PBCSO Lieutenant's Son Steals Car To Terrorize Ex-Girlfriend, Police Say

A Palm Beach County lieutenant's son was arrested Saturday after allegedly stealing his father's car to terrorize his ex-girlfriend and her new boyfriend.

Christopher Combs, 22, now faces charges of false imprisonment and impersonating a law enforcement officer.

According to police, Combs was driving his father's PBSO-issued vehicle early Saturday when he pulled over his ex-girlfriend, Jamie DiCarlo, and her boyfriend, Robert Roberts, near Pompano Beach. 

Combs ordered Roberts out of his pickup truck.

DiCarlo told Broward Sheriff's Office deputies that Combs ordered Roberts to get on the ground and empty his pockets.

Combs allegedly placed "what appeared to be a metal object to the back of Mr. Roberts' head, before stealing his property," according to an arrest report. 

DiCarlo said she was also ordered out of the car and onto the ground. 

DiCarlo told deputies that she dated Combs, who is a PBSO cadet, for about five years and recently broke up with him.

Combs' father later told deputies that his son had the car, which was parked at a friend's house. He said his son told him that it "had not moved all day."

Deputies went to where the car was parked and noticed that it "was still hot to the touch as if it was recently driven."

Combs admitted that he was in possession of the car at the time of the robbery, but he denied ever driving it that day.
