ARMED CARJACKERS ARRESTED AFTER CHASE

On Thursday, June 10, 2021, Marion County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to the Kwik King in the 5800 block of NW 44th Ave in reference to a carjacking.  The victim stated was putting air in a spare tire when he was approached by a black female wearing a shower cap, who was later identified as 18-year-old Tanya Denson, and she began asking him questions.  While answering her questions he noticed a black male, later identified as 17-year-old Milad Boroojeni, putting his hands on the door handle of the victim’s vehicle.  The victim informed Boroojeni that the vehicle belonged to him, at which time Boroojeni lifted his shirt eluding to having a weapon in his waistband and stated it was his car now.  Boroojeni and Denson got into the victim’s vehicle and drove off. 
 
The stolen vehicle was tracked down to the Pilot on SW Highway 484 and deputies responded to apprehend the suspects.  When deputies located the vehicle, Boroojeni intentionally rammed Deputy Archuleta’s driver’s side door and then fled on foot; after a foot pursuit he was ultimately apprehended.  However, Denson moved to the driver’s seat and fled in the stolen vehicle at a high rate of speed.  A short time later, Deputy Grey was able to locate Denson and another pursuit ensued. 
 
Once Air-One was able to have a lock on Denson, deputies backed off and followed at a safe distance.  Denson’s tires eventually disintegrated and the vehicle was disabled.  Deputies were able to take Denson into custody.  After interviews with detectives, Boroojeni was being escorted to jail, and appeared to feel this was all a joke… It’s disappointing to know there are individuals who find it funny after they carjack a citizen and ram police vehicles.  None of the rest of us found this at all amusing.
 
Boroojeni was charged with Aggravated Assault on an Officer, Carjacking with a Firearm, and Resisting Arrest.
Denson was charged with Aggravated Fleeing with Damage and Carjacking with Firearm.
