"When officers placed [the suspect] under arrest, they observed that he was sweating profusely and was twitching and blinking his eyes rapidly," the department said in a Facebook post. He was charged with carjacking and violation of parole, The latter of those charges is not eligible for bail and as of Wednesday morning Smith remained at the a detention center in San Bernardino.
Tesla please move your manufacturing plant to Texas a red state run by great politicians! Put the money in your pocket and not wasting it on California taxes! Pelosi and Governor care nothing about your business
Did the suspect have a gun? If not, how could he have made the driver get out of the car? Maybe the window was open and he had a knife? Unclear.
