A Florida man recently released from jail is back behind bars after surveillance footage from a gas station allegedly showed him carjacking a woman pumping fuel into her vehicle.

Andrew McClellan, 31, was booked into the Volusia County Jail Thursday on multiple charges, including vehicle grand theft and battery on a law enforcement officer. The charges stem from a incident in Orange County, where McClellan stole an SUV from a woman pumping gas at a Mobil station in Apopka.

...

By the time she noticed what was happening, he was inside the car and attempting to drive off.

...

the woman was likely targeted "because she was isolated."

...

McClellan was arrested by Daytona Beach police a few hours later when officers spotted the stolen vehicle.

...

McClellan initially resisted arrest. Once detained and inside a patrol vehicle, he allegedly maneuvered his handcuffs to the front of his body then rushed officers when the car door was opened, pushing one of them and causing him to lose his balance.

Officers struck McClellan three times to gain compliance, FOX 35 reported, and used a "hobble" to tie his ankles together before placing him in a prisoner transport vehicle. Inside that vehicle, he allegedly moved the "hobble" up to his neck and attempted to tighten it.

...

At the time of the carjacking, McClellan had not even experienced a full week out of jail. He was released on Sept. 29 after Orange County deputies arrested him at the end of August in connection with the burglary of two separate businesses ..

He was released from jail on his own recognizance after Bain's office did not file formal charges in the second case by his 33rd day in jail, which is required in Florida,

They need to be angry the most at the people who keep letting these people out.

Nothing will have a hope of changing until the people adcoczting these policies are dealt with first.

Situational awareness= zero.

Fat chick just gotta have her cell phone.

Saw a vid a few days ago of a attempted carjacking in the same setting.

Guy hosed down two actors with gasoline and then inside the van/support vehicle as it drove away.

I try to teach women that they ARE armed when pumping gasoline.

But if you have that cell phone stuck to your ear…

From what I hear, the two Albertans that were killed by the grizzly last week were in their tent.

I trust that somebody is keeping a log of these events, where a freshly released habitual criminal assaults/rapes/carjacks/murders someone. Seems like it’s 2-3 times a day now. In six months it’ll take two hands to lift the printout for NYC alone.

Seems like an incident like that should only happen once, anywhere.
Once it is known, it should never happen again. The technology exists to prevent such actions.

DO NOT OWN A CELL PHONE.

DO OWN A 65#+++ ROTTWEILER who loves car rides.

HIS NICKNAME IS ROAD TRIP

The car makers are also partly responsible-—They need to put ALL gas filling openings on ONLY the driver’s side of the vehicle.
