Hooters Girls Battle Man Hiding In Car

Posted: 11:34 am EDT April 17, 2009Updated: 4:09 pm EDT April 17, 2009

Loganville police said they arrested a man after he entered the automobile of two female waitresses from Hooters.

Police said Christopher Childers, 40, saw the two 19-year-old girls walk into a Wal-Mart to do some shopping. While they were in the store, Childers allegedly got into their car. Police said Childers found pictures of the girls in their uniforms which he placed in his truck. He then got back into the girls’ car to wait for them, police said.

When the girls returned, one girl slammed Childers leg with the car door and the other called 911, Loganville Police Chief Mike McHugh confirmed to Channel 2 Action News.

Employees from Wal-Mart came outside to assist the two females and the group held Childers inside the vehicle until police arrived. Upon officers arrival, Childers was still inside the victim’s vehicle.

Loganville Police Department officer Artie Turner told The Walton Tribune Childers said he was waiting for the girls because “they looked easy” and he had a conservative girlfriend.

Childers was charged with felony entering an auto.

He was released from Walton County Jail Wednesday after posting $5,000 bond.
