According to a police report, the victim told officers he was sitting in his vehicle when a white, four-door sedan pulled up next to his Ford Explorer. The victim said a white male jumped out of the passenger’s side and entered his vehicle. The victim told police he yelled at the man who promptly got back in his car and shut the door.
