Arizona Teen Outsmarts Predator, Leads to His Arrest

A 14-year-old girl used quick thinking to give a potential predator her mother's number, enabling police to intercept and arrest him.

  • The incident occurred on October 16 in Glendale, Arizona, when the teen was approached by 37-year-old Isaiah Navarro.
  • Navarro, driving a red vehicle, asked the girl for directions and then requested her phone number.
  • Instead of giving her own number, the girl provided her mother's, allowing police to take over the communication.
  • Detectives, posing as the teen, engaged Navarro in graphic text exchanges and arranged a meeting.
  • Navarro was arrested at the arranged location and is now facing charges including luring a minor for sexual exploitation.
