@coppercourier Glendale police arrested 37-year-old Joseph Leroy Ruiz in the attempted kidnapping of an 11-year-old girl while she was walking to school in Glendale, Arizona, on January 26. Now, police say that crime was targeted. As a father myself, as a parent, it’s very frightening that on her normal walk to school, she was targeted,” said Glendale police officer Moroni Mendez in a press conference. “Someone tried to take her away from her loving family.” Police also said that the suspect lived in the same apartment complex as the young girl. 📹: Glendale Police Department via Storyful . . . . #Glendaleaz #aznews #arizonanews #kidnapping #crime #keepkidssafe #protectkids ♬ original sound – Copper Courier
