House Democrat Mary Gay Scanlon Carjacked at Gunpoint in Philadelphia

Joshua Caplan 22 Dec 2021

Rep. Mary Gay Scanlon (D-PA) was carjacked at gunpoint in Philadelphia and was left unharmed on Wednesday, her office said in a statement.

Philadelphia Police said the incident occurred at 2:45 P.M. EST on the 1900 block of Pattison Avenue in FDR Park following a tour which included fellow Congress members.

6 ABC reports:

Scanlon was walking to her parked vehicle and was approached by two men driving a dark-colored SUV. Both men, who were armed, demanded the keys to her vehicle, police say. They took off with her blue 2017 Acura MDX with license plate LKG-8893. It was last seen being driven westbound on Pattison toward Penrose.

“She thanks the Philadelphia Police Department for their swift response, and appreciates the efforts of both the Sergeant at Arms in D.C. and her local police department for coordinating with Philly PD to ensure her continued safety,” Lauren Cox, a spokesperson for Scanlon, said in a statement.

Teen Scanlon carjacker has other pending criminal charges

Police have arrested five people in connection with the carjacking of Rep. Mary Gay Scanlon in broad daylight yesterday in Philadelphia. The five criminals are all teenagers. They range in age from 13 (yes, 13) to 19.

Reportedly, they have written an apology letter to Scanlon, so there would seem to be no doubt about their guilt. Also, the gang’s leader had Scanlon’s car keys in his possession when the police arrested him.

The leader of the gang is Josiah Brown. He’s age 19 and therefore an adult for purposes of prosecution. According to reports, Brown is the one who pointed a gun at Scanlon. He claims the gun wasn’t loaded.

Brown is no stranger to the criminal justice system. He has been charged twice with crimes, once in Delaware and once in Pennsylvania. One of the charges was brought just a few months ago, in August.
