A potentially tragic situation was averted thanks to the quick thinking and intervention of a bystander at an Exxon gas station in Ormond Beach, Florida. According to police reports, Marvette Perry, 36, was apprehended on Saturday after allegedly attempting to carjack a vehicle.
The incident unfolded when Adam McDaniel, a visitor from North Carolina, noticed Perry exhibiting suspicious behavior while he was pumping gas. Sensing trouble, McDaniel took precautionary measures by retrieving his firearm from his center console and keeping it on standby.
As fate would have it, his instincts proved crucial. Moments later, Perry made her move as the vehicle owner stepped away to use the bathroom. Ignoring the potential danger, the owner bravely tried to prevent Perry from stealing his car, grabbing her by the ankle.
McDaniel, recognizing the urgency of the situation, rushed to intervene. He pointed his weapon at Perry, effectively deterring her from further attempts. Remarkably, his actions compelled Perry to surrender without further resistance.
Reflecting on the incident, McDaniel emphasized the importance of helping others, a value instilled in him from his upbringing in a small town in North Carolina. His swift and courageous response undoubtedly prevented a potential disaster.
Thanks to McDaniel’s intervention, the victim’s car was spared from being stolen, and any harm to individuals was avoided. Perry now faces charges including carjacking, burglary with assault, and resisting an officer and is currently held in Volusia County Jail without bond.
