Gotta catch ’em all has a different meaning for two former Marines in Cali. The vets were playing Pokemon Go in Orange County.

Seth Ortega and Javier Soch managed to look up from the game — hear that everybody else playing? — and saw an odd looking man, appearing to hassle some kids on a playground.

When they approached the man, he told them he was looking for cigarettes. After he walked away, the man approached another woman and put his hand on one of her boys.

Ortega ushered the man away. Police were called. When they got the guy back at the station, they realized he had an outstanding warrant… for attempted murder.
