A registered sex offender’s offer to make a disturbing purchase at a Florida grocery store landed him in handcuffs Thursday, according to police.

Police in Port Orange, in Volusia County, said on Aug. 16, 85-year-old Hellmuth Kolb offered a parent shopping at a Winn-Dixie $100,000 to purchase their daughter.

That parent notified police, who identified Kolb and discovered he was on probation for similar issues and was not to have any contact with children, officials said.

On Thursday, police went to Kolb’s Port Orange home and arrested him.

Ohio cops rescued a 23-year-old woman who was held captive in a shed. Police say Chloe Jones was beaten with a baseball bat and held in the shed for four days before she was rescued. Jones says the accused kidnapper, William Mozingo, offered her a ride home. However, she ended up in the shed. Turns out, she was not his first victim. He was previously convicted in 2017 of kidnapping a woman. Mozingo was arrested and charged for allegedly kidnapping Jones.
