Kid-challenged alleged carjacker caught

MIAMI, March 31 (UPI) -- Florida police have arrested a suspected carjacker who was foiled in his alleged attempt to steal a car by a book-swinging 6-year-old Miami girl.

Erick Fuentes, 34, was tracked down to Allapattah and arrested Friday on charges including kidnapping and battery stemming from the March 1 incident, The Miami Herald reported.

The Herald said Fuentes allegedly accosted Atheysha Diaz in her driveway and drove off in her car with her kids, 2-year-old Jose, and Briana Castillo, 6, buckled in the back seat. Briana didn't go quietly and began whacking the carjacker with her fists and a copy of "Sarah's Unicorn."

Rather than saying, "Don't make me stop this car," Fuentes pulled over a few blocks away and ordered feisty Briana and her little brother out of the vehicle. The car was found later crashed into a telephone pole.

The Herald said the story made national headlines, and television hostess Ellen DeGeneres presented the family with a new car on national television.
