Man allegedly asked for sexual favors from girls after giving them ride home
A 25-year-old man is in custody, accused of asking a 13-year-old and 11-year-old girl for sexual favors after giving them a ride home from the mall.
Police say Samwell Fowler asked the girls if they needed a ride home from the South County Mall on the night of March 8. But when they approached the girls' house, Fowler allegedly drove into an alley, locked the doors, and asked the girls for sexual favors. The girls were able to unlock the doors and escape.
The teenage girl told a police officer at her school, and Fowler was found, arrested, and charged with enticement of a minor.
