Carjacker Runs Away Because He Can’t Drive A Stick Shift

May 21, 2013

Deputies say a carjacking in Escambia County came to a quick end because the suspects were unable to drive a stick.

The incident happened near the intersection of North 50th Avenue and Carey Street. The victim said she was driving through the area when she was flagged down by three young white females who were looking for a ride.

The victim stated that as she got out of her vehicle to offer help, an unknown black male approached her from the side and pointed what appeared to be a gun at her. The suspect then told her that this was their vehicle now and jumped into the driver’s seat of the vehicle. The victim ran away and contacted the Sheriff’s Office.

Another individual on a bicycle told the victim that her car was still sitting on Carey Street. The victim later stated that she believes the suspects did not take her vehicle because they could not drive a stick shift.

Arriving deputies soon located two of the females on foot in the area of 49th Avenue and Jackson Street. One of the juveniles told deputies they had jumped into the car with the black male suspect, known by the street name of “Chief Keef”, but that he didn’t know how to drive a stick so he ordered everybody out of the vehicle at which time they fled on foot.

“Chief Keef” is described as a black male with medium length dreads, approximately 5’9” to 6’ tall with a stocky build and a gap between his two front teeth. He is believed to have also been involved in a previous vehicle theft that had taken place near Jackson and “W” Street.

The juveniles were released to the custody of their parents with possible charges forthcoming. Anyone with any information on the identity or whereabouts of “Chief Keef” should contact Crime Stoppers at (850) 433-STOP.

    There is a lesson here: Don’t offer rides to strangers. Nationwide, this is an all too common MO for robbery.

    The real Chief Keef (Keith Cozart) is a 17 yr old rapper from Chicago that has been in constant trouble with the law for a couple of yrs now and was actually arrested this week. Am I the only one that finds it funny that this pcola kid is calling himself Chief Keef and also is in trouble with the law? It must come with the name…or maybe this kid is aspiring to be like the real Chief Keef.

    Not much of a “chief” if he can’t even drive a stick shift car.

    They should be poster children campaigning to stay in school and get an education.

    Not quite out of The Fast and Furious. Nothing like a dumb criminal that can’t drive.
