A Georgia man recently went on a wild crime spree that included hitting two police officers with his SUV. Robbing an elderly man with dementia wasn’t enough because he was also caught digging through SUVs parked at an apartment complex. 

Georgia man robs a man with dementia and hits police officers with his SUV 

30-year-old Darion K. Smith went on a wild crime spree in Saginaw County, Georgia. He is facing 16 criminal charges that started after visiting the Bootlegger Party Store. 

According to M Live, Smith asked the clerk if the store or surrounding property had surveillance cameras. Then he left and encountered an elderly man in the parking lot. 

He pushed the old man down and stole his wallet before fleeing in an SUV. He was seen on camera with a gun sticking out of his waistband and a partial license plate was obtained from the fleeing vehicle. 

Officers released a warrant for his arrest and tried to find him. A few days later, police officers responded to an apartment complex after receiving multiple reports of a person breaking into parked cars in the parking lot. 

When the officers arrived, they discovered Smith breaking into the vehicles. They gave him loud commands, but he ignored them. 

The officers tried to prevent him from leaving, but he swung at them and managed to get in a white SUV. He hit two police officers with it as he drove away. 

Smith sped off with the headlights turned off, ran a red light, and crashed into a cement barrier. Then he slipped and fell on some ice while trying to run away. 

He was armed with a .40-caliber handgun and police found numerous stolen items from the cars at the apartment complex in the SUV. 

Smith was charged with: 

• Unarmed robbery
• Carrying a concealed weapon 
• Third-degree fleeing and eluding police 
• Breaking and entering a vehicle for over $200
• Five counts of felony firearm 
• Two counts of felony assault 
• Two counts of assaulting, resisting, or obstructing police 
• Two counts of breaking and entering a vehicle with less than $200
