BRUCETON MILLS, W.Va (WDTV) - A second suspect has been arrested in connection to a Preston County carjacking.
Troy Robair Merry, 54, of Frederick, MD, has been charged with first-degree armed robbery.
Merry, along with another man, carjacked a woman at gunpoint in the Bruceton Mills area on May 15.
The alleged victim told officers she didn’t know either suspect but offered to give them a ride when they they pointed a gun at her head, according to a criminal complaint.
The woman told deputies the men forced her into the backseat, and she eventually managed to “jump out” of the car before the men fled, the complaint says.
