BOCA RATON, Fla. -- Police said a man who carjacked an SUV in Boca Raton drove all the way to Palm Springs before becoming lost and calling 911 on himself.

According to police reports, Claude King, 31, approached Caroline Funkey's black GMC Envoy while it was stopped at a red light in Boca Raton. The report said King smashed the driver's side window and pulled the driver out of the vehicle. Once inside, police said King began to punch the other four passengers.

One of Funkey's friends, Kellina Beach, 18, struck her head on the pavement as she fell from the SUV and had to receive stitches at Boca Raton Community Hospital, police said.


According to the report, once King got the passengers out of the SUV, he began to drive wildly around the area, finally heading southbound down Interstate 95.

Police said that, while heading southbound, King struck a white Chevrolet pickup and decided to turn around and head north. According to the report, he then struck another vehicle along the way and decided to pull over in Palm Springs.

A few minutes after the alleged carjacking, police said they received a 911 call from a pay phone in Palm Springs. It was King.

"Um, I committed a crime," King allegedly told the dispatcher. "I stole a vehicle."

When the dispatcher asked for his name, King allegedy said, "I'd rather do this: Could you just send the police over here?"

The dispatcher then asked where the stolen car was located, to which King replied, "I couldn't even tell you. I don't even know where I'm at."

Palm Springs police Officer Lt. Mark Hall said they found King sitting on the curb near the stolen SUV.

According to the police report, Boca Raton police arrested King and took him to the hospital for a swollen right hand. King was then booked into the Palm Beach County Jail, where he was being held without bail.

HOE-LEE SHIT!!!! What a dumbass....

didn't Anx start a thread a while back about this same dude?

something about some cracktacular dude from crackton.

Wasn't Caroline Funkey one of Prince's alter egos from back in the dizay? On a related note when you head up north to Pittsburgh from West Virginia there's a sign that announces a town or towns that reads 'Marianna Prosperity'. Always felt that it would be a cool title for a TTD song.
