[QUOTE="KPRC2, post: 24400, member: 148"] A 31-year-old Houston man was indicted for carjacking and illegally possessing and discharging a firearm, U.S. Attorney Jennifer B. Lowery announced Wednesday. A federal grand jury returned the three-count indictment against Zachary Smith. Previously in state custody on related charges, he is expected to make his initial appearance before a U.S. magistrate judge on the federal indictment in the near future. The charges allege that on Feb. 6, Smith discharged a firearm while stealing a vehicle from the parking lot of a washateria on Melbourne Drive. He was also allegedly involved in a shooting on Feb. 7 on the 2000 block of Broadway Street. On that day, Smith led law enforcement in a pursuit that came to an end when he crashed into a patrol unit, according to the charges. The indictment alleges that he is a previous felon and is prohibited from possessing firearms per federal law. If convicted, Smith faces up to life for discharging the firearm during a crime of violence, 15 years for the carjacking and a maximum of 10 years for being a felon in possession of a firearm.
