El Diablo – Isn’t that some sort of Mexican fighting chicken or something?
A man who tried to snatch two little girls from their mothers outside a North County Wal-Mart while referring to himself as “El Diablo” — the devil — is scheduled to be sentenced today.
Under terms of a plea agreement reached in May, 37-year-old Eloy Ambris Garcia is expected to be sent to a state mental hospital for 5 1/2 years. That’s the same amount of time he would have spent in prison on the attempted kidnapping charge to which he pleaded guilty.
However, Judge K. Michael Kirkman warned the defendant that depending on his mental condition, he could remain hospitalized for the rest of his life.
Witnesses in a preliminary hearing testified that Garcia approached members of an extended family when they got off a bus in front of the store on Center Drive in San Marcos.
The mother of one of the children testified that the defendant tugged at her daughter’s hands, saying in Spanish, “I am coming for them, I am the devil.”

Damn, I’m glad I only got probation + $36. That judge was a pushover. Ha ha I kid.
A 21-year-old Bridgeton Township man who was arrested in March for masturbating in a Wal-Mart dressing room with women’s undergarments and a couple of magazines had an explanation for his behavior in Bucks County Court today.
He was high.
After entering a guilty plea, Joseph Eric Renno told Bucks County Judge Rea Boylan that he had been high on marijuana at the time, and had moved away from his Franconia Township home to get away from bad influences that contributed to the incident.
Boylan said she thought there was probably more to it. She sentenced Renno to 12-months probation, ordered him to stay away from the Wal-Mart and required him to undergo mental health and substance abuse evaluations. Renno will also have to pay $36 in restitution to the store for the ruined undergarments.
