and i just -- i pray that the truth will come out and i'll be vindicated and that's all i have to say. reporter: things could change, but right now it appears the case will go to trial early next year. derek. >> all right. thank you, gary. well, take a good luck at this man. a 23-year-old nathan portnoy and he's charged with first degree assault, kidnapping a child and sexual solicitation. police say he took up a phone relationship with a 12-year-old girl who had posed as an adult. he picked her up last week near her home. eventually she asked him to pull over and she got out. a family member was driving by, saw the girl, decided to follow portnoy. police say he pointed a gun at them. in the back of his car, they found a gun, ammunition, handcuffs, zip tie, ropes, a black ski mask and condoms.

police are investigating whether he was in any other crimes and if anybody knows anything about that call the cops. we have chilling evidence about a child sex offender and police think there may be more victims. michael brochu was rearrested after he allegedly committed more offenses against children after posting bond twice. here is andrea mccarren with more. >> reporter: michael brochu has a history of child sex offense dating back to the 1980s. in 1983, a howard county judge sentenced him to five years in prison. but then suspended the entire system. 53-year-old michael brochu of bowie is now under investigation for the sexual abuse of four children. >> the victims are four boys, and they range from age 6-11 years of age. >> reporter: he assaulted them in his home.

one victim told police brochu would fond will him at the somehow -- fondle him at the shower and give him money after each encounter. the boy told police he would use that money to buy treats at the snack bar. >> some were in his care. others, for example, this 11-year-old, the recent arrest, he did not know this individual. >> reporter: in fact, brochu had been arrested for allegedly arresting children and posted bond both times. he was rearrested last week after the 11-year-old came forward. >> we have no comment. >> reporter: at brochu's home, his wife and adult daughter declined an interview but confirmed brochu is behind bars. in the meantime, police fear other children may have been molested. >> we possibly have more young victims out there and we want them to come forward. we are here to help them. >> reporter: what is especially dirs tushing is that in 189 -- disturbing is that in 1983 he

pled guilty of assaulting two children. he was in the air force at the time. brochu is not listed in maryland's sex offender registry. likely because his crimes dated back to the 1980s. and the registry was not available to the public until 1996. in the newsroom, andrea mccarren, 9news now. what was hurricane isaac is now blamed for at least seven deaths. and the remnants of the storm are churning north, dumping heavy rain on the country's heartland. back in louisiana, isaac has left behind mess and misery. thousands can't even go back to their homes yet because of all of the flooding. homes not protected by the new levee system like the one belonging to bobby landry. his newly renovated house all but swept away by the floods. >> this house never had a drop of floods during katrina. we figured if we had a hurricane

it would increase the wall, and it sure did. >> let's find out how isaac is going to affect us this holiday weekend. topper shutt. >> the silver lining here, as you mentioned, the remnants are moving north into the midwest. they need some rain there. let me show you the radar and show you where the remnants are. pushing out of missouri, at least northern missouri, and then up into southern sections of iowa. but notice also some showers well to the east in the ohio valley. so even though the center is pretty far back to the west doesn't mean you can't have some showers well ahead of the center. so let's talk about the beach and boating forecast. isolated shower tomorrow. but i think saturday is going to be the best day to be on the water. 86 to about 90. now, on sunday, an increasing chance of showers and thunderstorms. 82-87. winds turn southeasterly at 10. so boaters need to be very aware on sunday. keep an eye to the sky. if you're going to the beaches, you're in pretty good shape. in fact, great shape tomorrow. temperatures tomorrow about 85. sunshine. no threat of showers. an isolated shower possible on

sunday. we'll come back and testimony you which day will be the better of the three. when you can keep the tee times and when you might have to cancel them. extreme times often call for extreme measures, and that's why one army veteran is staging a hunger strike to get attention. he says it's time to do something radical about the rising number of suicides among service men and women. our ken molestina spoke to the man on the mission. he's live with the story. >> reporter: we're talking about tom mahay 346789 aha mahaney of michigan. he'll do it until he has the attention. service men and women are committing suicide at an alarming rate. it is a hot button issue. >> i'm doing it because it needs to be done. somebody has to light the fire. >> reporter: so he's taking the stand by going on a hunger strike.

in nearly two weeks he's had nothing to eat, just water to drink. and he's hoping those actions will get those with power to do something about it. >> they need to give the recipient of these wounds of same honor and respect to those that are visible. >> reporter: there were 26 cases in july, compared to 12 in june. they described the problem as -- >> the most frustrating challenge that i've come across since becoming secretary of defense. >> reporter: he went onto admit that to date nothing has worked in halting the ever rising number of troops committing suicide. >> despite the increased efforts, the increased attention, the trends continue to move in a troubling and tragic direction. >> reporter: mahaney is asking

the obama administration to put together an advisory committee to study mental health. in the meantime, the first step is launching a campaign to destigmatize the way society views mental health. >> they need to change the name from posttraumatic stress disorder to traumatic stress injury. >> reporter: and this isn't his first hunger strike. he did it back in 1970 and 2009 on two separate issues. but this time around, he's hopeful change will come soon because he's already begun conversations with washington brass. just so you know, the month of september has already been designated as suicide he prevention month by the army. a former navy seal says he did not violate any rules when he wrote the book about the bin laden raid. he got legal advice before he published the book. they considered legal action against him. it has not made a final judgment

the first time we're hearing the calls made moments after a deadly train accident in ellicott city. take a listen. >> 911. >> i'm in ellicott city. the train fell over. >> where is this, sir? >> this is ellicott city. on main street. the train fell off the track. >> the crash on august 20th claimed the lives of two young women. they were sitting on a bridge at the time the train derailed and they were buried under all of the coal that spilled out. now a follow-up that led our newscast last night. the fire in an apartment building in temple hills, maryland. a hero eme a 20-year veteran of prince george's county fire department. he heard screams for helped and raced inside the building. he found an elderly woman on the second floor trapped by smoke and flames. >> she says i can't breathe. it's hot. it's smokey. so i took my regulator off and started sharing my air with her.

from the gallery to georgetown, we have mice and more and roaches an other stuff in tonight's food alert. if you don't want 9 wants to know investigator reporter showing up at your door, you have to have a staff member on duty who is trained to keep the public safe. >> reporter: that job is called the food protection manager.

it is required. and as you're about to see, restaurants that operate without one are likely to have other violations too. and they could make you sick. red top express's gourmet coffee bar is a perfect example. besides, a citation for no food safety manager, inspectors reported a dirty toilet, dirty food contact points on floor, no hot water and hand washing violations. the manager said i dispute it all and hung up on me. when we came by, it was still closed. it is just down the street from wisconsin in the heart of georgetown cited for 28 violations. even after a closure at ching's carry out, customers raved about the crabs and rice but it's the smell and mice that alarmed inspectors. they cite the restaurant with mice droppings all over the

prior to a closure, they show amc theaters was warned about not having a food protection manager on duty. across the street at cozy, inspectors gave the same warning. despite the notice last week inspectors report they closed cosi when it continued to operate without a food protection manager, two months of inspection reports tracked the warnings. dirty food contact points and mice droppings. >> oh, yes, it kind of does. i think i'm going to take off now. >> reporter: back at masa galleria, inspect inspectors said no food safety manager. violations they had been warned about twice in inspections last month where they also cited mold on the ice machine and debris in the movie theater's popcorn drawer. except for red top express in georgetown, the others have passed reinspection and reopened. we facebook and tweet our food alert patrols so you can

it is brought to you by michael and son. and we're looking at really a pretty nice evening. all things considered. temperature didn't make it to 97 today. still 85 right now. a little more on the humid side. pressure at 32.0 pressures of mercury. it is on the rise. the good news is the bulk of the moisture from isaac will stay to the west of us. so heavy, heavy rain this weekend as we go through tonight, tomorrow night, northern missouri and iowa and especially western illinois. now, we're talking 3-5 inches of rain with some spots maybe getting six or seven inches of rain. that said, notice there's showers nashville up to cincinnati and moisture ahead of it and instability. we're fine tonight. i think quite frankly we'll be fine tomorrow. i think we can start to go downhill on sunday and especially on labor day. so saturday the best of the three. keep your tee times. no doubt about that. as we get into the latter part of sunday, i think that's going

to be the best chance for showers and storms. and then on monday, labor day, more showers and storms. so not a washout. not going to rain continuously. but certainly saturday will be the better of the three days. that's not going to change. overnight clear skies, breezy and mild. 68-74. winds west, northwest at 10-15. now, we'll get into the morning. and plenty of sunshine tomorrow morning and warm. temperatures in the 70s and 80s. so it's not as hot tomorrow as today but temperatures going back into the low 90s and the winds will be north, northwest at about 10. air quality moderate. 70s and 80s to start. all right. now, let's talk about the next three days. we're going to keep tomorrow as a code green day. we're not concerned about the afternoon thunderstorm tomorrow. we're going to go code yellow on sunday and labor day.

91 tomorrow. isolated storm. don't change your plans. more storms on sunday. quite frankly, some could be in the morning. 86. and then 88 on labor day, monday, with more storms. now, the next seven days, afternoon storms on tuesday, wednesday, even thursday. heating up too. low 90s wednesday and thursday. friday. sunshine back in the mid 80s. high school football starts wh'so ecl oumi byb cese?
