The man who carjacked an SUV with two children inside on the Northwest Side over the weekend left his parole slip near the hijacking scene, prosecutors said during a bond hearing Monday. Omar Soto, 28, was ordered held without bail by Judge Susana Ortiz.

According to police and prosecutors, the chain of events began around 11 p.m. Saturday when Soto t-boned another car while driving near the 4800 block of West Fullerton. Soto ran from his car and climbed into the driver’s seat of a GMC Acadia that was parked on a nearby Walgreens parking lot. Its owner had left it running with her 14-year-old daughter and one-year-old son inside while she went into the store, Assistant State’s Attorney Loukas Kalliantasis said.

The 14-year-old, who was seated in the front passenger seat, told Soto that he was in the wrong car, but he ignored her and drove away with the kids, according to Kalliantasis. After pleading with Soto to let her and the baby out of the car, the teen Facetimes with her mother, and Soto tried to take her phone away, Kalliantasis said.

Soto stopped the car after a few minutes and told the girl to get out. When she didn’t, he grabbed her by the hair, dragged her across the center console, and pulled her out through the driver’s door, Kalliantasis alleged. Soto allegedly returned to the car and drove away with the one-year-old.

Was the perpetrator drunk or drugged at the time or mentally disturbed? His series of actions seem incredibly reckless and stupid.

You haven't known many criminals, have you, Ax? Reckless and stupid are bywords for so many of them. Most crimes like this are not pre-planned, but momentary opportunism.
