A man living in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, was recently accused of carjacking and was reportedly imprisoned for four days.

The victim of the carjacking is currently being charged in the case for filing a false report and causing emotional pain and financial stress to the innocent man.

Supposed Carjacking Reported

Benjamin Jesse Randolph, 22, said that a man and woman approached his car while he was on North Jefferson Circle.

Randolph told authorities the man lifted his shirt and revealed what he thought was a gun before they both got into the car and took off.

Innocent Man Becomes a Criminal

Hours later, a 51-year-old man was arrested when they found him driving Randolph’s Ford on a nearby street.

Randolph claimed he didn’t know the man or woman in the car.

However, both turned out to be close acquaintances with Randolph and claimed they were given the car by the man to borrow.

After four days, it was finally revealed that the man and woman were innocent, he was released from jail and charges were dropped.
