A Watsonville man was arrested after a failed carjacking attempt yesterday afternoon. The car’s owner, a 40-year old Watsonville woman, left the keys in the car’s ignition at around 3 p.m. when she went to drop her kids off at the Freedom branch of the Watsonville Library, and saw a man enter and start her car. The woman was pulled into the car while she tried to take the keys away from the man, was dragged 30-feet, and was nearly run over by the carjacker. 46-year old Mark Anderson, who reportedly abandoned the car near Chappell Road and Ross Avenue off of Airport Boulevard, was arrested on suspicion of carjacking, assault, robbery and hit-and-run.
