DELTONA -- A 19-year-old man was charged Wednesday with attempted sexual assault of a 14-year-old girl with a knife near the Deltona Library, the Volusia County Sheriff's Office reported.

A passerby frightened off the attacker after she screamed for help, a sheriff's spokesman said.

Descriptions provided by witnesses helped Sheriff's investigators identify Anthony Egan, who now faces five felony charges in the attack.

By controlling which drugs are allowed on the market, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has extorted a large toll in drug costs, drug availability and human life throughout our nation -- greater New Smyrna Beach no exception.
The FDA has greatly delayed the introduction of some useful drugs and totally eliminated the introduction of others.

It is estimated that 85 percent of the cost of drugs is caused by the FDA procedures.

The victim was identified as 37-year-old Kendra Vodron Wettter, stabbed in the 700 block of Segrave Avenue.
