And another child was in danger after she was almost kidnapped last week. Her mother posted on Facebook that she was in the shower and her 5-year-old daughter was playing in the yard with the neighbor's child when someone told her that her a man had taken her daughter. She wrote that she ran out of the shower in her towel to chase the man down. When she got back her daughter, she said the child told her the man promised to buy her a bag of chips, and that she was afraid to scream because she didn't want him to hurt her.
Today ACP Hilberto Romero said that the man has been arrested before.

An investigation was carried out, persons assisted her in the area, a person was detained. After the investigation, one Craig Hamilton, 33 years, has since been arrested and charged for the crime of kidnapping."
