Carjacker Has "Terminal" Stupidity

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



A carjacker led Dallas police on a 40-50 minute pursuit through city streets
and divided highways, ending between a runway and taxiway at Dallas Love
Field.  About 12 police vehicles and one off-duty police vehicle was
involved in the chase.  The suspect, a white or hispanic male (large build),
left the city streets and entered onto airport property, eventually crashing
through a closed gate on the perimeter of the airport.  Both runways were
immediately shut down and six aircraft were advised to hold their current
position.  Eventually the carjacker drove the stolen pickup down a then
active runway and upon reaching the end of the runway, was forced off onto a
grassy medium and finally boxed in.  A felony stop (weapons drawn) was made
on the vehicle, and about 6-8 officers were able to successfully remove the
suspect (lone occupant) from the vehicle, handcuff him and place him in a
patrol vehicle.

This chase started after an attempted traffic stop, and ended on airport
property, resulting in the damage to airport property and interference with
the operation of airport activities.  Obviously many agencies are involved
in this incident (local and government), but who would normally take
immediate jurisdiction over the custody of this individual?  I'm sure the
suspect will be charged with carjacking, felony evading arrest or detention,
damage to airport property, but what charges could be brought against the
suspect reference his entering federal controlled airport property?
