Santa Fe ups security on campus

Santa Fe College has added extra police officers, lights and self-defense classes on campus after the Jan. 12 kidnapping.

An 18-year-old Trenton woman was abducted in a campus parking lot. She escaped that night and is taking classes again, according to a news release on the SFC website.

The Santa Fe College Police Department is using more officers during school hours, and at times, members of the Alachua County Sheriff's Office and University Police have been brought in.

SFCPD has added lights in a parking lot in the northwest corner of campus and by the Health Sciences Annex, the southernmost building.

SFC is also offering students extra Rape Aggression Defense classes. The class will be taught four times in February and three times each in March, April and May.

The kidnapper has not been caught. The suspect stands between 5 feet 8 inches and 5 feet 11 inches, and is in his late 20s or early 30s. He has short hair, an unshaven face and a tattoo on his right hand, according to the Sheriff's Office.

He drives a small, dark pickup trick with tinted windows and a gray interior.
