I-95 Carjacking Suspect Indicted On Weapon Charges By Federal Grand Jury

ALEXANDRIA, VA — A man who was run over by a car as he fled police on I-95 last April was indicted recently by a federal grand jury on weapon charges, according to court records.

On Feb. 4, a grand jury in U.S. District Court for Eastern Virginia in Alexandria charged Jamarion Dawon Jackson for possessing a firearm even though he knew that he'd been previously been convicted of a crime punishable by imprisonment for a term greater than one year, according to court records.

In addition, Jackson was charged with possessing a semi-automatic pistol equipped with a Glock-type conversion device, commonly known as a “machine gun conversion," according to court documents.

Both charges stem from a 2025 arrest in which Jackson crashed into several cars and tried to carjack three vehicles in an attempt to evade police on I-95 near mile marker 163 on Interstate 95 in Fairfax County, according to a Virginia State Police release.

Shortly before 11:30 a.m., on April 17, 2025, state police said a trooper saw a Hyundai Genesis pass him on the right shoulder of the interstate at a high rate of speed. As the trooper maneuvered to try to stop the Hyundai, the suspect vehicle hit three other cars, police said.

According to police, the driver — later identified as Jackson — ran from his car and tried to enter two other vehicles without success.

When Jackson found a third vehicle with the passenger window rolled down, police said he tried to enter the car through the window; however, the car's driver turned the vehicle, causing Jackson to fall and be run over.

Jackson was taken to a nearby hospital, where he was treated for a collapsed lung and a broken back and neck.

Police searched Jackson's car, authorities said, where they found narcotics, marijuana, and the modified Glock, court records say.

Each of the charges Jackson is facing carry a potential sentence of up to 10 years in prison, according to U.S. criminal statutes.

"A mandatory minimum of 15 years without parole may apply if the offender has three or more prior convictions for a violent felony or serious drug offense," the U.S. code says, on the possession of a weapon by a previously convicted felon charge.

A jury trial has been scheduled for 10 a.m. on April 20 in the U.S. District Court in Alexandria.
