When officers found Stanga, he was wearing the clothing seen in the video, and they discovered a similar vehicle at the home and a fresh coat of black paint on its bumper.Īccording to Simmons, the girl had been playing with blue slime and Stanga had been seen in a convenience store surveillance video with blue slime on his arms.
The man has been identified as 30-year-old Jared Paul Stanga. After the man returns to his vehicle, he drives in the same direction as the girl and out of view of the surveillance camera. The girl can be seen grabbing her belongings and runs in the direction away from the vehicle. And she’s kicking and she’s pushing and she’s punching and she’s able to get free,” Escambia County sheriff Chip Simmons said in a statement.
