ARLINGTON (CBSDFW.COM) - Arlington Police Chief Will Johnson is fired up after a carjacker used a fake gun Monday during his crime.

Jesus Adrian Hernandez was arrested for aggravated robbery after SWAT was deployed and caught him. The 'gun' he used in the carjacking was actually a Airsoft replica firearm.

Chief Johnson took to Twitter to express his frustration about what he said is a "serious issue." He even called for legislation to assist law enforcement in dealing with the issue.

Hernandez is at the Arlington Police Department Jail on a $15,000 bond.
