CAR JACKING from page 1 T
the request via CPD radio and directed
units to assist.
According to the incident report, the
Mustang wrecked into a tree at the
corner of Summerville and Sumter
streets. The report says the three young
men ran from the area and the driver
was apprehended a short time later at
Summerville and Cardinal streets.
Carl Stokes, director of law
enforcement and safety, said the
investigation continues as the USCPD
A-I-- A- /?_ J AT Al __A_
ines 10 una me omer suspects.
"Mainly, we've got to rely on the one
(the juvenile) we've got," Stokes said.
The juvenile who was arrested was
charged with carjacking, assault with
intent to kill, carrying a firearm acjjacent
to a college building, possession of a
pistol (while being) under 21 years of
age and unlawful possession of a pistol,
according to the police report. The report
says he was transported to Richland
County Detention Center.
Stokes said USC has not had a car
jacking in the 16 years he's been here.
"I don't anticipate any of this
happening again," Stokes said.
If students ever encounter someone
in a parking lot who has a weapon and
wants their car, Stokes said they should,
"Be as nice and friendly and cooperative
as you can. Thaf s the proper reaction
- to try and be cooperative as you can
and let the police catch them later."
Stokes said, "The most important
thing is to save your life."
Four found
with guns
in Russell
House lot
CECE VON KOtNfTZ News Editor
In the same parking lot where a USC
student's car was stolen at gunpioint,
in a separate incident, four young men
were arrested for illegal gun possession
Tony Jones, 17, Paul Jackson, 24,
Douglas Smith, 20, and John Wallace,
17, were arrested after they left the
parking lot between the Russell House
and Thomas Cooper Library.
Carl Stokes, director of law
enforcement and safety, said the fact
that a carjacking occurred and four
young men were found in possession of
guns, happened on the same night (Aug.
7) and each incident began in the same
parking lot, within hours of each other,
is "coincidental."
Stokes said, "We look at the
information and the evidence to see if
there's any tie-in. The only tie-in would
be if they knew each other."
Stokes said a connection is unlikely
because the young men who were charged
with gun possession were in jail when
the carjacking occurred.
