Shelby Harrington, 13, says Quinn approached her asking for her name and then tried to grab her by the shoulder.
She was able to get away and use her cell phone to call her dad. That’s when the two started driving around the area looking for the suspect on their own. A few blocks away, they spotted him.
“I didn’t know what to think. [Was] he was going to have a car come around the corner or what? My first instinct was just to run and call my dad,” Harrington says.
“I grabbed him, body slammed him and put him in a nice headlock and waited till the deputies showed up,” Brett Harrington, the teen's dad, told Fox12 News.
Police cited Douglas Quinn and are charging him with harassment.

What? the cops arrested the guy. The prosecutor is charging harassment.
Rail at the *system, that's what failed here.

I am all in favor of removing predators from the population.
My concern is that we here on ATS do not have enough information to say Quinn was trying to abduct this teen. Nothing in the story says this, in fact nothing in this story says Quinn was a sexual predator in any way. "Sex Offender" is an extremely large category these days, ranging from convicted multiple rapist-murderers to some guy taking a picture of his toddler taking a bath.
Until there is information suggesting Quinn was attempting to abduct this girl, or has a history of predatory actions "assault" is the correct charge. He tried to grab her shoulder.

You've obviously misunderstood them.
