Florida man caught on video trying to abduct teen girl
HERNANDO, Fla. » A Florida man has been taken into custody after surveillance video shows him trying to kidnap a teenage girl inside a store.
Citrus County deputies tell news outlets that 30-year-old Craig Bonello is facing charges of child abuse and kidnapping involving Tuesday’s incident at a Dollar General Store in Hernando.
Investigators say video shows Bonello looking around before grabbing the 13-year-old girl and trying to drag her out of the store. The child’s mother caught up to him and a tug of war ensued as the woman fought for her daughter. The suspect finally let go of the girl and ran.
The store manager alerted an off-duty deputy outside the store and the deputy blocked Bonello’s car and arrested him.
It’s unclear if Bonello has an attorney.

Scary indeed. This guy clearly has major issues when he needs to try to abduct a young girl in a store in view of the girl’s mother. I’m just hoping they put him away for a long time but I’m guessing that’s probably asking too much.
