Ok, so he's not a JW but this is one hell of a story. I thought I'd share it.
Girl flees abductor By Liz Fabian
Associated PressA 12-year-old girl jumped from a moving pickup truck to escape a man who abducted her from her bus stop at Log Cabin Drive and Scotland Avenue, police said Tuesday.
A quick-thinking Bibb County school bus driver, Dorothy Lockette, had to slam on brakes to avoid hitting the girl, but she gave police the information they needed to arrest convicted child molester Marcus Ellis Forehand, 34, of Macon.
"She hit the street and rolled right in front of my bus, and my heart was in my mouth," said Lockette.
Lockette said she watched a man get out of the truck and try to catch the girl, but she ran to safety on Hillcrest Industrial Boulevard.
"You could just see the anger and frustration on his face. He looked me straight in my face," Lockette said.
As a bus driver, Lockette is trained to spot license plate numbers of automobiles that disobey bus stop signals.
She called police and reported the tag number and a description of the pickup and followed the man as he drove away.
"All I could think of was my children. What if it were one of mine?" said Lockette, mother of a grown child and foster mother to a half-dozen others.
"I was so angry I just wanted to follow that truck," she said.
Lockette said after she watched the man turn onto Napier Avenue, she returned to find the girl, who had run to a woman on the street.
"I said, 'Baby are you OK?' and she was so scared," Lockette said.
Precinct 3 police officers David Ingle, Clay Newsome and Zachary Self traced the Monroe County tag number 836 JJG to Northside Tire Co. on Northside Drive where they found a red 1996 Ford F-250 pickup and arrested Forehand, who is listed on the GBI's sex offender registry for a November 2000 child molestation conviction.
Forehand is being held in the Bibb County Law Enforcement Center on charges of kidnapping with bodily injury, child molestation and enticing a child for indecent purposes.
The girl, whose identity is not being released, scraped her hands and face while jumping from the truck. She was taken by ambulance to The Medical Center of Central Georgia, but no information was available about her condition Tuesday night.
She told Lockette the man got out of his truck at her bus stop, grabbed her, put her in the truck and drove away.
While in the truck, the man asked her to expose herself, the girl told police.
Lockette said she was relieved to hear Forehand was in custody.
"When they called us back and said they got him, I said, 'Thank you, Lord,' because what if someone's child wasn't coming home?" she said.
Can I get a "Hell yeah!" ?
I was listening to the local talk show this morning and they said the girl actually rolled under the bus! That's one brave kid!
I'll tell y'all something about justice down here. If it was the right cops that nabbed him, his ride to the L.E.C. was ANYTHING but comfortable and painless. And believe me, someone will make sure the other inmates know what he is.
