ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Authorities say an Orlando man panicked after robbing someone of a phone and shot himself while fleeing the scene and eventually flagged down a deputy for help.
Orange County Sheriff’s Lt. Mike Crabb says Lashawn Williams, 24, ran across the street after shooting himself early Sunday and jumped into a Mercedes that had its door open in the parking lot of a gentleman’s club.
The Orlando Sentinel reports Williams drove away in the stolen car when he started feeling the effects of the gunshot wound. He then flagged down a passing deputy and was taken to the hospital with injuries that aren’t life-threatening.
Williams was brought to the Orange County Jail and charged with armed robbery and possession of a stolen vehicle.
