Wolverhampton: So, there’s this guy, right? A 37-year-old named Richard Stacey, who’s in a bit of hot water. He showed up in court after being accused of trying to snatch a three-year-old girl. Yikes!
This whole thing went down on January 9, and the police got involved pretty quickly after folks reported the incident on Leicester Street. Stacey was charged with attempted child abduction, assault, and affray. Not a good look!
When he appeared at Walsall Magistrates’ Court, he didn’t even enter a plea. The judge, Michael Wheeler, mentioned that there’s going to be another hearing at Wolverhampton Crown Court next month. So, it’s not over yet.
Stacey, who lives on Tettenhall Road, is currently in custody. Thankfully, the little girl wasn’t hurt, and the police are making sure her family gets the support they need. It’s a scary situation, but at least she’s okay.
