The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office says Frank Singleton was released from jail, walked into the parking lot, and carjacked a woman.

The victim, who asked not to be identified, says despite attempts to fight Singleton off, he almost got away.

But, she says, he didn't know how to drive a stick shift.

The 23 year old woman, who asked not to be identified, tells NewsChannel 5, "I was still holding on to the door the while time just screaming at the top of my lungs like, 'no' and 'someone help' and stuff."

A Good Samaritan intervened, and stopped Singleton until a deputy arrived and arrested the carjacker.

Singleton told officials he did it because he didn’t feel like walking and needed a ride.

He's being held without bond.

PBSO says there are no immediate plans to increase security in the jail parking lot.

Singleton told deputies "he didn't feel like walking", thats why he carjacked the woman. March 25th, 2008 Last Update 3:48 PM

Reported By: WPTV Staff


Frank James Singleton was just released from jail Monday afternoon when police say he decided to break the law again ... inside the jail's parking lot.

At 11:45am, a woman parked her sports car in the jail's visitor’s parking lot when she saw a man running toward her.

She got inside the vehicle when the man, later identified as Frank James Singleton, demanded her car.

Police say he then dragged the victim out of the car and took her keys.

He started the vehicle but could not flee because he did not know how to drive a stick-shift.

A clergyman for Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office saw the incident and ran to help.

The Reverend put his firearm to his side and told Singleton to get on the ground. A deputy came to assist and handcuffed Singleton.

When the deputy asked Frank Singleton what happened, Singleton uttered, "I didn't feel like walking."

Frank Singleton was re-arrested and booked into the Palm Beach County Jail again; this time for a felony charge of carjacking.

Hmmmm...rehabilitation works, Huh?

[mikepro8]

WOW.
Think this guy is a danger to the community much?

[BearTitan]

We failed him as a society...

Now lets all have a big hug.

[mauser]

That's evidence that some people just don't know the difference between right and wrong and can't be taught, or just plain don't care. Rehabilitation obviously didn't work for him as was evident mere minutes after release.

This is so brazen that it seems like it almost has to be one of those cases where the inmate has grown accustomed to life in prison and wanted to get back in as quickly as possible.

Turns around and commits another forcible felony right after being released??


...send him to Raiford to meet Old Sparky or have a needle put in his arm.

That's what I was thinking.
Especially with the lame reason he gave for his actions.
If he was 'in' with a crowd while jailed......he's got it made with no responsibilities etc....
On the outside - If you've got nobody (family, friends, etc...), then trying to do it on your own may be awfully frightening.
