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!

Dem Rep. Offers Brutally Accurate Reason For Why He Can't Understand 'The Mind Of Donald Trump'

Massachusetts Democratic Representative Seth Moulton made a fitting observation about President Donald Trump's mind after Trump gave a 20-minute address to the nation about his war in Iran on Wednesday evening.

Trump claimed “core strategic objectives are nearing completion” in the Iran war and vowed to strike Iran "extremely hard" over the next two to three weeks. He said that he would finish the job "very fast," without setting any timeline for ending the war. He pledged to "bring them [Iranians] back to the Stone Ages, where they belong.”

Some viral videos come along that leave us unsure whether we should laugh or cry. In the case of squirrels trying to vape, crying is unfortunately the more likely outcome.

E-cigarettes have dramatically increased in popularity in recent years and are often even portrayed as a cool accessory on social media. Unfortunately, disposable, one-time-use e-cigarettes have been made affordable and easily accessible, and instead of properly disposing of them, people often leave them on the ground like cigarette butts.
