CAUTION

St. Louis mom lays down law with son, turns him into cops for carjacking pastor

A St. Louis-area mom turned her son into police after she learned he allegedly pointed a gun at a local pastor’s face and stole his car, authorities said.

"It was his mother becoming aware of the event and questioning her son and turning him over to the juvenile courts for prosecution," Capt. Donnell Moore of the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department said, according to KSDK. "Investigators are still working to find the second suspect."

The Rev. Mike Coleman said he was approached by a boy brandishing a gun and another young boy at Carondelet Baptist Church in South St. Louis last Friday evening. The pair allegedly demanded his car and other valuables.

Coleman said he cooperated with the kids, handing over his wallet, phone and keys to his wife’s 2016 Dodge Caravan. He even helped the suspects unlock a driving club that was secured to the steering wheel and told them how to start the vehicle. He asked them not to do anything they would regret because a security camera was recording them.

"I didn’t want to get closer to these guys, but I was very cooperative," Coleman said. "There is no way these guys had driven a car before."

He watched the car speed away down a ramp and crash into two cars on a nearby street. The suspects then fled on foot and abandoned the stolen car, according to the Post-Dispatch.
