MORE DETAILS: A senior citizen escaped injury when a woman she gave a ride to threatened to kill her and carjacked her vehicle Monday (11/23/2020) on Central Valley Road, a Rutherford County Sheriff’s detective said.
The 71-year-old senior citizen was not injured but flagged down another driver who contacted the sheriff’s office, said Detective Brian Gonzales.
She was shopping at the Dollar General in Leanna when the unidentified woman asked for a ride. The senior citizen pulled into a driveway. The woman threatened her and stole her 2007 Toyota Yaris that was black in color with a Tennessee license plate of 3G4-8V2.
