Woman Gets 20 Years For Carjackings After Luring Victims Online
September 13, 2014
An Escambia County woman was sentenced to 20 years in prison for carjackings and related crimes in which she used social media find her victims.
Brianna Nicole Armour, age 19, was sentenced by Circuit Judge Michael Allen to 20 years minimum mandatory state prison. Armour entered a guilty plea on April 29, 2014 to two counts of attempted carjacking with a firearm, one count of shooting at, into or within an occupied vehicle, two counts of possession of a firearm by a convicted delinquent under 24 years of age, two counts of aggravated assault by threat with firearm, one count of grand theft auto, and one count of criminal mischief.
Prosecutors said the defendant utilized the social media website “tagged.com” to lure all three of her victims into meeting her. In the first case, the defendant met the victim and drove to a local gas station whereupon the victim went into the store to purchase a drink. While the victim was in the store, the defendant drove off in the victim’s vehicle.
In the second case, upon Armour meeting the victim, she directed him to drive to a remote location. Once at that location, the defendant brandished a pistol and ordered the victim out of the car. When the defendant attempted to get into the driver’s seat, the victim managed to drive away. Upon driving away, Armour shot out the back window of the vehicle.
In the third case, Armour once again directed the victim to drive to a remote location. Once at that location, the defendant brandished a pistol and ordered the victim out of his truck. A brief struggle over the pistol resulted in the victim receiving a minor gunshot wound to his arm, after which the defendant fled on foot.

If one of her victims had a firearm, I wonder how things would have turned out? One more reason to exercise our 2d Amendment RIGHT!!
