Raw: Sanford mayor on armed carjacking



Triplett said one of the teenagers told him, "I will kill you," as he was ordered to the ground. One shoved a gun in his mouth, another pointed a gun at his ear.



"It was a very violent act, very scary," he said. "'I'm going to kill you.' You just don't say that. You shouldn't be able to get away with that."



Triplett said the teenagers demanded his keys and his wallet, which contained $300, his driver's license, credit cards and his mayor's badge.



"It was just a random act of violence, a crime of opportunity, a perfect storm, whatever you want to call it," Triplett said. "I happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time. They were out searching for something and they found it."
