A convicted felon landed himself back behind bars for allegedly carjacking a 16-year-old girl on Saturday just 20 minutes after he was released from prison in Washington state, authorities say. 

Police responded to a neighborhood in Spokane at 10:28 p.m. on Saturday in response to a carjacking. Authorities said the suspect, Marcus Goodman, 31, approached the girl who told officers he had a gun and demanded her car before driving off.

Goodman had been released from prison at 10:08 p.m., police said.
