3. In the Middle
Caleb Martin was driving home from work one night when he saw a car swerving in front of him and a woman, Jenna Newman, in the road. He thought the driver of the car, Kenneth Clinton, was drunk. Soon, the 18-year-old realized Kenneth wasn’t drunk… he was actually aiming for Jenna!
Caleb watched as the car hit Jenna, pinning her to the guardrail. This was when Caleb drove towards them and stopped his car between Kenneth and Jenna. He honked his horn, and Kenneth drove off. Jenna, who had also been shot twice, climbed into Caleb’s car as he called 9-1-1.
While on the phone with 9-1-1, Caleb took Jenna to his grandmother’s house where they waited for the paramedics. Although she was in critical condition, Jenna ended up surviving the incident. Kenneth, later that night, committed suicide by shooting himself.
2. Flirting with a Kidnapping
Dallas teenager Jamal Harris was riding with his teenage friend Aaron Arias when he noticed a 25-year-old woman in the backseat of a car at a stoplight. He thought she was cute, and she even mouthed something to him. Instead of a flirtatious “Hey”, Jamal realized she had mouthed “Help me”.
When the car sped away quickly, the teenagers decided to follow the car and call the police after they saw the woman bang on the window. It turned out that the woman had been kidnapped by Charles Atkins Lewis, Jr., and Aaron immediately called the police. For 12 minutes, he followed the car until the police were able to reach them.
Charles was arrested and charged with aggravated kidnapping, and the woman walked away without a scratch.
