The sicko drove off from the scene but was quickly chased down by cops, who said they also found a THC vape in his car.“The actions of the mother and everyone on the scene, their ability to remain calm under pressure and push him away, get him away from the children, get a hold of us so that we can get to the area allowed us to hold this individual accountable,” Marietta Police Department Public Information Officer Charles McPhilamy told WSB-TV.Tucker — an apparent amateur rapper, according to a social media profile — was booked into Cobb County Jail on multiple charges, including attempted kidnapping and simple assault fear.The gas station manager also said he’d kicked Tucker off the property multiple times before the alleged abduction attempt.“The million-dollar question everyone watching is going to ask: Why did this happen...
