SANTA ANA — A 55-year man was arrested Thursday for allegedly trying to abduct a 10-year old boy on his way to soccer practice.

It all started around 7:30 p.m. Thursday night when police received a call about a man trying to kidnap a young boy in the 500 block of E. Central.

The caller said the boy’s soccer coach was trying to detain the man, but he had escaped.

Officers eventually located Victor Joseph Espinoza, by the helicopter, hiding in the backyard of a nearby residence.

The 425 lb. suspect was taken into custody without incident, but he had minor injuries from his contact with the soccer coach.

    Good thing he discovered that grooming tip about growing a well-defined goatee.
    Otherwise, people might not know he had that nice chiselled jaw.

    “….Espinoza was booked on suspicion of false imprisonment, child annoying, and gang enhancements, for being a documented gang member…”

    Gang member?! What use could he possibly be to a gang? And what is a gang enhancement? Child annoying….huh?!

    Something’s not right with this story.

    Any bets this fat phuck petitions the court to have his sentence suspended because he’s too fat to fit in a jail cell? And being Calif., the court will probably cave.
