Craig Bonello

A 30-year-old man tried to drag a 13-year-old girl out of a Dollar General store in Citrus County Florida Tuesday right in front her mother. The woman grabbed her daughter and fought a tug of war through the store until an off duty sheriff’s deputy intervened. The video below is from the store’s surveillance and was posted on the county sheriff’s office Facebook page. The brazen attack occurred just before noon. Although the surveillance video has no audio, the deputy said he could hear the screams outside the store. Citrus County is on the north end of the Florida gulf coast. The accused Craig Bonello, 30, is said to have mental issues.
