Simulation with AnyLogic/Pedestrian Simulation/Step 1. Creating a new model
Step 1. Creating a New ModelEdit
First, we will create a new model.
- Click the New toolbar button. The New Model dialog box is displayed.
- Specify the name of the model. In the Model name edit box, type Subway Entrance.
- Specify the location where you want to store your model file. Browse for the existing folder using the Browse button, or type the name of the folder you want to create in the Location edit box.
- Click Next. This will open the next page of the New Model wizard. Here you can choose, whether you want to start creating a new model from scratch, or to use a model template as a starting point in model development. Since we want to explain you the whole process of creating a model in details, we will not use a template, but will create our model from scratch.
- Click Finish to complete the process.
New model is created. It already has one active object class called Main and experiment called Simulation. Active objects are the main building blocks of AnyLogic model. They can be used to model very diverse objects of the real world.
In the center of the workspace you will see the graphical editor. It shows the diagram of the Main class. By default it does not contain any elements.
To the left of the graphical editor you can see the Project view. The Project view provides access to AnyLogic models currently opened in the workspace. The workspace tree provides easy navigation throughout the models.
On the right side of the workspace you can see the Palette view, and at the bottom - the Properties view. The Palette view simplifies the process of drawing diagrams, providing the list of model elements grouped by categories in a number of stencils. The Properties view is used to view and modify the properties of a currently selected model item(s). When you select something – e.g., in the Project view or in a graphical editor – the Properties view displays the properties of the selection.
When working with a model, do not forget to save it by clicking Save .

LOS ANGELES, CA – Kanye West was banned from tonight's Haiti benefit telethon. West has decided to hold his own one-man benefit instead.
Tonight George Clooney will helm a telethon to benefit Haiti, which will air on several networks. Dozens of stars are scheduled to appear and help raise money for relief funds. Kanye West however has been expressly banned from event by Clooney himself. "If he shows up and tries to make this benefit about him" said Clooney "I'm gonna teach that guy some manners."
Kanye West has a history of derailing benefits and ceremonies. Most recently West came under fire for interrupting Taylor Swift's VMA acceptance speech to tell the world she didn't deserve the award. During a Hurricane Katrina benefit In 2005 Kanye went off script and said, "George Bush doesn't care about black people." In 2007 he appeared at the national spelling bee and took the microphone from young Padma Hareswara mid-word to ask why all the finalists were Asian and there weren't more black kids in the competition. Then he went on a ten minute rant about how he had unfair disadvantages in school.
With all these incidents in mind Kanye West has been banned from tonight's benefit telethon. Organizers have even gotten a restraining order against Kanye for the evening, and security details have been ordered to subdue him on sight. Speaking to the issue of tonight's telethon West said "Yeah, that's fine. Let them have their thing. I'll do my own benefit for Haiti. Kanye style!"
This evening Kanye West will be holding his own one-man benefit from his basement studio. "And this one's gonna be off the chain 'cause it's all Kanye the whole time! It's gonna be like the poetry of Maya Angelou, set to a beat that makes you wanna get freaky on the dance floor." Kanye is scheduled to spend 45 minutes performing out of his private studio, then spend 2 hours having a round table discussion with himself using several upright mirrors. Due to the last minute nature of his decision to do this, and a possible anti-Kanye bias in the entertainment community, West was only able to purchase air time on a local LA cable access station. "I am the victim of a conspiracy!" said Kanye. "But let the haters hate and schemers scheme, we will still ascend to greatness!"
George Clooney's telethon will be on many channels this evening at 8pm. West will be performing in his basement alone surrounded by mirrors at 10pm.

Celtics squander 22-point lead, lose home opener to Bucks
Vitor Faverani has 12 points, 18 rebounds, 6 blocks for Boston
Zaza Pachulia had 20 points and nine rebounds, making two free throws with 44 seconds left to give Milwaukee its first lead since the opening basket, and the Bucks rallied from a 22-point third-quarter deficit to beat the Boston Celtics 105-98 on Friday night.
The loss spoiled the home debut of new Celtics coach Brad Stevens and dampened the cheer following the Red Sox victory in the World Series on Wednesday. Red Sox owners John Henry and Tom Werner took the court before the game with the World Series trophy, and Hall of Famer Bill Russell was also courtside a few hours after a statue of him was unveiled near City Hall.
John Henson had 14 points and nine rebounds for the Bucks, who scored the last 10 points of the game.
Vitor Faverani scored 12 points with 18 rebounds for Boston. Brandon Bass and Jeff Green each had nine rebounds for the Celtics, who scored 20 of the first 26 points in the game and led 72-50 with 19 minutes to play.
But Milwaukee scored 11 of the last 14 points in the third quarter and then tied it 93-all with a 20-10 run to start the fourth. After Gerald Wallace hit a 3-pointer to give Boston back the lead, the teams traded free throws and then the Bucks scored the next 10 points.
Milwaukee made 10 straight free throws to end the game, including two by Pachulia that made it 99-98.
It was the first regular-season home game for the Celtics, who traded Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett to the Brooklyn Nets over the summer and sent coach Doc Rivers to the Los Angeles Clippers. Stevens replaced Rivers, making his NBA debut about a week after his 37th birthday.
Injured point guard Rajon Rondo took over Pierce's usual role of speaking to the fans before the opener. Wearing a suit and tie and a fake beard - a tribute to the Red Sox - Rondo welcomed the fans before taking a seat on the bench for the rest of the game.
Rondo, who is recovering from a torn ACL in his right knee, is not expected to play for at least a month. The Celtics aren't expected to be competitive until he returns, which is OK with the fans who want them to earn a high pick in what is said to be the deepest NBA draft in years.
Boston came out and scored 16 of the first 20 points in the game and never led by less than seven points until the fourth-quarter collapse, when they were outscored 34-15. Faverani had 11 rebounds at halftime and Green had 11 points.
NOTES: Celtics PG Avery Bradley was evaluated for a concussion on Friday but was cleared to play. ... Bucks PG Brandon Knight, who strained his right hamstring 2 minutes into Milwaukee's opener, did not play. ... Russell sat courtside. ... Boston's Jared Sullinger returned from a one-game suspension after he was charged with domestic violence. The charges were dismissed by a judge.

A Budget LS Truck Accessory Bracket Mod
By now, most car crafters probably know the drill around LS engine accessory drives. There are three basic configurations: the Corvette drive having the shortest depth, the older F-car (Camaro and Firebird) system that was next longest, and the truck accessory drive having the greatest depth and the tallest configuration of alternator and power-steering pump. There are a few other offshoots, but these are still the three main drives. The truck systems are by far the easiest to obtain and the least expensive. While the truck version is admittedly tall, it will still fit under most muscle-car hood lines when doing a budget LS engine conversion. One major limitation with the truck drive is that it won't combine with an LS1 or LS2 Camaro/Corvette factory EFI intake. The low inlet on these intakes collides with the truck accessory drive's idler pulley and the water pump. If you use a carbureted-style intake, this wasn't a problem, but if your plan is to use a factory-style intake, the pulley and water pump prevented this—until now.
We were surfing the web for parts the other day when we ran across LSBrackets.com, owned by Darrin Gartrell. The one product that immediately jumped out at us was an idler-relocation bracket that, with a little aluminum trimming, positions a new location for the idler pulley. This modification, along with a new F-car water pump and spacers, creates the room to use a Camaro/Corvette intake with the truck accessory drive. The best part is that it's a simple conversion. While the initial bracket is only $30, you will need an early ('00 model year) F-car water pump, spacers, a new belt, and an F-car tensioner. These parts do add up to roughly $250 (plus shipping), but it's an easy conversion and much less expensive than a custom system. For us, the simple ideas are always the best.
LS Brackets also makes a pure aftermarket bracket that mounts the alternator and power-steering pump much like the factory Corvette accessory drive with the power-steering pump below the alternator. This kit is adaptable to any of the current depth configurations just by changing the length of the spacers. If you're looking for an inexpensive way to use either a factory truck accessory drive or a completely standalone aftermarket system, you should check out LSBrackets.com.

Simply by trimming the truck bracket, relocating the idler pulley, and using spacers to employ an F-car water pump, you can use a truck accessory bracket with a passenger-car LS1 or LS2 intake manifold.
We trimmed the stock truck bracket using a bandsaw. You could use a hacksaw or a cut-off wheel, but the bandsaw leaves a much cleaner cut.
This is the new idler pulley mount and spacer kit from LS Brackets. It locates using two of the stock truck bracket bolts.
The truck's water-pump outlet is also an obstruction, so LS Brackets offers this water-pump spacer kit complete with new gaskets and longer Allen bolts. The spacers relocate the F-car water pump to align the pulley with the deeper truck orientation. This also requires an F-car tensioner. We obtained both the water pump and tensioner from RockAuto and saved more than $75 compared to our local auto parts chain store price, even with the shipping cost.
LS Brackets supplied a belt, but we discovered ours was just a touch short because our engine was equipped with the larger-diameter, 145-amp alternator. LS Brackets listed a 12-inch-longer belt, which we obtained from RockAuto. While the F-car manifold is a tight fit, it does clear and offers a low-budget alternative to more expensive custom serpentine systems. We discovered the stock power-steering pulley is too large to clear a Chevelle steering box. A smaller pulley can be used to clear the box, which will require a shorter belt.
You will need a power-steering pump puller/installer tool to remove and install the power-steering pump pulley. This is necessary because it is nearly impossible to access the pump bolts unless the pulley is removed. This is Harbor Freight's tool that we've used several times with great success.
LS Brackets offers several complete kits for truck engines that will create a Corvette accessory orientation while retaining the truck balancer and allow the use of a passenger-car-style intake. Beyond the LS Brackets kit (PN 0203), you will need an F-car water pump, belt tensioner, and a new belt. This is what the kit looks like on our 5.3L in a Chevelle chassis.

McLoughlin, John
McLoughlin, John məglŏkh´lĭn, –glôf´lĭn [key], 1784–1857, Canadian-American fur trader in Oregon, b. Rivière du Loup, near Quebec. A physician and then a trader, he was (1824–46) chief agent and administrator of the Hudson's Bay Company in the Columbia River country, when it was hotly disputed by British and Americans. McLoughlin used his power to monopolize and expand trade and to maintain peace with Native Americans. Recognizing the rich farming potential of the Willamette valley, he helped French Canadians to settle there and urged a land colonization scheme on the Hudson's Bay Company. At Fort Vancouver (now Vancouver, Wash.), his headquarters after 1825, aid and shelter were given to American adventurers, missionaries, and settlers. In 1849 he became a U.S. citizen.

text: Surgeon's daughter Cerys, who was brought up in Pembrokeshire and speaks fluent Welsh, first showed signs of her musical talents aged nine when she learned to play the guitar, teaching herself blues and Irish folk songs. After leaving school she spent time working as a nanny in Spain - where she learned to speak Spanish and Catalan before moving to Cardiff. There she met boyfriend Mark Roberts, with whom she formed Catatonia at the age of 23. The band enjoyed phenomenal success in the Nineties, with Cerys' husky vocals and confident persona making her an instant sex symbol. Not long after the release of their fourth album in 2001 the group disbanded, after Cerys and Matthew split up. She found love again with Nashville-based music producer Seth Riddle and relocated to the US town to make a solo album and build a life with him. The couple married and had two children, Glenys Pearl Y-Felin and Johnny Tupelo Jones, but the union broke down and Cerys returned to Wales with the children. In 2007 the singer surprised fans by announcing she would be entering the jungle in reality show Im A Celebrity…, saying she felt compelled to do it "just to see exactly how it feels".

RITA Award-winner Anne McAllister was born in California, spent formative summer vacations on the beach near her home and on her grandparents' small ranch in Colorado and visiting relatives in Montana. Studying the cowboys, the surfers and the beach volleyball players, she spent long hours developing her concept of "the perfect hero." (Have you noticed a lack of hard-driving Type A businessmen among them? Well, she promises to do one soon, just for a change!).
One thing she did do, early on, was develop a weakness for lean, dark-haired, handsome lone-wolf type guys. When she finally found one, he was in the university library where she was working at the time. It didn't matter. She knew a good man when she saw one.
And they've now been sharing "happily ever afters" for 32 years. They presently have four children, four dogs, and one bionic cat who, contrary to all expectations, is working on his second millennium.
Quite a few years ago they moved to the Midwest, but they spend more and more time in Montana. And as Anne says, she lives there in her head most of the time anyway. She wishes a small town like her very own Elmer, Montana, existed. She'd move there in a minute.
Before she started writing romances, Anne taught Spanish, capped deodorant bottles, copyedited textbooks, got a master's degree in theology, and ghostwrote sermons.
It all became grist for the fictional mill — as has the family history she likes to learn more about every chance she gets. She might have to try her hand at that historical, after all — especially now that she's learned more about that second great-grandfather who claims to have shot 40 men!
In the meantime, though, she is planning more contemporary Code of the West books for Silhouette Desire and Special Edition, as well as a single-title Code of the West book coming in early 2002, and a trilogy for Mills & Boon Modern Romance beginning in August 2000. Keep your eye on both series as characters from each are going to start popping up in each other's books!

Of the movies I've been looking at so far, and those I'll feature next, Chisum (1970) is the only one where the Kid is not one of the main characters. That's not to say he doesn't play a significant role in the story, just that he's not the one viewers are asked to focus on. First and foremost, this is a John Wayne film – he plays the title character, one of the prime movers in the Lincoln County War, and the plot revolves around him. I've always enjoyed this picture even though I'm aware it's no classic – it's solid, entertaining and, for the most part, well made.
The film tells its version of the Lincoln County War and, in particular, the role played by John S Chisum (John Wayne). The title character is presented here as a heroic pioneer whose patriarchal position sees him drawn into conflict with Murphy (Forrest Tucker) over not only the latter's expansionist plans but also his casual disregard for the livelihoods of Lincoln's less influential citizens. As the stirring opening credits fade there's the image of Chisum sitting magisterially astride his mount and surveying all the vast territory he has conquered. All would seem well with the world, despite the dark mutterings of his old friend Pepper (Ben Johnson), as long as this weathered cattle baron holds sway over the territory. However, Murphy's men are already stoking the fires by masterminding raids on Chisum's herd. An early confrontation with a group of hired rustlers leads to a shootout and the first contact between Chisum and the Kid (Geoffrey Deuel). Billy's reputation precedes him and Chisum regards him with wariness in spite of the hearty recommendation of fellow rancher Tunstall (Patric Knowles). Whatever reservations he may have are driven to the sidelines by the continued sniping attacks of Murphy and the corrupt lawmen and hired guns he's got working for him. More men and guns are drifting into Lincoln and the scene seems set for all out war between the two factions. As the situation deteriorates the Tunstall/Chisum ranks are bolstered by the arrival of an ex-buffalo hunter named Pat Garrett (Glenn Corbett). The movie doesn't really lay out any specific rivalry between Garrett and the Kid – save for an insipid and wholly unnecessary romantic triangle involving Chisum's neice – except to show that Garrett's older and more experienced man has chosen a path that's governed by caution as opposed to the Kid's impulsiveness. When Tunstall is murdered by Murphy's hirelings the fat is very definitely in the fire; Billy embarks on a killing spree to avenge his boss, and Chisum (who's still shielding the Kid discreetly) sees himself pushed to the limit too. The climax comes with a potted and compressed version of the Battle of Lincoln that's only brought to an end by the intervention of Chisum and a spectacular cattle stampede that he orchestrates.
Both the strengths and weaknesses of Chisum can be seen in the casting. Both Wayne and Forrest Tucker butt heads impressively as the two hard men at the centre of the storm. I remember hearing or reading a comment once that Tucker was one of the most graceful riders ever to mount a horse, but he does none of that here. He's the manipulative businessman quietly pulling the strings and calling in favours, but he does so with a craftiness and cunning that's a lot of fun to watch. Wayne, in contrast, is the typical outdoors individualist with a simple philosophy and a straightforward approach to dealing with problems. It's one of Wayne's most enjoyable late career roles; it may not be his best but his massive screen presence is used to great effect and he does bring real warmth to his character. On the other hand, the younger stars – Glenn Corbett and Geoffrey Deuel – are just about adequate as Garrett and the Kid. Corbett probably comes off better by being on the "right" side and getting the more sympathetic handling whereas Deuel's Kid is little more than a cypher who flits in and out of the action to knock off whoever's next in line. Once again the support cast, consisting of a virtual who's who of western players, comes to the rescue. Ben Johnson's part is not a huge one but his long acquaintance with the Duke means that the scenes they share have a kind of easy going charm and are full of good-natured humour. For the others, just reading through the list of names – Patric Knowles, Bruce Cabot, Richard Jaeckel, Ray Teal, Hank Worden et al – should give an indication of the depth of talent involved. Like many of Andrew V McLaglen's pictures, Chisum is a mix of the good and the not so good. The action scenes are generally well handled but the tacked on romance is both poorly conceived and badly executed. There's also an unwelcome tendency to indulge in cheap looking, TV movie style zooms at inappropriate moments. Having said that, William Clothier's photography and Dominic Frontiere's score help offset some of the other technical shortcomings.
The UK DVD of Chisum from Warners offers a nice, sharp anamorphic scope transfer that boasts strong colour and a clean image. The disc has a short feature on the making of the film and a commentary track with the director. The movie itself isn't one of the great westerns and it has plenty of historical goofs – for example, Chisum's fictitious stampede to halt the Battle of Lincoln, and the violent deaths of Murphy and Jesse Evans – yet it's one with a high rewatch value. In fact, it's one of those pictures that I used to test drive movie guides in the past. Reviews are, by necessity, subjective and it's hard to lay your hands on those volumes that are likely to suit one's own tastes. I once hit upon the method of browsing guides to see what they had to say about a selection of films that I knew were no classics but still pleased me. Chisum was almost always among the choices. If the reviewer trashed the movie then it wasn't for me; if, on the other hand, it got a generally positive but guarded write up then it was probably one I could depend on. As such, that's still more or less the way I view this picture – an enjoyable and competent mid-range western that's worth seeing.

Remarkably, there are three Harry Clarke stained glass windows in one small West Cork village – in St Barrahane's Church of Ireland church, in Castletownshend. The smallest of the three windows is the St Luke, inset into the south wall of the chancel. It is a miniature masterpiece, designed with extraordinary attention to detail by Harry, and executed in his studio.
The iconography that was chosen was specific to the subject – St Luke as Patron Saint of Painters. That's because this was a memorial window to Egerton Coghill – more correctly Sir Egerton Bushe Coghill, 5th Baronet Coghill.
Egerton Coghill, left, with his painting companion Herbert Baxter*
Egerton had grown up in Castletownshend, one of a large family of Coghills who lived in a rambling house called Glen Barrahane, and who seemed to be related in multiple ways to all the other families who lived in and around Castletownshend. His father (Sir John Jocelyn, one of Ireland's earliest photographers) was the brother of Adelaide, who had married Thomas Henry Somerville, mother of the Somerville family that included (among others) Edith (see Stories and Stained Glass), Boyle (see Boyle Somerville: Ireland's First Archaeoastronomer and Boyle's Bealtaine), and Hildegard. Hildegard eventually married Egerton, her first cousin. To Edith and Boyle, therefore, Egerton was both first cousin and brother-in-law.
To Edith he was also a childhood playmate, a best friend and a great supporter and artistic mentor. In periods of distress for her he encouraged her to concentrate on her work – first art and then writing, and he loaned her money when the going got tough. Everyone loved him, it seems. He gave up a career in engineering to devote himself to painting and his limited private means allowed him to study abroad. When he and Hildegard fell in love their families were delighted, but they had to wait seven years to be able to afford to marry.
Egerton and Hildegard on their wedding day
As a painter, Egerton was strongly influenced by the Impressionists. He painted en plein air, drawn to landscape and to muted colours. He loved to capture the scenery around Castletownshend, or the village itself, as in this charming depiction of the main street.

He was accomplished and well-known in his day, exhibiting widely and selling well. A scholarship at Oxford, for landscape painting, is named in his honour. Now, he seems to have faded from memory, and images of his paintings are hard to find online.
Field of Rye, Barbizon (Courtesy of the Ashmolean Museum)
Egerton's older brother, Neville, was killed at the Battle of Isandlwana during the Zulu Wars – Robert has developed a talk on West Cork Links to the Zulu Wars and will no doubt write a post about Neville eventually. One of the windows in St Barrahane's (not a Harry Clarke) is dedicated to his memory. When Neville died, Egerton inherited the title and moved back permanently to Castletownshend with Hildegard and his children. Egerton himself died unexpectedly in England in 1921 during the upheavals caused by the War of Independence at home in Ireland, so it was some time before his body could be brought back to St Barrahane's for burial. According to Edith, The whole country came to the funeral, and all the men competed for the privilege of putting a shoulder to the coffin, for even a few steps.
When Edith and Hildegard were able to consider a permanent memorial for their beloved Egerton it was naturally to Harry Clarke that they turned. Edith had been entranced immediately by Harry's work when she travelled up to Cork, on the advice of her brother Cameron, in 1916 to view the windows in the Honan Chapel. She wrote to Cameron afterwards to thank him. She was nothing short of stunned by Harry's windows and "the quality of burning and furious brilliance that I have never seen anywhere else. . . his windows have a kind of hellish splendour".
Edith in her Master of the Foxhounds habit, about the age she was when Egerton died
Since then, Edith had worked with Harry to install the Nativity window in 1918 (it was his first public commission) as a memorial to her grandparents, and again in 1921 on the Kendall Coghill window (Egerton's bachelor-soldier uncle and a universal family favourite) about which I wrote in my post The Gift of Harry Clarke. She now asked him to take on this new commission, and Harry, who had known and liked Egerton, promised to pay special attention to this project.
St Luke, Patron Saint of Painters, is depicted with a palette and brushes, with the Madonna's face appearing on the palette
The design he came up with is exquisite, and every detail is important. St Luke, perhaps better known to most of us as one of the four gospel writers, is also the Patron Saint of Painters. This is based on the tradition that he painted the first image of Mary, and that image became an early Christian icon. In Harry's design, Luke holds a painter's palette and brushes, and the image of Mary appears like a ghostly presence on the palette.
Luke, with St Cecelia to the left and St John, holding a chalice, to the right
Luke himself is a typical Harry creation, with his huge eyes, forked beard, and expression full of compassion. His right hand, with long tapered fingers and a sleeve point (Harry loved those), holds a brush. His hat and garments are elaborately rendered in blue, scarlet and purple. His sandals, thong style, are complex twists of leather straps.
Besides the Luke and the Madonna images, there are four other sacred figures in the window. One of the unique joys of this window is that you can get close enough to it to see these tiny figures clearly, since it is at eye level (it helps to be tall). The first, on the left side of the window is St Fidelio, dressed as a bishop (below). Although one author asserts that Egerton was born on St Fidelio's name day, I have been unable to confirm that or to find any information at all about St Fidelio, but obviously this saint had meaning to Egerton, or to the Somerville sisters, or perhaps it was a reference to Egerton's faithfulness. However, it could, like St Cecilia, be another musical reference, to Beethoven's opera, Fidelio. In fact, most of the figures appear to relate to secular aspects of Egerton's life, while thinly disguised as the kind of saintly images suitable for a church window. I can almost hear Harry, Edith and Hildegard chuckling over the choices, knowing that Egerton, who had his full share of boisterous Coghill humour, would thoroughly approve of the coded messages.
To the left of Luke's shoulder is St Cecilia. Egerton loved music, had a fine voice, and performed happily in the musical theatre that was a staple of family life within the Castletownshend circle. Gilbert and Sullivan was a favourite. But this is also a nod to Edith – Cecilia is shown playing an organ while the organ that Edith played for over 50 years occupies the loft at the other end of the church (below).
Finally, at the top of the window, across from each other, are St John and St Barrahane. Barrahane, after whom the church is named (and who is pictured also in Harry's nativity window in the same church) is the local saint, and the Coghill house was called Glen Barrahane in deference to that tradition. The tonsured monk is holding up a church (below). John was both his father's and his grandfather's (Baron Plunkett) name.
Egerton's coat of arms, the dedication plaque, and Harry's signature round out the window.
At this time, the Harry Clarke Studio was experiencing enormous demand for his work. To satisfy this demand he employed a group of highly talented artists and craftsmen, all of whom were trained to faithfully execute his designs, with Harry supervising closely. Thus it was with this window – most of it in fact was made while Harry was out of the country. The fact that he did not personally do most of the etching, staining and painting on this window does not in any way detract from its identification as a true Harry Clarke window – in every meaningful sense this was his creation and his signature indicates that he took full credit for the final product.
If you go to St Barrahane's, make sure that you open the gate in the altar rails and go right up to the little window in the chancel. People have been known to miss it. It's a unique opportunity to get nose-to-nose with a Harry Clarke. And when you do, spare a kind thought also for Egerton, a fellow artist, beloved by all who knew him, and honoured in this exquisite work of art.

North Port carjacking suspect arrested
The man suspected of rummaging through a woman's car and stabbing a man to steal another was arrested after a third car-related crime.
Police said Vladimir Matushevskiy, 29, of California, stole a car by force on the University of South Florida's Tampa campus on July 29 — one day after stabbing a North Port man in another armed carjacking.
Matushevskiy was arrested later that day and is being held at the Sumter County Jail. He was reportedly arrested after a car chase on Interstate 75 in Sumter and Marion counties.
According to the North Port Police Department, Matushevskiy broke into a woman's car parked at the Publix Shopping Plaza, 1291 S. Sumter Blvd., on July 28.
A witness told police a tall, dark-blond man wearing a white hoodie was sitting in the driver's seat of her friend's car around 3 p.m., rummaging through the glove box.
The man walked away when the owner approached the car.
As officers responded to the shopping plaza, police received a call of a carjacking and stabbing at a Walgreens less than half a mile away.
When authorities arrived, they found the car's owner with a stab wound to the hand, sitting inside the Walgreens at 1009 N. Sumter Blvd.
He told authorities that a man matching the same description tried to stab him and stole his gray Kia Rio.
Hillsborough Sheriff's deputies reportedly found the car within a couple of days with the knife used in the carjacking inside.
Investigators with the North Port Police Department and the Hillsborough Sheriff's Office identified Matushevskiy as the suspect, and soon learned he was arrested after stealing another car by force on July 29, this time on USF's Tampa campus.
Matushevskiy has been charged with grand theft of a motor vehicle, carjacking with a deadly weapon, reckless driving, fleeing to elude a law enforcement officer, resisting an officer without violence, battery of a conveyance, burglary of a conveyance and possession of drug paraphernalia.
