Julia Corker, the daughter of Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.), was carjacked Wednesday night at an intersection near the Verizon Center, WJLA is reporting. Corker was reportedly driving her Chevy Tahoe in D.C.'s Chinatown neighborhood at about 9:30 p.m. last night when a suspect allegedly got her to roll down her window before pulling her out of the car and throwing her to the pavement. Politico has more, noting that she was not seriously injured in the incident, and that Sen. Corker was apparently eating dinner at a nearby restaurant at the time.

The vehicle was later recovered in Suitland, and two suspects were arrested by Seat Pleasant police. Both Corkers are praising the multiple law enforcement agencies involved, including the D.C. Police, the Capitol Police, the FBI and the Seat Pleasant Police.

Julia Corker, 22, last made headlines in 2006, when Wonkette re-published semi-racy photos from her Facebook page.
