On February 22, detectives conducted surveillance of the school bus stop at 15th Avenue NW and Clearwater-Largo Road N, where they say Ndregjoni followed and inappropriately touched the victim on February 21.

Detectives observed Ndregjoni stalking the victim, as he trailed her to her apartment complex. Detectives immediately arrested Ndregjoni, who admitted to repeatedly following the underage victim as well as attempting to kiss and touch her inappropriately. He also said he knew she was under 16 years old.

“He made admissions to the fact that he did not know the victim, that he was attracted to her," said Largo Police Lt. Randall Chaney. "That he attempted to kiss her, that he had touched her and that he also knew that she was younger than 16 years of age.”

Residents of the area we spoke to said they were not surprised.

"There's a lot of weirdos in this area," said resident Jasmine Schweikle. "It kind of comes with the territory over here."

Another resident, Mike Henderson, told us he even recognized Ndregjoni.

"I’ve seen him walk up, down my street right here, I’ve seen him hang out at the mobile homes over here," Henderson told us. "It’s just disturbing that he’s so close to my neighborhood and there’s kids here.”

Ndregjoni has been charged with aggravated stalking on a child under 16-years-old and lewd and lascivious molestation.

Largo police are looking for more victims and ask that anyone whose child may have been stalking by Ndregjoni to contact the department at 727587-6730.
