UPDATE: The prosecution on Feb. 3, 2023, dropped the aggravated assault and carjacking with a firearm charges against Maurionna Nevaeh Heard. She pleaded no contest to one count of trafficking in methamphetamine and one count of possession of drug paraphernalia in connection with this case and was adjudicated guilty. Judge Terence Perkins sentenced her to three years in prison, according to court records.
ORIGINAL STORY:
A woman was arrested in connection with an armed carjacking on Jan. 21.
The suspect, Maurionna Nevaeh Heard, 21, was arrested on Jan. 25 from a home on the 2000 block of Coconut Boulevard in Bunnell. Heard was charged with carjacking with a firearm and aggravated assault while committing a first-degree felony, the arrest report said.
Though the incident occurred on Jan. 21, the victim delayed reporting it to the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office until the morning of Jan. 25 because she said she knew Heard and hoped to get her car back peacefully, according to the arrest report.
The car has not yet been recovered.
The victim said she had allowed Heard to borrow her car, a blue Kia, in the past, but Heard would not return the car now, the report said.
The woman told FCSO deputies that the day of the carjacking, it was between 11:30 p.m. and 1 a.m. and she, her boyfriend and Heard were going to a party; Heard was driving because the other two were intoxicated, according to the report.
The woman told Heard to take them home instead of to the party and Heard “became upset” and started threatening the woman and her boyfriend. Heard pulled out a gun and forced both people to get out of the Kia while it was still moving, the report said.
Deputies were able to locate Heard later in the day on Jan. 25. They did not find either the gun or the Kia when they arrested her, the report said.
Heard is associated with the “Cut Throat Gang” and a known narcotics dealer, the report said. According to her arrest history, she has previously been convicted of several drug-related and parole violation charges, as well as one written threats charge.
Along with these charges, Heard has other charges pending trial: five drug-related charges, one violation of parole charge, one tampering with evidence charge and an out of county warrant.
