BIRMINGHAM – A federal grand jury indicted a Birmingham man
for a November 5, 2018 carjacking announced U.S. Attorney Jay E. Town and FBI
Special Agent in Charge Johnnie Sharp, Jr.
Corderrel Dwayne Poole, 32, is charged in a one-count
indictment filed in U.S. District Court with taking the victim’s SUV by
violence and intimidation at a business on Green Springs Highway in Homewood,
Alabama. Poole was apprehended the same
evening by the Lincoln Police Department at the scene of a one-vehicle crash on
Interstate 20 in Talladega County.
“The U.S. Attorney’s Office encourages citizens to be
vigilant in the parking areas of businesses they visit and commends the
individuals who came forward to assist the victim after she was forcibly
removed from her vehicle,” Town said.
“Thanks to the work of the Homewood Police Department, Lincoln Police
Department, and Alabama Law Enforcement Agency for their efforts in bringing
this investigation to a quick conclusion.”
The maximum penalty for carjacking is 15 years in prison and
a $250,000 fine.
The FBI investigated the case along with the Homewood Police
Department, Lincoln Police Department and Alabama Law Enforcement Agency. Assistant U.S. Attorney Alan Baty is
prosecuting the case.
An indictment contains only charges. A defendant is presumed innocent unless and
until proven guilty.
