BREAKING NEWS – Tampa, Florida – A Florida man is charged with kidnapping after he stole a truck with two young children inside.
Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Deputy Jonathan Pazmino Alvarez was flagged down in Tampa Monday evening by a man who said his truck had just been stolen with his two children – ages 4 and 8 – inside.
The sheriff’s office identified the suspect as 37-year-old Kevin Smith.
One of the children can be heard telling the deputy: “That’s not my dad.”
Smith could be heard later that evening talking to his attorney. “That kid in the backseat had no right to tell that deputy that I wasn’t his dad!” Smith angrily stated. “That’s the trouble with our youth these days, they simply don’t know when to shut up and mind their own business!”
