MEMPHIS, TN – A Jackson, Mississippi man will spend the next nine years behind bars after a brazen armed carjacking outside Memphis last November. Un’Darius Dickerson, 24, got his sentence yesterday for the November 19th robbery, where he terrorized a woman and stole her car.

According to court papers, Dickerson, masked and carrying a rifle, approached the victim and reportedly demanded the keys, saying, “You know what this is. Give me those keys.” She complied, and Dickerson peeled off in her vehicle.

The joyride didn’t last. Southaven, MS police spotted Dickerson driving the stolen car the next day and attempted a traffic stop. Dickerson bailed, leading officers on a chase before being apprehended. He later confessed to the carjacking and helped investigators recover the firearm used in the crime.

The case was part of a larger federal push to combat violent crime in the Memphis area, a collaboration between the DOJ, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Tennessee, and local law enforcement agencies.
