The boy left the area after unsuccessful attempts to carjack. Another reported an attempted carjacking about an hour later.
Deputies linked the case to an 11-year-old boy. In his room, the detective found what he described as “a small replica handgun, which was determined to be a novel writer.”
The boy was charged with two counts of a carjack armed with a firearm and an armed robber with a firearm.
