A couple is carjacked outside the I-65 Walmart by a teenager not even old enough to drive!

However, this isn't the first time someone has pulled a gun to steal a car in the same parking lot.

Last Friday, Mobile Police say a 15-year old shoved a gun in the face of a couple walking to their car. Since December, there have been four reported carjackings in the same lot.

Mobile Police Corporal Charles Bagsby says if you are shopping at night... take a buddy, park near the lights and keep an eye on your surroundings. "The main thing is to be conscious of your surroundings because a lot of these crimes are committed by surprise when you're not paying attention."

The 15-year old in the case was arrested after a short car chase and taken to Strickland Youth Center. He's charged with robbery.

In the past year, Mobile Police have responded to 463 various calls from the Walmart on the Beltline. In comparison, 341 calls were made for police assistance last year at the Walmart on Schillinger Road.

How can anyone miss your post?????Geez, I told you we would all give you the"I’m Right” trophy, what more do u want??? Working in the healthcare feild you should know that you shouldn’t be getting your b.p. up like that.CALM down before you burst an artery.And you must like living in the redneck riviera ,your still there. I’m not…or did you miss that post???? LMAO

mercyyyyyyyyyyy

java-it’s not about being right or wrong-it’s about looking at the whole picture. Did you look at the stats from the MPD? I realize living in the redneck riviera it may be hard to open that mind. I am as country as can be,but one thing I am not,is ignorant. You speak of black people ?Kathy,right, agreeing with you…funny,someone else posted a forum thread on the subject. Might want to see how they feel about it,not that I expect you to give a hoot. And yeah,my husband is a cop who keeps ME well aware of the stats too,or did you miss that post?

Why is it so difficult to see beyond a color, and think that maybe,just maybe-there are other factors that play into this?

HHmmmmm,Let’s see…the stats I’m reading must be altered..yeah,that’s it altered!My origional thoughts were to look at the majority of the type of people that are there, the ones who have to hold thier pants on to hide thier buisness, the ones who ride thru the p.lot in thier old buicks screaming thier “f’bomb,sexual music in front of small children,the ones who slap thier children in the back of the heads just because the wind blows and the ones who are screaming like idiots across the store.The gangs who hang out in the p.lot and gold teeth smiles all around!The majority of folks on this post has agreed with most of my comments and opinions,(even black people) so to me that speaks volumes, but since you are apparently the type of person who “can’t be wrong” then I`m gonna back up and give you the trophy.Because in your mind, even though everyone has argued your point,YOUR STILL RIGHT. I sure feel sorry for your poor hubby if you are married, Poor Guy,Bet he NEVER gets to be right.
(Oh, BTW…I have a good friend in Mobile who has been a detective for years and he still keeps me up on the scoop, but I guess he’s wrong too) Thanks for the laughs!

So the stats were lies? Or are you making up your own “truth?”

GEEZ Lady…..don’t get all capital letters on me…lol Sorry u have a hard time beliveing the truth….maybe white men just don’t do it for ya who knows and frankly who cares????????

Naw, that would get all the anti-LE haters riled up!:)

Wouldn’t it be nice to see a video of this thug on youtube yelling “don’t taze me bro”?

java-obviously you are still not seeing the big picture,nor, do I think you want to. Does WKRG or any other source post EVERY mug shot for every person arrested? NOOOOOO. I looked at the Mobile County Sheriff’s Office site the other day, within 12 hours there were over 50 people booked, and it was for way more than an expired tag! Some had multiple charges, Never saw their mug shot.

And I guess you are saying those statistics I posted are all LIES?????

I guess I must just be color blind when they post mug shots on wkrg,who knew????
