The suspect

believed responsible for a carjacking at the Fayette Pavilion Wal-Mart

has been arrested.

For a time,

it was questionable whether Miguel Sanchez Vasquez would survive injuries

he received when he wrecked Pamela Davidson's vehicle as he fled the scene.

But Vasquez has recovered, according to Fayetteville police spokesman

Lt. Tom Kirkbride.

Vasquez, 25,

of Forest Park, was arrested Sept. 7. He is charged with kidnapping, theft

occurred during the early morning hours of July 8.

to arrest Vasquez until a later date, it kept the city from being stuck

with the suspect's steep medical bills.

Davidson told

police the suspect forced her into the vehicle and drove away, but she

was able to escape by jumping out of the vehicle. A Fayetteville police

officer attempted to follow the vehicle after noticing it moments later

and suspecting its driver was intoxicated. The officer followed the vehicle

out of the city limits and discovered the wrecked Ford Explorer further

north on Ga. Highway 85, according to police.
