PEACH COUNTY, Ga. — A Fort Valley man is being held without bond after a strange carjacking incident Friday morning.
According to Peach County Sheriff Terry Deese, it started as a single-car accident on Highway 49 near Country Club Road.
He says 30-year-old Jamel Hillman was involved in a domestic dispute in Fort Valley, hopped in his car and then later wrecked on the highway.
A woman passing by stopped and got out of her car to check on him, but Deese says Hillman stole the woman’s car and drove himself to the Medical Center in Macon.
Deputies found Hillman by tracking the car’s location with its onboard GPS.
He’s being charged with auto theft, and Fort Valley Police are investigating the domestic dispute as a separate situation.
