Paulding Carjacking Suspect Nabbed in Atlanta

The man who allegedly threatened to kill a woman while stealing her car from a Paulding County gas station earlier this month has been arrested in Atlanta, police said.

24-year-old Zachary Ryan Shipp, who is suspected in the Aug. 8 carjacking at a Racetrac in Hiram, allegedly pulled the same stunt by stealing a Porsche Cayenne from a Chevron Station on Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway on Wednesday.

11 Alive News reports that an Atlanta police officer spotted the stolen Porsche and gave chase. Shipp eventually drove off the road and hit a utility pole, ending the chase. As he was being searched, police said they discovered two bags of marijuana concealed in his privates.

Shipp faces charges of auto theft, marijuana possession, reckless conduct, leaving the roadway, possession of a firearm, and obstruction. He also has warrants out for his arrest in Cobb and DeKalb counties.
