for something after all!

============================================
An Orange Park woman escaped a suspected carjacker Saturday night after burning the man’s face with a cigar and jumping out of the car when he slowed down, police say.

The incident began at about 10 p.m. when Valerie - boyfriend left her in the passenger seat of a Mercury Grand Marquis while he checked into the Motel 6. A man jumped into the driver’s seat of the still-running car and threatened the woman with a handgun as he backed out of the parking lot.

The car had gone a few hundred yards west on Youngerman when Colon burned the carjacker with a lit Black and Mild cigar, according to Sheriff’s Office reports. The Mercury slowed down enough for her to jump out.

Minutes later, a sheriff’s deputy from nearby Clay County reported that they were following a car that matched the Mercury’s description. It was stopped at a Kangaroo station at Blanding and Argyle Forest boulevards.

James -, 21, was arrested on charges of carjacking and kidnapping.

Investigators say they found a fresh burn mark on his right cheek.

Lemme get this straight: She was in a running Grand Marquis outside a Motel 6, smoking a Black and Mild. Was she surprised she got 'jacked? :-)

I hope she reported that as "workers comp"

Thats great though, even though it was a cheap cigar; you can say " cigars save lives"
