Dustin1978 Posted February 24, 2003 Posted February 24, 2003 "WE HAD THIS GUY LIKE A PRETZEL ON THE GROUND" states judo team member Alleged carjacker Tyrone Hogan learned that you should be more careful when selecting mugging victims. Specifically, it is a bad idea to take on a group of able-bodied athletes and a very bad idea to take on a traveling judo squad. Furthermore, if you do so then you should be prepared to be forcefully restrained, bloodied, and doused with gasoline before being handed over to the cops. According to the Los Angeles Times, it all started at around 1:30 pm on Sunday, August 18th, when 20-year old Tyrone Hogan allegedly carjackaged a man and women outside their Hollywood-area home. After pulling the man out of their automobile, Hogan got into the driver's seat and drove off with the woman inside. After attempting to grab the woman's purse, officials say that Hogan then forced the woman out of the traveling car. He then pulled into a Mobil gas station to steal another vehicle. Unfortunately for Hogan, the beige minivan that he selected was occupied by the Florida International University Judo Team. Apparently lacking any form of common sense, Hogan asked a member of the coed judo team for money and then struggled with other team members as he attempted to gain control of the minivan. Several members then joined in "restraining" Hogan with what they called a "Boyd Hold." For his troubles, Hogan was bloodied, arrested, treated for minor injuries and is being held on $1.2 million bail. Blackbelt TV would like to remind other would-be carjackers that there are over 5 million martial artists in the United States and self-defense classes are at an all time high. Therefore, before you try to forcefully gain control of an occupied vehicle, make sure to first ask yourself as to whether you feel lucky.
