Deputies: 2 women charged with carjacking - WJXT Jacksonville
The women, 47-year-old Hope Gibbons and 28-year-old Tia Miller, were arrested Monday and charged with carjacking and false imprisonment. According to deputies, just after 5 p. m. Monday, the women reportedly stole items they placed inside their purses and fled Kohl's in a 2001 green Kia Rio with a North Carolina plate. A deputy saw the Rio on U. S. 17, driving south toward Green Cove Springs, and attempted to pull it over. The deputy reported that the driver, Gibbons, signaled she would pull over, while he could see the passenger, Miller, throwing clothes into the back seat and throwing what looked like price tags out of the front passenger window. Gibbons kept driving and the deputy pursued and saw her pull into the parking lot of a Wendy's on U. S. 17 and then pull out of the parking lot of a Winn-Dixie and turn east onto County Road 315. At that point, the deputy was told to discontinue... While driving back to Orange Park, the deputy spotted the Rio disabled on the side of the road and saw Gibbons and Miller running out into traffic and then stopping in front of a silver Toyota Venza, driven by Sanders.
