Accused Stalker Arrested After 2 Girls Run For Help

Last week two young girls in Florida went to their local convenience store to get some drinks. On their way home, they were approached by a 55 year old man named Kevin Rich. According to reports, the two girls ran inside a Circle K telling the clerk that they were being followed by a man in a grey car. The clerk called the police and kept the girls behind the counter with her until police arrived. When they got there, the girls told them that they had just left the Circle K with their drinks when a car pulled up beside them. They said they tried to avoid the man but he said something as he passed by. He then turned the car around and followed them attempting to speak to them again. This frightened the girls prompting them to run back to the store leaving their drinks and money behind. When officers went to investigate they found the drinks and the money right where the girls said they would be. After getting a detailed description of the man, police went on the hunt, finding him at a different convenience store. When they caught up to him, he said to the police, "is this about the two girls from earlier?" He told officers that he had not gone after the girls, instead turned down the road to smoke crack and fondle himself when the girls caught sight of him and took off. He's now looking at two counts of aggravated stalking of a minor and two counts of attempted lewd and lascivious exhibition to a minor.
