Florida Mayor Carjacked at Gunpoint

Two suspects accused in the robbery and carjacking of the mayor of Sanford early Saturday morning have been arrested, officials say.

 
According to investigators, Sanford Mayor Jeff Triplett was standing outside a friend's home on Chapman Avenue at 2:14 a.m. Saturday when he was forced to the ground by 18-year-old Jermine Horne and a 17-year-old accomplice, who then threatened to kill him.
 
A third person was also with the duo, but it's not clear what his role was or if he will be charged with a crime.
 
Police say Horne and the 17-year-old were both armed. The duo is accused of stealing the mayor's wallet which held $300 in cash, two credit cards, a bank card and Triplett's city identification card.
 
The suspects are also accused of stealing the keys to Triplett's 2012 Mercedes-Benz ML350 and using the vehicle as a getaway car.
