‘You Crossed the Line!’: Veteran Rescues Pregnant Florida Woman from Carjacking
by Amy Furr
When a suspect allegedly tried to carjack a pregnant woman at a Starbucks drive-thru in Ocala, Florida, an Army veteran jumped in to save the day.
Shane Spicer told Fox 35 he lives about one mile from the coffee shop and was waiting for his order when the incident occurred, the outlet reported Monday.
Law enforcement officers were involved in a high-speed chase with a man wanted for allegedly breaking into a home and stealing a vehicle. However, he wrecked in a nearby intersection and fled the scene on foot.
The Fox article identified the suspect as “convicted career criminal Michael Prouty.”
Spicer, whom the Daily Mail said is a retired Army officer, recalled that the suspect ran toward the Starbucks. That was the moment Spicer’s instincts kicked in, and he took immediate action when Prouty allegedly tried to carjack a woman.
