“Due to the clear concern of the parents that someone insisted on trying to buy their daughter at a grocery store, we were notified. Unfortunately for him, we were able to confirm through his parole officer that Mr. Kolb is currently on parole for similar issues, and should not have any contact with minor children,” police said, adding that it was booked into the Volusia County Secondary Jail.
A 2018 report compiled by FOX 35 noted that Kolb was arrested that year for allegedly approaching a woman and her 8-year-old son inside a Walmart store to offer her $200,000 to buy it. A month before that incident he made a similar offer to another mother and daughter.
