An Ohio man is facing felony abduction charges after he was seen on a Ring Doorbell attempting to abduct a 6-year-old girl while taking out the trash.
According to ABC7 Los Angeles, the ring doorbell clip shows the man approaching 6-year-old Ken’Adi Nash as he attempts to grab and pull her away. The moment the man releases his hold and starts to walk down the sidewalk, Ken’Adi can be heard screaming loudly as she runs back inside her home.
Authorities have identified the suspect as Deric McPherson, 33.
“This guy walked by, and he touched, and he pulled me,” Ken’Adi said.
Her father, Ricky, added, “He wouldn’t have let go of her if she wouldn’t have pulled and screamed like she did.”
Ricky told ABC7, “I chased him like he still had my kid. I definitely didn’t want him to be able to go snatch another kid.”
Mandie told CNN that her daughter “came in with a blood-curling scream,” adding that when “she ran into the living room she said, ‘mommy someone tried to take me, he touched my private parts.’ “
Before she and her husband chased him, Mandie claimed she “went outside and saw him walking down the sidewalk.” Then, her husband sped off in search of McPherson.
Mandie said that they frequently have the “stranger danger” talk with Ken’Adi, telling her, “if anybody ever tries to touch or take you, scream, bite, kick [and] make as much noise as possible.”
She added that while talking to Butler County police, her husband cornered McPherson in a parking lot.
