Don't blame him, he's old.


                  "I got the wrong Courtney," says Art Deaner when he was supposed to pick up Courtney Fetters, the daughter of Deaner's friend.
       Courtney Durr was waiting to be picked up by her mom's friend after school on Tuesday in Gloucester City, N.J. Both were supposed to be picked up at the same bus stop. When Deaner pulled up and asked for a Courtney who resembled the Courtney he was supposed to picking up. The girl said her name was Courtney and hopped in Deaner's car. The usual crossing guard had noticed that the car the Durr usually goes in didn't look like Deaner's. She wrote down  She was They talked for a while and Deaner asked her about a vacation that 6-year-old Courtney Fetters had taken. 9-year-old Durr denied ever staying with anyone on a vacation and ever going on the vacation. Deaner realized that he had the wrong Courtney.
      "I know Courtney was in Maine for two weeks," said Deaner. "I had to turn around and take her back. I got the wrong Courtney."
      "He was like, 'You weren't with Aunt Mary in Maine?'" said Courtney Durr. "No, I would never have been in Maine."
              As he was about to turn around to take Durr back, police had pulled him over and arrested him. They had gotten to him from the crossing guard's notice. He had gotten out of being charged with abduction after questioning.
        "I forgive them!" said Pam Durr, Courtney Durr's mother. "They didn't know any better because they haven't seen her in a while."
              Courtney Fetters was found safe but confused on when someone was coming to pick her up. Deaner said he just didn't recognize her because of the recent haircut and hadn't seen her in a few weeks. (A few weeks is a long time for Deaner)
