A shocking case in Hazelwood, Missouri, has drawn widespread attention after a man who appeared to be the victim of a violent carjacking is now facing prosecution himself.
On June 24, 2022, Phillip March was brutally attacked at a QuikTrip gas station and dragged by his own car during a desperate struggle.
Despite clear video evidence showing the assault, March has been charged with property damage while his attacker has largely avoided legal accountability.
The June 2022 QuikTrip Incident
In the early hours of June 24, 2022, surveillance footage showed March arriving at a QuikTrip in Hazelwood with Jamezz Block, a longtime acquaintance. What began as a late-night stop quickly spiraled into violence:
- March walked inside the store seeking help, while Block allegedly grabbed at his car keys.
- A brutal fight broke out, with March being punched, kicked, and overpowered.
- Block snatched the keys, jumped into March’s red Mustang, and attempted to drive away.
- In desperation, March leapt through the driver’s side window to stop him, sparking a seven-minute struggle inside the moving vehicle.
- The battle ended when the car slammed into a wall behind the Hazelwood Police Department.
