Manatee County sheriff’s deputies were dispatched to multiple calls Aug. 27 regarding an attempted burglary and carjacking in Anna Maria.
Camren Fambrough, 21, of Canton, Georgia, was arrested and faces charges of carjacking with a weapon, burglary, criminal mischief and resisting arrest.
According to MCSO reports and court records, a man attempted to gain entry to an occupied home in the 200 block of Magnolia Avenue by hurling a rock at the door and then trying to open the door.
An occupant heard the commotion and called 911. As the occupant looked out a window, the man hurled another rock, this time shattering the front window.
The man then ran to the corner of Magnolia Avenue and Gulf Drive, where he attempted to force his way into a vehicle that had stopped at a stop sign.
When the motorist attempted to drive away, the man punched the vehicle’s driver-side window.
Deputies arrived and, after a scuffle, detained Fambrough, who was carrying a knife.
Two people identified Fambrough as the man involved in the attempted burglary and carjacking.
If convicted of carjacking with a weapon, Fambrough would face up to 30 years in prison.
If convicted of burglary, he would face a prison term of 15 years.
If convicted of criminal mischief, Fambrough would face up to five years in prison.
Fambrough posted a $17,500 bond and his arraignment will be at 9 a.m. Friday, Sept. 23, at the Manatee County Judicial Center, 1051 Manatee Ave. W., Bradenton.
