Amish Woman Uses Weed Whacker To Scare Off Illegal Alien Who Allegedly Tried To Kidnap Her

A brave Amish woman used a weed whacker to scare off an illegal migrant who allegedly tried to kidnap her at knifepoint while she was doing yard work in Pennsylvania, according to local reports and the DHS.

Junior Jose Davila-Moran, 26, allegedly approached the 23-year-old woman from behind with a large knife and black handcuffs while she was weed whacking in her front yard in Lancaster County on Oct. 14., Local 12 News reported.

The knife-wielding migrant allegedly tried to handcuff the woman and claimed that everything would be okay if she complied.

In response, the quick-thinking woman started screaming and revved the weed whacker’s motor as she took a step toward the armed nutjob while screaming, which scared him away, according to an affidavit obtained by the local station.
