Florida registered sex offender posed as teenagers friends father when he picked girl up and met her



Florida Highway Patrol trooper Toni Schuck joined 'Fox & Friends' to discuss the decision to risk her own life to stop a drunk driver and her experience being honored at the Patriot Awards in 2022.

A St. Petersburg, Florida, man was arrested Wednesday after he allegedly met a 14-year-old girl online, and traveled to pick her up and take her back to his residence, police said.

The Largo Police Department said officers responded to a report of a 14-year-old runaway in June 2023.

When the officers arrived, they spoke with the girl's parents, who said they recently learned she was secretly talking with a man on Snapchat.

Investigators also learned the man, later identified as 26-year-old Austin Lawrence Powers, picked up the teenager at least once and took her to his residence.

Days later, police said, Powers allegedly picked the girl up again, but this time posed as one of her friend's fathers when he met the victim's mother.

Powers was previously arrested for a similar incident in Plant City back in 2016.

Osho on Spontaneity

Osho on Spontaneity – Divine purity reduced to practical life means spontaneity Osho – Divine purity reduced to practical life means spontaneity. The spontaneous person is innocent.

A major reverse for Argentina in the dispute could persuade it to proceed to build nuclear weapons....
