\nA Louisville man will spend more than 10 years in federal prison for a carjacking at a dealership in Fern Creek. <\/p>\n
\nA Louisville man will spend more than 10 years in federal prison for a carjacking at a dealership in Fern Creek. <\/p>\n
A judge sentenced 23 year-old Corey Buford to 10 years and five months in prison for holding a Kearney Moto Sports employee at gunpoint and stealing a BMW in April 2022.<\/p>\n
The incident was caught on video. An employee at the car dealership said he claimed he was interested in purchasing a car, but didn’t have a way to get to the lot and requested a ride. <\/p>\n
When an employee showed up to get Buford in a different vehicle, he wasn’t there. <\/p>\n
The next day, Buford showed up at the dealership, and employees showed him the car he asked about the day before. The dealership doesn’t allow potential buyers to test drive a vehicle until a valid drivers license is presented and a credit check completed. Employees said Buford was avoiding presenting a license and completing the credit check. <\/p>\n
Buford later asked the sales representative, who was showing him the vehicle, if she could unlock the door because he forgot his lighter. When she did, police said Buford pulled a gun and demanded the keys.<\/p>\n
Video appeared to show the suspect point the gun at the woman, take the keys and then cock the gun after she runs away, before he gets in the car.<\/p>\n
Buford was arrested later that evening after police said he was seen coming out of a home near Louisville’s Smoketown neighborhood. When they took him into custody, they allegedly found a handgun and clothes similar to those used in the robbery. <\/p>\n
Court documents showed Buford admitted to the robbery, and officers found the stolen vehicle near his home.<\/p>\n
When Buford gets out of prison, he will have five years of supervised release. Attorneys said his sentence includes his conviction for “brandishing a firearm during the commission of a crime of violence, a crime that carries a mandatory sentence of 84 months consecutive to the sentenced imposed for the carjacking.”<\/p>\n
There is no parole in the federal system.
