A teen accused of armed robbery and carjacking had his trial continued last week.
Police say 19-year-old Jason Blackman Jr. was one of two identified following a report of two armed men stealing another man’s truck at gunpoint in December of 2021.
An Elkhart County deputy reportedly found the stolen truck and attempted to pull it over, but the driver allegedly led police on a three-mile chase ending on C.R. 13 when the truck hit a utility pole in the NAPA Auto Parts parking lot.
The Goshen News says the two reportedly fled the scene on foot before being taken into custody. Blackman’s trial was continued to June 16.

How is a 19 year old considered a teen? Try him as an adult with adult prison time.
