A man wanted on carjacking, kidnapping and burglary charges in Anne Arundel County was arrested yesterday in California after allegedly running from police, trying to carjack someone in a parking lot and being captured in a concrete riverbed, authorities said.
Scott Corey Coale, 24, who formerly lived on Coale Lane in Crownsville, is accused of participating in a botched burglary in Odenton in December, then carjacking a Millersville woman and forcing her to drive him to Glen Burnie to elude police.
An anonymous tipster called Anne Arundel police Monday night to report Coale's location at a motel in Pomona, a community in western Los Angeles County, said Lt. Jeffrey Silverman, an Anne Arundel police spokesman. Authorities contacted their counterparts in California, who sent officers to the motel.
