Bullshit story out of Georgia...

"Fighting off a carjacker?"
Bullshit. The guy was hiding out to sober up first.

Man accused of driving car that hit 9-year-old girl arrested

LITHONIA, Ga. (AP) — Police have arrested a man they say was driving the car that hit and seriously injured a 9-year-old girl playing in her front yard in suburban Atlanta.

The family’s lawyer says it's a "miracle" 9-year-old LaDerihanna Holmes is still alive after a car slammed into her while she was playing in her front lawn. (Source: GoFundMe)

News outlets report that 28-year-old Gabriel Jabri Fordham surrendered to police Tuesday evening. Fordham faces charges including hit and run and serious injury by vehicle, in the crash Friday that left LaDerihanna Holmes with a fractured skull and broken pelvis.

But Fordham's attorney Ryan Williams told WSB-TV his client was trying to fight off a carjacker when the crash happened. Williams said Fordham and his girlfriend, who owns the car, contacted police the day of the crash and had been working to negotiate a surrender.

This guy must be a Republican, because he apparently doesn't realize that there's this thing called video that shows everything that happened. After the crash, only one person gets out of the car and runs away. Where is this phantom carjacker? And if all you were doing was fighting off a carjacker, why did you head for zee hills as soon as you got out of the car?
