When the carjacking took place, one of the deputies was suspended in the bucket.

A carjacking suspect was arrested on suspicion of child endangerment and evading arrest Tuesday after he allegedly led police on a brief chase with two children in his vehicle and then crashed into another car.

Authorities determined the carjacking was nothing more than a hoax with a goal of quick cash by way of insurance fraud, sheriff officials said.

During a wild pursuit Monday, a carjacking suspect slammed into two patrol cars, causing one to strike a nearby home, and rolled the stolen vehicle, authorities said.

His previous felony convictions for robbery and carjacking prohibited him from possessing firearms.
