CHESTER, Pa. (AP) - One suspect has been charged in the gunpoint carjacking of the wife of a southeastern Pennsylvania mayor.
The wife of Chester Mayor John Linder was the victim of a carjacking in which a man held a gun to her head.
Police said the suspects approached Deana Linder after she parked near her home and demanded her car.
They drove off with the car. Linder wasn’t hurt and her car was recovered.
Officials in Chester said 24-year-old Jasper Gregory Moy is being held on $250,000 cash bail in connection with Wednesday night’s incident and three others have been released but remain “persons of interest” in the case.
The mayor said the attackers didn’t target his wife, calling it simply the latest example of “random violence” plaguing the city.
