Newspaper Carrier Reports Carjacking

A Post and Courier newspaper carrier reported to police that as she was delivering papers a man tried to enter her passenger-side door as he reached for what she thought was a weapon.

The woman sped away from the scene and called police, according to an incident report. But according to the apparent suspect, the whole thing was a mix-up.

He told officers that he had just been informed that he was being granted a lucrative recording contract and that the third car that passed him would be a woman with a contract for him to sign.

It wasn’t clear if officers charged the man with any crime.
