HOMESTEAD, Fla. – A 43-year-old Homestead man is facing a felony charge after he attempted to snatch a teenager while she was walking her dog Friday morning, according to police.
A Homestead Police Department arrest report states that the 13-year-old was walking her dog along Southwest Fourth Street, near Krome Avenue, just after 7 a.m. when she came upon a Chevrolet Tahoe driven by a man later identified as Michael Luprecio.
Luprecio, police said, pulled into the girl’s driveway, opened the SUV’s hood and looked underneath it.
As the girl walked past Luprecio, to her front door, the report states he “aggressively lunged at her, grabbing her by her right wrist and lower buttocks, catching (her) by surprise.”
