Police arrested 31-year-old Jose Angel Reyes Gonzales after he allegedly tried to grab a young girl around 6:30 a.m. May 13.
According to Sgt. Frank Matsko, the victim was watering plants in front of her home near 35th Street and Verbenna Drive when Reyes Gonzales approach and asked for a drink of water. The victim went inside and brought him a glass of water.
“When she gives him the glass he attempts to kiss her hand,” Matsko said.

The victim told her parents and the police were called.

They also found the photo of the girl on his cell phone.
“Who knows what he would have done,” Matsko said.
