WACO (March 25, 2009)—The McLennan County Grand Jury Wednesday returned an indictment against Christopher Edward Brooks of Waco charging aggravated robbery and aggravated kidnapping in a carjacking that happened four days after Christmas.
Another man and a juvenile were also arrested in connection with the incident.
The indictment stems from the carjacking on Dec. 29, which happened in the parking lot of the Kate Ross apartment complex in the 1100 block of South 11th Street.
The victim told officers that after she parked, she noticed a man walking around the parking lot and decided to wait before getting out of the car.
She said the man walked over to her car, pulled out a pistol, and ordered her to get in the back seat with her daughter, who was still strapped in a car seat.
Three other men ran up and also got in the car.
One of them also had a pistol, police said.
The men took the woman’s purse and then drove her to an ATM and told her if she didn’t withdraw cash, they would kill her and her daughter.
The woman, however, had no money in her account and couldn’t make a withdrawal, police said.
The men later dropped off the woman and the toddler unharmed at the intersection of North 23rd Street and Sanger Avenue.
The car was found abandoned at Sherman and East Live Oak Streets.
