JSO: Man driving car toward police shot multiple times, asked for cigarette after crawling from car
A man who police say accelerated his car toward officers was shot in the face several times in an officer-involved shooting on Tuesday afternoon in Oceanway.
It happened on Gossett Street, which is near North Main Street and Duval Station Road.
Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office Chief Allen Parker said an officer was following up on a traffic stop they conducted last week.
The officer was familiar with the suspect, 29-year-old Michael Youmans, Parker said.
Sgt. Ben Mcewan, who was with the officer, followed Youmans, who backed his car up to a fence.
Mcewan asked Youmans to put his hands up, and Youmans reversed his car back a few feet.
Parker said Mcewan asked Youmans to stop the car, and Mcewan then fired shots after Youmans began to accelerate toward him.
Youmans came out of the car, crawling and “asking for a cigarette,” Parker said.
Parker said that Youmans was taken to the hospital and is stabilized.
Youmans’ criminal history includes charges of theft, drug possession, resisting arrest with and without violence, fleeing and eluding, burglary, and trespassing.

Should have led with that, Mr. Youmans, and saved a trip to the hospital. Thanks for the link, Gun Bunny.

Granted, High Point guns have always been ugly, reliable and cheap.
But these latest guns…..did they have to deliberately uglify them? Damn!
Kill-o-zap principle. Added lethality and intimidation through sheer ugliness.
They had to make it fugly, Tox, ’cause they knew that they were leading The Gun Bunny into temptation by making it in God’s Holy Caliber. Howsomeever…life’s too short to be burdened by fugly gunz.
Doesn’t Mr. Youmans know that smoking is hazardous to his health? So is taking a vehicle to a gunfight. He shoulda done something else…to save face.
My buddy has the carbine version in 45 ACP, shoots well, says the stock sights are worthless but with a cheap reflex sight, it’s a good truck gun. Still ugly as homemade sin, though!
Not as ugly as that recent cassette player thing but still
not as pretty as a 1911A1, the most copied design evah.
“asking for a cigarette,”
