MMA fighter turns vigilante: Man busts alleged child predator at Delray Beach Walmart

DELRAY BEACH, Fla. (CBS12) — As a professional MMA fighter, Dustin "Scrappy" Lampros spends most of his days training for the ring. But in his free time, he fights for those who can’t defend themselves: hunting down predators who prey on children.

One recent case involved Nicholas Watson, 43, who was recently arrested for allegedly attempting to meet a minor for illicit purposes. The incident unfolded at a Walmart in Delray Beach.

“I have the time to go and do this. Also, I have the skill set to be able to control myself to do it. So, I figured you know, this was like the perfect opportunity to be able to help people and make some kind of impact,” Lampros said. “I know that the cops have their own thing that goes on but obviously it's not enough if someone like myself is able to catch a different predator every day.”
