State senator carjacked

The Los Angeles Times reporter covering the carjacking of California Senator Don Perata must be thanking the Lord for Lt. Lawrence Green.

"The car is kind of sporty for a senator," said Oakland Police Lt. Lawrence Green. "When the captain called and described it, I said, 'We're talking about the suspect's car or the senator's car?' "

Perata, also known as the Don for his mafioso suits, drives (drove) a Dodge Charger.
