HOW MANY CARS JACKED BY BLACKS AT WHAT COST?


D.C. Officials: Attempted Juvenile Carjacker Had 9 Prior Carjacking and Robbery Charges in 5 Weeks

A 13-year-old Washington, DC, juvenile who was shot and killed during an alleged attempted carjacking of a federal officer had nine prior carjacking and robbery charges in a five-week period, District officials said.

The tragic incident is representative of the soaring crime and the District’s bewildered justice system:

  • A total of 760 carjackings occurred in the first ten months of 2023, police data show.
  • Sixty-five percent of those arrested for carjacking are juveniles.
  • U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Matthew Graves, who is responsible for prosecuting those D.C. police arrests, prosecuted only 56 percent of those arrested in 2023.

Police said Vernard Toney Jr. tried to carjack an off-duty federal security officer on October 28 but was killed during the incident. Toney’s death is the second teenager fatality in a five-day span linked to carjackings. On Thursday, police arrested a 15-year-old who tried to steal a vehicle, which ended in a crash and the death of another teenage girl.

Toney and the 15-year-old girl both had prior arrests for carjackings, the Washington Post reported Monday.

Police charged Toney in May after several carjackings, robberies, and assaults in just a five-week period in Southeast Washington, one of the most dangerous neighborhoods in the District and potentially the nation, the Post reported. The District currently ranks at number 173 in safety on a list of 182 American cities, according to a study recently released by WalletHub.

A juvenile court judge recommended in May that Toney receive psychological and educational evaluations. Months later, in August, prosecutors dismissed one charge against him, documents reviewed by the Post show.

The judge also suggested the Department of Youth Rehabilitation Services (DYRS) should hold him, not an iron-clad jail cell. The judge’s decision to place Toney in DYRS’s custody adheres to an overall ethos in Washington and other jurisdictions that “juvenile offenders should be rehabilitated instead of punished,” the Post reported:

In D.C., as in other jurisdictions, the juvenile justice system is designed to be entirely rehabilitative. Names and records are confidential, defendants are referred to as “respondents,” and the maximum punishment for a youth is confinement until they are 21 years old.

After being placed in the care of DYRS, Toney became another statistic in his fatal altercation with the off-duty federal officer, police say. “Guns, carjackings, 13-year-olds — [a] recipe for tragedy,” District Mayor Muriel Bowser said Monday. “And that’s what we have.”

Police: Chicago Teen Violently Robs Store While out on Pretrial Release

An 18-year-old Chicago man managed to violently rob a sporting goods store while out on pretrial release with seven previous cases pending, officials say.

Jaquan Bush, who has six prior juvenile cases, was out on bond for an adult charge of possessing a stolen motor vehicle when he entered a Champs store in the city’s expensive Loop neighborhood on September 17, CWB Chicago reported

Prosecutors alleged Bush grabbed a Nike jacket off a display rack and rushed for the door. He was confronted by the store manager, who believed he recognized Bush from a previous robbery, and a struggle ensued.

Bush then allegedly pulled out a knife, “lunged” at a female employee, snatched the jacket from her hands as she attempted to pull it away from him, and escaped.

While police were still investigating the robbery, Bush managed to land himself yet another felony case. He was arrested for possessing a firearm when cops responding to gunfire and reports of a person shot “said they saw Bush walking down a street with one side of his hoodie weighted down,” the local outlet reported.

Bush attempted to run away and led officers on a chase into his backyard, where they discovered that he had ditched the gun under the porch, police said. 

Officers also reported having to call for backup when Bush’s “irate” family members surrounded the cops.  

Bush has not been accused of the shooting reports at this time. 

When finally taken into custody, once again, Judge Mary Marubio ordered the teen to be detained for violating pretrial release conditions in a stolen vehicle case. That previous incident involved Bush bailing from a stolen Kia Optima when police observed him parking it on June 30, officials said. 

“Prosecutors said he didn’t put the car into park before trying to run away, and it crashed into another vehicle,” the outlet reported.

Bush was reportedly able to post just a $500 bail and was set free after his hearing on July 1. 

“During the hearing, prosecutors did not tell Judge Ankur Srivastava about the six juvenile cases that prosecutors now say are pending,” according to CWB Chicago.

An elderly school bus driver in Louisiana was accused of choking a student on Monday, and video footage shows the incident unfold.

The driver, who was transporting children from Marrero Middle School at the time, was arrested, officials with the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office told Nola.com on Thursday.

Sgt. Brandon Veal told the outlet that 77-year-old Miles Jenkins was booked on simple battery; however, WVUE reported Thursday he was out on bond.

According to the Jefferson Parish Public School System, Jenkins worked for its transportation vendor, First Student, the Nola.com article said.

Video footage shows the bus driver, who resigned from his position, allegedly pushing the young student while on the bus:

At one point, the man appears to slap the student, who tries to push the man off of him. Moments later, the bus driver seems to hold the student against the window with his hands around the child’s neck.

WVUE noted it was unclear what caused the incident in the first place.

The student’s father reported what happened to the sheriff’s office, and the agency’s school resource officer opened an investigation.

The school district said it was aware of the situation, the safety and well-being of students was its primary concern, and also noted it was working with authorities during the investigation.

“Jenkins was booked into the Jefferson Parish Correctional Center in Gretna. Bail was set at $500, but he was released without having to pay because of crowding at the jail,” the Nola.com report said.

In April, a school bus driver in Colorado faced 30 child abuse charges for allegedly slamming on the brakes to “teach the kids a lesson,” according to Breitbart News.

Driver Brian Fitzgerald reportedly said he was sorry, but he was trying to “educate” and “control the students,” who ranged from kindergarteners to sixth graders.
