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.
