It was a Chris Hansen kind of deal. ” said the sheriff. Sheriff Judd said when the man saw Chris Hansen, he was a “fanboy.

” The sheriff said the department “appreciated him talking to Chris. ” “This dude just talked Chris Hansen’s ears off. Well, Matthew, I know you’re star struck.

You’re also jail struck,” the sheriff said. Hansen, known for his work with NBC’s “Dateline” served as the host of “To Catch A Predator” and in 2020, debuted a new YouTube Series called “Have A Seat with Chris Hansen. “.
