Drug Possession: Car Jacking Fail – Driver Fights Back

A carjacker took a beating on his first attempt at a Sonic restaurant early Tuesday morning, but later succeeded in stealing a woman’s vehicle, deputies said. Authorities issued a warrant for James M. Williams, 23, of 21121 Little Lake Thomas Drive in Land O’Lakes on two counts of armed carjacking. Surveillance video from around 3:30 am at the Sonic at 2320 Bearss Ave. shows a man deputies identified as Williams approaching the driver’s side window of a Chevrolet pickup truck in the drive-thru lane with a large stick. He demanded the driver get out, then began striking the driver with stick when the driver tried to pull away, according to the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s office. The driver slid out of the passenger side, but got back in when Williams hopped into the driver’s seat. The driver began kicking Williams in the head until he got out, deputies said. Williams got away, sans stick. But then, just before 4 am, Williams beat a woman with a tree branch until she got out of her vehicle 2 miles north of the Sonic. Her vehicle later was found abandoned at a Circle K on Hale Road and US 41 in Pasco County. Neither victim was seriously injured. Williams served seven months in prison in 2007 on car theft and drug possession charges. Anyone with information about this case can contact the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office at (813) 247-8200 or Crime Stoppers at 1 (800) 873-8477.
