>Javier Soch and Seth Ortega went to downtown Fullerton on Tuesday hoping to hunt monsters on the new Pokemon Go smartphone game. Instead, the Marine Corps veterans helped police in the Orange County city catch a man who was bothering children at a playground. Investigators later learned the man was wanted for attempted murder by authorities in Sonoma County. "It's not what we were expecting our day to turn out with," said Ortega, who is pursuing his associate's degree in automatic technology at nearby Fullerton College.
>"The game, when it loads up on the screen, says to be cautious of your surroundings. Strongly follow that advice."
>At some point, Soch's game froze near a museum at Pomona and Wilshire avenues. He looked up and saw a man who appeared to be scaring a woman and her three sons. The man appeared odd, wearing a mismatched outfit with an oversized jacket and a baseball cap. He held an artificial rose in his hand, Ortega said. At some point he snapped his fingers and appeared fidgety.
>After the man walked away, he approached another woman who was with her two sons, Soch said. He briefly talked with the mother, but as he walked away, he managed to wipe his hand across one of the boy's chest or shoulders. The mother did not seem to notice the touching, but Soch said it made him uncomfortable, so he continued observing the man.
>The man made his way over to the park, where the mother and two sons had ventured. Then, Soch and Ortega saw the man grab one of the boy's feet and move his hand up the boy's leg. The two men immediately sensed a threat. Ortega bolted to the park and escorted the man away, while Soch stayed with the two mothers and five children. Police arrived and detained the man for questioning. Officers took witness statements from Soch and Ortega as well as the mothers and their sons.
