Patrol Officers Apprehend Carjacking Suspect From Neighboring County

On April 9 at 9:35 a.m., officers were dispatched to the area of Berry Road and Bonnie Lane where a carjacking suspect was fleeing from Prince George’s County police in the stolen vehicle. Officers observed the suspect northbound on Indian Head Highway, but the suspect made a U-turn and got back on Berry Road heading eastbound where several officers had stop sticks deployed. The suspect vehicle struck a set of stop sticks, damaging a tire but the suspect continued fleeing to the area of White Plains where he pulled into a gas station, rammed a police cruiser, backed up and hit another one, and then pulled up and rammed the first cruiser again in an attempt to escape. Officers were able to contain the vehicle and apprehend the suspect without further incident. The suspect, Francis Jerome Hicks, 62, of Lexington Park, MD. was arrested by Prince George’s County police. A warrant was obtained by officers with the Charles County Sheriff’s Office charging Hicks with first-degree assault, second-degree assault, and numerous traffic violations. Officer Hunsinger is continuing the investigation.
