Daniel Lenz - Image 1You kids playing online games better be careful with the people you meet. In Jacksonville, Florida, a 26-year old man was arrested for luring a 15-year old girl to run away from home and meet him.

The suspect, Daniel Lenz, met the New Hampshire girl online playing World of Warcraft. Lenz’s friend, Jason Dowling, 23, drove to Windham to pick up the unnamed girl so he can bring her to Lenz. They, however, never made it to Jacksonville as one of them called the girl’s home and revealed where they were. The police found both Dowling and the girl in Manning, S.C.

Lenz, meanwhile, was arrested at his home on Tuesday night, where the police found a 12-gauge shotgun. Looking into Lenz’s criminal record, it was found that he is a convicted felon with quite a string of offenses, including grand theft and sexual battery.

While it’s fun to play with friends online, as well as meeting new people while playing your favorite games through the internet, do not let up your guard as you never know just who might be on the other end of the line.
