Speaker 2 (00:06):
I'm Drew Nelson. A man in Florida is arrested after
allegedly attacking an eleven year old girl he believed had
egged his apartment. The attack caught on video. On Saturday,
deputies with the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office responded to calls
from neighbors at Alison Park Place in Tampa. Witnesses had
seen a man chase a young girl, tackle her, and
pin her to the ground. Cell Phone video shot from
(00:28):
above shows her screaming as she tries to break free.
I'm recording the suspects. Forty three year old Marius Mutu
(00:58):
told deputies his apartment had been egg during the week.
When it happened again that Saturday. He assumed the girl
walking nearby was to blame. He says he chased her
because he wanted to take a picture for apartment management.
A man intervened and pulled Moutu away. Deputies arrived around
noon and took Mootu into custody on charges of battery
and false imprisonment. Sheriff Chad Cronister's states quote, this type
(01:21):
of behavior is not only unacceptable, it's reprehensible. The safety
of our children is non negotiable. This child endured a
terrifying and traumatic experience at the hands of someone who
chose to take matters into his own hands. Mouto was
booked into jail on a six thousand dollars bond and
later released. He had just started a job with the
city as a parking enforcement officer the prior week. A
(01:43):
city spokesperson said he was suspended while the case is
under review. A neighbor holding her baby was shocked, but
not surprised, speaking a WFLA as a mom, I thinxty
sixty my stomach can't for like a grown man to
do something to a vulnerable person is ridiculous. Deputies confirmed
the girl was not hurt physically, but was understandably left shaken.
Authorities have not said if she had anything to do
(02:04):
with the earlier vandalism. The investigation is ongoing. The long
term trauma and the parents and anybody else who witness it,
Like there's kids all over down the streets. Every night
I just think of, like, what if it was my
kid or our kid. It could be anybody. More Crime
and Justice news. After this, a renewed push to capture
(02:27):
a wanted gang member in Illinois includes a bigger reward
and a fresh call for tips. Federal agents are now
offering up to twenty five thousand dollars for information that
leads to the arrest and conviction of Joseph Matto's, who
also goes by the nickname Troubles. He is accused of
taking part in the twenty twenty one murder of nineteen
year old National Guard member Chris carbon Hall in Chicago.
(02:47):
The shooting happened as Carba Hall walked to his car
after a Fourth of July weekend party in the Belmont
Cregan neighborhood. Carba Hall had just finished a basic training
He had been home only a short while when he
was killed. Prosecute say Matos and another man, Gary Robinson,
shot him to build their standing with the Milwaukee Kings,
which is a gang based on Chicago's North Side. Robertson

was arrested in May of twenty twenty four. He is
being held on racketeering and firearm charges. The same month,
a federal warrant was issued for Matos. He remains on
the run. He's six two to twenty tattoos on his neck, hands, chest,
belly and arms among the tattoos, Mtown Kings, thirteen hundred,

still be in the Chicago area and is considered armed
and dangerous. FBI Special Agent Douglas de Podesta states, quote,
this type of violence will not be tolerated. We are
asking for the public's help to bring this fugitive to justice.
