Jamul Elementary abductor

When I saw this mug shot in "Crime stoppers" in SD Union-Tribune the other week, I thought this guy should be easy to spot. Last Sunday afternoon I was in Encinitas near the beach when I saw a short, guy about 140 lbs. with a huge scar about 4-5 inches long on his right cheek. He was acting erratic and trying to put a can of gas with a woman into an SUV. I was 100% sure this was the wanted abductor. I called 911 and described who, what, when & where to the dispatcher. The guy saw me making a cell phone call, I left. Within a few minutes SD Sheriff had two cars there and talking to the guy. Monday I called Encinitas Sheriff desk who said the man was arrested but declined further details. Is this the attempted Jamul girl abductor then the SD Union-Tribune needs to report his capture and arrest and East County made aware.

Attempted kidnapping in jamul

Why does the school let people walk their dogs on the school property during school hours?? Was the vehicle stolen from school property the day of the attempted kidnapping recovered yet??

THIS IS SAD

And something no child (or adult) should have to experience. This girl will no doubt be affected emotionally for a very long time.
