Inmate Released, Carjacks Woman in Jail Parking Lot
http://www.wptv.com/news/local/story.aspx?content_id=d8fb52e3-8aab-43f5-b7b7-b08b8364ddeb

The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office says Frank Singleton was released from jail, walked into the parking lot, and carjacked a woman.

The victim, who asked not to be identified, says despite attempts to fight Singleton off, he almost got away.

But, she says, he didn't know how to drive a stick shift.

The 23 year old woman, who asked not to be identified, tells NewsChannel 5, "I was still holding on to the door the whole time just screaming at the top of my lungs like, 'no' and 'someone help' and stuff."

A Good Samaritan intervened, and stopped Singleton until a deputy arrived and arrested the carjacker.



As a side note, he said that he didn't know how he would get home after being released from jail. Dumb, Dumb Dumb!

2. Too dumb to live.
Here's another great part of the story-

"The Reverend put his firearm to his side and told Singleton to get on the ground. A deputy came to assist and handcuffed Singleton."

The Rev's packing heat! Only in Florida!!

A man trying to rob a muffler store made the police's job very easy. He left his cell phone numbers with the store workers for them to call him when the person who could open the safe returned.
