Man arrested for Northeast Portland carjacking
PORTLAND, Ore. – An 18-year-old man was arrested Wednesday after police say he pulled a woman out of her SUV in a business parking lot, got in her car and drove away.
Police say Devon Mack carjacked the woman by punching her and stealing her keys at LaCrosse Footwear on Northeast Airport Way shortly after 4 p.m.
Police said they caught up to Devon Mack after people calling 911 reported a car off the road at Northeast 148th Avenue and Marine Drive and a drunken driver near Northeast 33rd Avenue and Marine Drive. Police determined it was the same car in both locations.
Port of Portland officers spotted the car on Marine Drive and one of their officers followed it and tried to stop it with a (PIT) maneuver at Northeast 122nd Avenue and Airport Way but was unsuccessful. A Portland police officer, however, was able to stop the car a short distance away using the same maneuver and arrested Mack without further incident, police said.
Mack was taken to the Multnomah County Jail. He faces charges of third-degree robbery, unlawful use of a motor vehicle, attempt to elude in a vehicle, unlawful entry into a motor vehicle, driving under the influence of intoxicants, failure to perform the duties of a driver and reckless driving.
He will be arraigned Thursday in Multnomah County Court.
So THAT is what happened yesterday that had people rubber necking on the way home. I work right up the street from where this happened.
A real stand up guy. He hits women.
"He faces charges of third-degree robbery, unlawful use of a motor vehicle, attempt to elude in a vehicle, unlawful entry into a motor vehicle, driving under the influence of intoxicants, failure to perform the duties of a driver and reckless driving."

What about the Assault charge?

What I don't understand is why an obviously brilliant physicist is wasting his time driving SUV's when he could be working with other top scientific minds toward solving the ancient mystery of the Nazca geoglyphs as God surely intended him to do. Something tells me he could put that conundrum to rest once and for all.

But alas...
When do we flush the toilet? His neck tatts are sure to make him unemployable and thus will continue to be a burden on the taxpayers......Lets flush the toilet now and save us from his violent future....
Hey, K2.. please update the story (I know, you're waiting on PPB to give the usual press release and all, but as soon as you get it, please post an update - thank you).
Â
..Can't wait to see the total loser perp. that did this.
 @ThePosterFormerlyKnownAsPhredE Guess they aren't going to update. Here's more on it..

Of course either way, the guy is a colossal d-bag.
Huh, lots of information missing at the moment.... Was this woman outside of her car when she was approached? Or driving with the window down in freezing temps? Might this have been a pizzed-off boyfriend..?
WTG, PPD..! Â Â :-)
Thank you Portland Police! You guys did a fine job taking this bad guy down... right in front of my very eyes. Great pit maneuver!
 @Lips ~ Seriously, you saw this, Lips..?  Cool..!   :-)
 @margay1 I did. Not the carjacking, but the capture.
 @Mikey I had a strategic vantage point. When the news crews showed up, I had to make a choice. Blog about it later, or get captured on film and have you yo-yo's talking crap about me. Lol... so I stayed inside. Pictures? Maybe. =)
 @Lips Pictures? You DID get pictures, right? ;-)
I'll read this latest news when you get it updated!
I hope he get's "jacked up" in jail. What a low life.
And that person is described as.........
 @last boyscout OMG, LB...Thought you were going to say "Liberal"! LOL!
Â
Happy New Year, by the way.
Â
Whatever he is, I'm sure the older guys will appreciate his pretty mouth in jail.
 @last boyscout Not white, not black, but ethnic. Maybe Asian? Small build.
 @Lips You know what they say. Small build, small......
 @last boyscout Yeah... not to mention punching a lady in the face. That really does say it all.
Oh dear! We need to outlaw men's hands as they can be used as fists!
Â
Seriously, I am glad he has been caught and I hope he gets convictted and sentenced..... Violent crime is serious, regardless of the weapon used! We must find a way to make it not worth attemptting in order to stop criminals. Outlawing their weapons has never stopped nor even slowed their committing of crimes. Why? They ARE CRIMINALS! Plus our courts will only slap them on the wrist saying that the prisons are too full.
Â
Punch him in the face until he feels the fear he instilled in the motorist he attacked. Then make him work off his fines doing some hard and filthy labor. If it's his second offense then quadruple the sentence. Third? He's obviously never going to learn.....
Â
It may be unconstitutional for cruel and unusual punishment but we have what could at best be called "kind and generous"..... Convicts have it better than our homeless and lowest incomed people who haven't broken any laws.....
I hope the police appropriated a similar level of courtesy for the stranger as the strange demonstrated to the innocent motorist.
 @ThePosterFormerlyKnownAsPhredE I wish they had. They did a great job arresting him. Especially since this took place during rush hour. They pitted him, drew their weapons and took him down. The car is damaged, but bad guy is in custody. Very exciting to watch.
 @Lips Well, yeah, they got him quick and that's great.  It's a bit of a shame for the poor woman though -- punched in the face by a stranger, has her car stolen, guy drives it a bit and then the PD pits it to stop him. I guess it's necessary and all, but now she's got a car that's going to required reams of paperwork / insurance claims / police reports to get the thing fixed [assuming of course, that is possible].  Either way, the woman gets the shortest end of the stick in all this. Â
 @ThePosterFormerlyKnownAsPhredE  @Lips They should make this guy work until he's paid off a new replacement for her damaged vehicle, plus costs for room and board and supervision. He can drive a mop bucket and shift gears with a toilet brush.
 @ThePosterFormerlyKnownAsPhredE She absolutely does. And her car is still out there. Damaged. I'm keeping my eye out. If I see her, I'll assist in anyway I can. Total loser to punch a lady in the face.
