TAMPA, Fla. (WWSB) - A Hillsborough County building inspector was seriously injured when he tried to stop a woman from stealing his truck, authorities said.
The Hillsborough County Sheriff Office says the inspector left his county truck running Dec. 27 as he inspected a new home.
Deputies say McKenya Thomas, 22, jumped into the truck to steal it. The inspector also entered the vehicle to prevent the theft, but was thrown from the truck as she sped off.
The inspector suffered life-threatening injuries, but is now at Tampa General Hospital and is expected to recover.
Later that day, Thomas, still driving the truck, was spotted in Madison County, east of Tallahassee. A Florida Highway Patrol trooper was able to stop the truck by hitting it with his vehicle, forcing Thomas to stop.
Thomas is charged with carjacking, grand theft motor vehicle, two counts of resisting an officer, and reckless driving.
Why the hell did the worker leave the truck running? It’s Tampa in late December. It was mid-60s there on the 27th. No need for heater or A/C.
McKenya? Do I even need to look?

Mama, let me be
Lol!
Yep, sadly, some crimes are crimes of opportunity.
It’s “interesting” (for lack of a better word) that there isn’t a single neuron devoted to weighing the consequences of choosing a particular course of action. I suppose I could say that about the inspector as well, so I will get that in.
Really, this gal thinks she will get to some better state of being or advantage by driving around a truck that will be reported stolen in mere minutes.....unless she kills the inspector by running over him...or that she will be scoring some kind of racial triumph over the dumb inspector by stealing his truck.
Hard to fathom the thinking, assuming there is some.
Fire the inspector.
You can’t fix stupid.
A girl has to get drug money some how huh.
