Shooting Suspects Caught Because They Can’t Drive Car They Hijacked

August 16, 2011 at 9:16 am by  

Shooting Suspects Caught Because They Cant Drive Car They HijackedSUMMIT COUNTY, Utah – Roy Fritts, 33, served 10 years in prison for attempted murder after he was convicted of firing at police while his pregnant girlfriend drove down an Oregon highway at speeds that reached over 100 mph.

On Monday, he found himself involved in yet another shooting and once again leading police on a high speed chase with a female companion.

This time it was with his new wife, 35-year-old Jessica Fritts. The couple were married behind bars after meeting on an online prison pen-pal program. She had previously been incarcerated for robbing a bank in 2001.

Now the pair were headed to Nevada. Roy was wanted out of Oregon after leaving the state without permission, and the couple had already eluded a state trooper after having stole a car that they later abandoned.

Shooting Suspects Caught Because They Cant Drive Car They HijackedPolice were finally able to locate the Fritts after a 54-year-old man was found on the side of the road on Sunday, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. He was taken to the hospital where he explained he had been travelling with the couple when they shot him and stole his van.

Using this info, the van was spotted in Wyoming on Monday.

A chase began when deputies tried to pull the van over, crossing into Utah and getting the Summit County Sheriff’s office and Utah Highway Patrol involved.

The van was disabled after spike strips where used, and the couple ran on foot.

They eventually found an old man in his driveway and hijacked his vehicle, but were unable to get very far. The car had a manual transmission and neither of the Fritts knew how to drive a stick-shift.

Six armed deputies surrounded the couple and took them into custody without further incident.

They were also very lucky. A sniper had Fritts in his sights during the hijacking attempt, but because of the nearby civilian, didn’t take the shot. Too bad.

      Well if you are going to be in the car stealing business- it is essential that you know how to drive stick…this is surely an embarrassment to criminals everywhere.

      Well he fucked up on his prisonmatch.com profile. WTF is up with an online prison pen-pal program anyway? They should sit in a cell and have no luxuries.

      This is Horrible! The sniper is entitled to a re-do, there is no logical reason to take such a chance from a skilled marksman.

      Everyone should know how to drive a stick shift.  Never know when it could come in handy..

    • Coyote

      Everyone should learn to drive a clutch just as everyone should learn to swim.  You may never need to know how to do either one, but sure as shit you’ll be glad you learned if ever the need arises.

      I’m surprised that dude didn’t learn how to “drive a stick” in prison.

      Fuck, if I was a criminal I’d be a mastermind. If you’re going to do something, do it right. Don’t be an idiot!

      This dude can’t even steal a car right!

      Oh & to the women: if the man you’re in love with is in prison & not for killing a dog that killed his pregnant wife, RUN!

      Props to LeaveMeBe for “prisonmatch.com”. 

      Looking for love in all the WRONG places?  Tired of meeting partners that don’t agree with your Master Plan of World Mahem?  Try prisonmatch.com!  We have thousands of members who share your delusional passions and dreams.  Meet Roy and Jessica, one of our success stories:

      Jessica:  “When I first saw Roy’s online profile, his mug shot wasn’t much to look at.  I mean, where the hell are his teeth?  But I got past the superficial and learned he loves “hot” wheels, speeding police chases, and filling people full of lead.  Yes!  Soul mate!!” 

      Roy:  “Jessica is the woman of my dreams!  First, she doesn’t have a penis (big plus in the penal system) and second, she knows how to bring home the bacon.  Sure it takes a gun, violence, and breaking a dozen laws, but she’s an amazing modern career woman who knows how to get what she wants.”

      I know I should not expect much from criminals coz if they were smart they wouldn’t be criminals in the first place but is it too much too ask that you know how to drive the car you are stealing before you steal it?

      It’s stories like this that make me smile madly and forcibly squash the urge to go outside and hug my lovely, lovely cars.  Especially my ’69 Spitfire, which can make folks who’ve driven sticks for decades stare in unabashed confusion at it and wonder just how the hell you’re supposed to find reverse or get into 3rd without grinding the snot out of the gears.  XD
