Update: Alleged Carjacker Denied Bond

A Florida man charged with carjacking and other related crimes was denied bond Monday by a Dorchester County magistrate.

Corey Jamaine Dozier, who allegedly took a vehicle at gunpoint and fleeing 25 miles before being captured Sunday, appeared via closed-circuit video from the county detention center in St. George as Judge Gary Cook denied bond.

Dozier, 31, of Jacksonville, Fla., was charged with carjacking, possession of a weapon during a violent crime, possession of a stolen weapon, failure to stop for a blue light and driving with a suspended license. 

"I didn't mean no harm," Dozier said, alternating from putting his head in his cuffed hands and then looking up. "I apologize for all the trauma — drama — and tragedy that I caused the county."

Bond was set for driving with a suspended license at $652.50, and bond was set for the weapons charges and failure-to-stop charge at $32,500.

Dozier is unemployed and has other charges pending from other jurisdictions. 

In an incident report for an armed robbery and kidnapping in St. George that occured Sunday, which lists Dozier as the suspect, authorities say Dozier is wanted in connection to an attempted homicide in Jacksonville. The incident report was provided to Patch by The Dorchester Eagle-Record. 

According to the St. George incident report, which is prior to the Dorchester County report of the carjacking, the suspect bought gas and beer at the gas station, and then returned to steal $231 at gunpoint. The station clerk was then ordered into the freezer, where she remained until the suspect left. She reported that Dozier then fled to I-95 in an unknown direction, driving a car with Florida plates. 

St. George police report the vehicle was stolen from Jacksonville, Fla., and was later found abandoned near the I-26/I-95 interchange.
