Vincent Roop

Vincent Robert Roop, a former school custodian and alleged predator, was apprehended during a sting operation in Marquette County, Michigan. Roop, known for his unique speech and constant fear of harm, lived in Newberry, Michigan with his therapy cat that assisted him with Major Depression and an anxiety disorder. Prior to moving to Michigan in 2021, he lived in Wyoming and worked as a custodian at Yellowstone National Park nd a civic center. During the sting, Roop mistakenly tried to enter through the garage door, was wearing a shirt with actress Nia Peeples on it, and became hysterical when confronted by Chris Hansen, pleading for his safety and claiming ignorance of the decoy's age. After Chris asked him how he got into the situation that day, Roop responded, "I drove here." Roop claimed that he did not know the decoy's age. Chris asked what would have happened had the situation not been a sting, to which Roop said, "Something bad, maybe? Is-is that a right answer?" He then said that he probably would have had sex. Chris told Roop that he was "a grown ass man." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
