Taxi driver carjacked near Dumfries

A man is charged with carjacking, hit and run, eluding police, driving under the influence, preventing the summoning of law enforcement, and driving on a suspending license. 

Redmon forced a taxi driver from his vehicle and drove away with it. When officers attempted to stop Redmon, he fled. Redmon struck another vehicle at a redlight at the intersection of Prince William Parkway, according to police.

No injuries were reported except minor injuries of the accused.

Here is more in a press release:

Carjacking | Felony Hit and Run – On February 7 at 11:44PM, officers responded to the Valero service station located at 17315 Jefferson Davis Hwy in Dumfries (22026) to investigate a carjacking.

The accused then forced the victim out of the vehicle and drove off in the taxi. Responding officers observed the vehicle in the area of Jefferson Davis Hwy and Dale Blvd. When officers attempted to stop the vehicle, the accused continue to flee northbound on Jefferson Davis Hwy.
