Bodycam: Michigan Man Allegedly Pulls Young Girl Into Bathroom, Says He's 'Going to Jail'

Newly released bodycam footage shows investigators in Michigan interviewing a mother after she claims a man tried to pull her daughter into a thrift store bathroom. "My daughter was apparently attempted to be pulled into a bathroom by a young man here," the woman told a Sandusky police officer. The man — later identified as 19-year-old Andrew Jewell — told police he did nothing wrong. Jewell faces several charges including attempted kidnapping.

The chilling video captures the moments after the alleged incident at the thrift store. The distraught mother can be seen explaining to officers that a man grabbed her young daughter by the arm and tried dragging her into the restroom against her will. She identifies 19-year-old Andrew Jewell as the suspect. When questioned, Jewell denies any wrongdoing and claims it was a misunderstanding. However, based on the mother's account and surveillance footage, police arrested Jewell on charges of attempted kidnapping, child enticement, and assault.

This "man" crying and saying he can't survive in jail... it's not fun when someone forces and traps you somewhere where you know you're about to be assaulted, is it? That's how your victim felt when you pulled her into the bathroom. Absolutely disgusting. Wow.

[Chelle]

When your first response is "I can't go to jail" instead of "I would never do that to a child" we know what happened. Disgusting.

To anyone wondering what the theater incident really was, he went and hid in the womens restroom and did this to a ten year old girl: "He went right behind her and grabbed her around the throat and used the other hand -- he pulled the sleeve over his hand to muffle her screaming, " Scheddel said about what happened to her daughter.
She said her daughter was able to fight off the teen, who ran out of the bathroom. The girl told her grandma what happened and security and police were called."

He only got misdemeanor charges for that, and it was only a year ago. The mom was worried about who this might happen to next.

THROW AWAY THE KEY

Hearing the little girl crying in the beginning absolutely shatters my heart. How terrifying it must've been for her.

[starrgravityasmr]

Kudos to mom for maintaining her cool as long as she could. You could tell by how she finally let herself break down a bit when dad showed up that it’s because he makes them feel safe enough to be vulnerable. He reacted exactly how my husband would have. Thank you to these parents for believing their daughter and advocating for her. You’re raising a tough little girl who knows right from wrong and isn’t afraid to speak up

[KittyMeow]

The little girl sniffling breaks my heart. Her brother is a hero and the mom handled the situation well. I would have lost my mind.

The minute he says “I told her pick a toy for free” was way more telling than any of his other statements. I wonder how many children he has assaulted in the past by luring them in with toys. SMH you can’t take your eyes off your child for even a minute!

[boxesbinslidsllc]

He exposed himself to the child, and then claimed he was on the toilet. The offer to buy them toys, is sick.
Please keep your children nearby even in a store, it only takes a moment.

For anyone questioning his guilt...this guy's name is andrew jewell, and he was convicted a year ago for following a little girl into a bathroom and attacking her. Thankfully she got away. He only got a misdemeanor I'm guessing due to being mentally challenged, and was ordered to undergo treatment. Yet here he is a year later in the exact same situation...

[BirdGang]

I’m a former special education teacher, any sort of cognitive deficits he has does not justify his behavior in the slightest. He’s had other incidents of predatory behavior. He needs to be dealt with and he does not deserve sympathy.

[laughoutloud]

Props to the girl for telling someone. Takes a lot of courage to do that especially when something that bad happened

[DamzelNDistress]

The fact that his first response when a cops shows up is "I can't survive in jail"

[Rezman]

Why would a young girl make up such an ugly accusation? That father was so close to doing what I would have done if someone physically assaulted my daughter. My heart goes out to the innocent victim and her family.

[madysonclaeys]

I am so proud of that little boy who immediately went to get his mother he saved his sister big time! He is a little hero himself and thank god his parents taught him to know when there is danger and what to do! He is going to be a tough little man and that little girl is going to be tough herself she has an amazing family supporting and protecting her. I hope that person never gets out of jail he is only sorry because he got caught… and even then doesn’t see his wrong!

[TheTwinklinglilstar]

He did the same thing to a 10 year old girl the year before at the movies. They did charge him with "assault and battery" but he followed the little girl into a women's bathroom. The mom of that child said they were too lenient and afraid it would happen again. Look what happened now! These cases need to be taken more seriously. He seems developmentally challenged but that is still no excuse. He needs psychiatric help and he needs to be in jail for what he's done.

[poly_g]

I love how the dad is like "I JUST wanna talk to him"

[insydius]

Google his name and you’ll see that he did the same thing to a little girl in a movie theater before this incident. I hate that they always get the chance to re-offend.

[ChemoJunky]

"I'm so screwed" "I can't go to jail" "I won't survive". Never a word about how terrible it was for him to try to hurt a kid. Scum.

[discardedroses]

Anyone willing to harm a child deserves to be put under the prison. They never change. Either keep them locked up or 6 feet under 🤷🏾‍♀️

[charlesfrey]

Andrew Jewell has officially been sentenced to 15 years of prison where he will be getting a taste of his own medicine by being pulled into prison bathrooms by other inmates, getting abused, and crying like a baby more than he ever did in this video of his arrest. Justice to the little girl and her family.
