according to the release.
Mandaz Johnson, 39, of Apple Valley was arrested on suspicion of robbery, carjacking and a parole violation. He was booked into Robert Presley Detention Center.
Ooops. This is Southern California.
Confine him to a pig farm.
Isn’t he kind of old for that profession? The odds aren’t really with the car jacker in the long run.
“Mandaz Johnson, age 39”
He could still be pitching for the Dodgers at that age.
