A Florida Army vet is being hailed a hero online after he stopped a would-be carjacker at a Starbucks drive-thru.

Shane Spicer was in the drive-thru line at his local Starbucks when he noticed a man run to another vehicle in line and pull a pregnant woman from the driver's seat in an apparent attempt to steal her car.

Spicer sprang into action, chasing the man down and detaining him until police arrived shortly after.

He told Fox 35 Orlando:

“Just getting started with the day, had maybe been awake 20 to 25 minutes. I live about a mile from that Starbucks.”

The morning took a turn when Spicer observed the man running towards the Starbucks line.

“Sprinting up to Starbucks, and he didn’t look like a Starbucks coffee drinker."
“Then he yanked the girl out of the car. And just kind of an instinctive, kind of reactionary thing.”

The suspect was involved in a police chase after he allegedly broke into a home and stole a car. During the chase, he crashed the car and proceeded to run to the Starbucks, where he encountered Spicer.

Spicer was able to hold the man until police took him into custody.

People online commended Spicer for his bravery and for putting himself in harm's way to help others.

Spicer told Fox 35 Orlando:

“I feel like if you’ve got the ability to watch out for someone, that you should."
“I would just hope that someone would do the same for my family.”

According to Fox News, suspect Michael Prouty has been convicted of 13 felonies since 2000. He is now being charged with fleeing and eluding, attempted carjacking, crash involving Injuries, and resisting arrest.

Sumter County authorities have charged him with home invasion, battery on a person over 65, and grand theft of a vehicle.

We are lucky to have guys like Spicer looking out for us. Well done!

MAGA Senator Slammed After Scolding Americans For Whining About High Gas Prices Amid Iran War—And Wow

Kansas Republican Senator Roger Marshall chastised Americans for complaining about high gas prices and insisted they should consider that their "national security is even more important" than whatever blows are being dealt to their wallets at the gas pump.

Consumer prices are up 3.3% compared to a year ago, largely fueled by a surge in energy costs. The energy index jumped 10.9% in a single month as oil and gas prices climbed sharply. Amid the Iran war and the U.S. blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, oil has risen back to around $100 a barrel, pushing gasoline prices up by a record 25%.

X user @oatmilkanie shouted out an unidentified child who clearly got the memo when they boarded a plane and discovered that the child had written a note for the next person to sit in their seat, directly on the paper nausea bag that's snuggled in the seat pocket in front of the passenger's knees.

Woman Creeped All The Way Out After Finding Hidden Door In The Ceiling Of Her Airbnb

A lot of us already cannot sleep well when we're visiting someone else's home or staying in a hotel, because we're uncomfortable in a different bed and maybe even a little creeped out in the unusual space.

But discovering a whole other room with a creepy door would quickly transform a space from a rental to something out of a horror movie real quick for anybody.
