Waitress Karen Griggs says:
“Normally I work first shift, but somebody laid out that night so I had to work second,”
Griggs believes she was working that shift, and that table for a reason.
“Whenever I looked into those little girl’s eyes, God put it in my heart that something was wrong,” Griggs says.

Griggs says, maybe it was because she herself had been molested as a child, but whatever the reason, she decided to talk to the girls, who told her they were from Florida, heading to Michigan on a camping trip. Griggs says she asked the girls if Sherwood was their grandfather, and they would only reply “My daddy’s at home.”

But it was when the man took one of the girls to the bathroom that Griggs got a feeling she can’t explain. “The man went to the bathroom with the smallest child for about fifteen minutes,” Griggs says. “It just gave me the creeps.”

Griggs went outside and checked out Sherwood’s car and didn’t see any camping gear. She told her husband she wasn’t leaving until she called police.

“I told them that there was an old man and two little girls.. and if it was nothing wrong, I’m sorry, but please go check it out,” Griggs recalls.

Police questioned Sherwood, and according to their affidavit, while he was talking to detectives, he was playing with a camera.
Sherwood allowed police to look at the pictures and the affidavit states what they saw was inappropriate. “Young females running around in nothing but panties… more pictures showed a girl who appeared to be nude with her legs in the air… and others focused on a girl’s genitalia.”

The father admitted to police that there had been warning signs: one of his daughters had previously told him that Sherwood had taken naked pictures of her in the past. The father told police he saw those pictures, but erased them.

According to the affidavit, detectives uncovered more than just pictures. They say they found evidence that when Sherwood took the girl to the Waffle House bathroom, he touched the little girl and then made the child touch his private parts.

Police say, a suspected child molester is off the streets because Griggs trusted a hunch.

“It feels great. It touches my heart,” Griggs says. “”If you have a feeling that something is not right, call the police.”

There was also a talk on the web of Karen Griggs being fired and they are not true.
