Authorities in Washington state identified a suspect Tuesday who they say carjacked a woman and held her at knifepoint until she escaped by jumping from a moving car.
The woman had given water to Jeremy Alexksa, 31, after he approached her vehicle asking for some in an incident that began in Vancouver, Washington, early Saturday, the Clark County Sheriff's Office said in a news release.
Alexksa is expected to be charged with kidnapping, robbery and attempted eluding after he fled from officers, the sheriff's office said.
The woman, who has not been identified, told authorities that after she gave Alexksa water, she allowed him into her car.
Alexksa "produced a knife and used the threat of violence to take control of the car," the release alleged, adding that he drove roughly 15 miles, to the city of Camas.
