Good Samaritan Tackles Man Who Kidnapped Little Girl

A sick and twisted individual in Wichita Falls, Texas, attempted to kidnap and rape a 7-year-old girl on Saturday, but thankfully some good Samaritans in the neighborhood spotted him before he could commit his terrible deed and held him until police were able to take him into custody.

According to KAUZ, a call went out to the police Saturday afternoon from a terrified mother reporting that her daughter had just been kidnapped. When law enforcement arrived, she pointed them in the direction she had last seen the pair headed, sending the officers in hot pursuit.

Just a few blocks away, they found their suspect pinned to the ground beneath another man who lived in the neighborhood. He had spotted the kidnapper and the abducted girl, learned what was going on, and then tracked down the kidnapper with the aid of his girlfriend before the police had arrived.

The U.K. Daily Mail reported that the good Samaritan and his girlfriend had seen the suspect, identified as 26-year-old Reashawn Perez, carrying the kidnapped girl down the street. When they were informed what had happened just moments later by the frantic mother, they set off after the man in their vehicle, finding him just a couple of blocks away.

Perez was seen attempting to push the girl through the window of a vacant home, but once he realized that he’d been spotted, he quickly dropped the girl and took off running, only to be tackled to the ground by the neighbor who had chased him down.

According to a report from the Wichita Falls Times-Record-News, Perez informed the police that he had “only” wanted to have sex with the little girl and would have returned her to her home once he had finished carrying out his sickening atrocity.

Perez was arrested and charged with aggravated kidnapping, and awaited an appearance in court in the Wichita County jail with bail set at $50,000.

“This was an isolated incident. We want to stress to parents that it was isolated and there’s not any danger in the community from this,” WFPD public information officer Brandi Young said. “But to keep in mind safety tips on watching your children, especially if they’re playing outside or when you’re out shopping, always keep them close to you.”

This had the potential to be a truly terrible story, but thankfully a quick-thinking neighbor decided to take initiative and not wait for authorities to arrive before taking action to prevent a horrible abomination from occurring.
