The Citrus County man who was caught on camera attempting to allegedly kidnap a 13-year-old girl will not be standing trial because two doctors have declared him incompetent.

  • Craig Bonello is accused of having a tug-of-war with a mother over a teen
  • Bonello has been ordered to stay at a mental health treatment facility
  • There is no word how long he will remain there

In June, the Citrus County man was caught on camera attempting to kidnap a 13-year-old girl. An off-duty deputy and the minor’s fearless mother made sure Craig Bonello, 30, didn’t get away with it.

A little over two months later, the court — operating under the recommendations of two physicians — said a traditional trial wouldn’t be in Bonello’s future.

On Tuesday, the Citrus County Sheriff’s Office announced the would-be kidnapper wouldn’t be standing trial regarding the incident that happened at a Dollar General on June 7.

Two physicians declared him incompetent. 

Following the diagnosis, Bonello was court-ordered for involuntary commitment to a mental health treatment facility. There is no official word on how long he’ll be forced to remain there.
