Like a lot of cities around the United States, the crime stats in New Orleans are moving in the wrong direction, but thankfully one armed citizen was able to put a stop to a recent carjacking; and without pulling the trigger.
It was broad daylight on Sunday afternoon when a driver behind the wheel of a vehicle in the Lower Garden District became the alleged target of 44-year old Quinn Massey. As the driver was navigating through the narrow streets, busy with traffic, Massey was apparently able to hop in the back seat of the vehicle.
Massey “implied” that he had a gun, and that’s when the driver grabbed his own; forcing the man from his ride and ensuring his own safety. Massey was arrested a short time later, but officials in the state are pointing out that these types of incidents are happening more frequently.
