DeLAND, Fla. - Two men carjacked a 93-year-old woman and dragged her 20 feet Thursday morning while she was on her way to church, the DeLand Police Department said.
The duo shoved the woman to the ground and took her keys at about 8:15 a.m. outside Saint Peter Catholic Church at West New York Avenue and North Delaware Avenue, city spokesman Chris Graham said.
Investigators said the carjackers drove the Chrysler erratically as officers followed them. They said the men drove through yards before crashing the car in a wooded area at West Winnemissett Avenue and South High Street.
David Leo Perkins III, 21, of Daytona Beach, and Darius Matthews, 20, were arrested not long after ditching the wrecked vehicle, Graham said.
Investigators said the victim, Maraquita Steinmetz, of DeLand, was on her way to daily mass when she was attacked. They said she held on to the car as long as she could before letting go.
Police said Steinmetz had some cuts and bruises, but she wasn't seriously injured.
