And he was just looking around, came around the counter and I was like, "Sir, you have to go back around." And then he started grabbing products and he started like pushing me like out of the way and everything. And then eventually he walked back around the counter and started going towards the front door. I was like, "Are you going to pay for everything?" And got in front of him and he was like, "What are you going to do about it?" And he started pushing me out of the store. And then um and then I was like trying to hold back him getting out of the store cuz he was still holding products, too.

Though the man was swiftly brought to justice, his 18-year-old victim was left justifiably traumatized and fearful for her safety. Now, if he does ever come back, like he gets out and he comes back here and like I'm still here working, what do I do? Like cuz if like he just walks in. Well, so he Well, he it would be illegal for to remotely be in this area. It would be impossible. So this is it's an injunction. So he can't be anywhere around you or anything like that. He might if he does get out he might be on a monitor. I don't know. But a lot of those times they do do monitors and stuff like that. So we have a really sophisticated system to track people. So it's not like this this county is they spend a lot of expense on that type of stuff. So it's not it's not as easy as people think. But it just depends on on what he gets. But he might be on a GPS monitor and stuff and that way if he does get out we would know where he's at if you know and if he comes anywhere we're already notified before you even know. Okay. So definitely that and I mean I mean it's I mean basically tried to kidnap you. So this isn't this isn't easy thing for him to even get out on. Yeah. So we'll we'll see and we'll work we'll work with what we got to do and and we'll go from there and and we'll see to it that he gets dealt with. Okay? All right. Don't worry about him. You just work on your mental and we'll do the rest. Okay? Back at the jail the male refused to provide a breath sample and gave the most bizarre reason for the attempted kidnapping. Have you had any alcohol today? I don't think so. You don't think so? You told me earlier that you did. Uh oh yeah, I might have. Yeah. I might have. Why am I in trouble remembering? I I I just I've always had trouble remembering. Kind of like you know you know I just forget [ __ ] all the time. So I read this to you? You got to read it to you?

You hang tight here and let me let them know. Okay? The 18-year-old victim later gave an interview to local news outlets about her dangerous encounter and its aftermath. How are you doing at this point in time and can you kind of tell us a little bit of your your processing your thought process since this happened? Well I'm still trying to recover from it. Obviously it was pretty traumatic. But lately I've just been trying to focus on myself and get back to work. What actions did you take to try to get away from him? I just kept fighting back and screaming. Uh what was going through your head when he grabbed you and dragged you to his car? Just that I had to get away and I was terrified that he was going to hurt me. Throughout this experience have you gone through any personal protection training before? And how did you know what to do in order to get away from him? I have not done any personal protection things yet. But my parents had always taught me that whenever you're in any sort of danger you always fight back. Are you still working at the smoke shop? No I'm not. He the boss did let me and my sister go. Do you know why? Any reasoning? No he has not contacted either of us. What's your reaction to that and how he treated you through this situation? Pretty upsetting cuz he was my boss for a few months and you know everything was going good up until that incident and he just completely stopped talking to either of us. Do you have any advice or words for other women who might find themselves in similar situations? Just never be quiet. Always fight back no matter what. Like kick scream all of it. It will do justice.
