Carjacking
1500 S. State St.

A man reported that his cab was stolen by suspects armed with a knife. Officers located the vehicle and the suspects fled in the cab and a pursuit was initiated by an outside agency. The pursuit ended and the suspects refused to exit the vehicle. An outside police agency deployed tear gas rounds into the vehicle, forcing the suspects to exit. One suspect refused to comply so a K9 was deployed. Both suspects were taken into custody without further incident. Jordan Kent, 24, was booked into jail for aggravated robbery, aggravated assault, failure to stop, interfering with an arresting officer and possession of drug paraphernalia.
