Lacey Kincaid told News Center 7 that her 13-year-old daughter was approached by a man in a car.
That’s when her daughter started recording the man. In the video, the man asks the teen if she liked crack.
The teen then ran home, and her mother called the police.
Police arrested 71-year-old Codispoti.
“He doesn’t need to be on the streets if he’s gonna, if he’s gonna proposition young children in that kind of way. That’s just sick,” Kincaid said.
Codispoti is due next in court on Oct. 21.
