Amish Woman Uses Weed Whacker to Fight Off Kidnapper in Pennsylvania



The incident unfolded on October 14 around 4:20 p.m. in Sadsbury Township, Lancaster County, when 26-year-old Junior Jose Davila-Moran approached her from behind with a serrated knife and handcuffs. She backed away, then fought back by advancing on him with the weed whacker until he fled behind a barn; she then ran to a neighbor to call police. 


Investigators linked him to a dark Chevrolet pickup via trail camera, arrested him on October 16 in New Jersey, and confirmed he is a Guatemalan national who entered the U.S. illegally in 2018.


 He faces felony kidnapping charges and is detained, with ICE placing a detainer.
