Police arrested a suspected serial stalker Monday night on UCF main campus.
Eric Cruz, 25, was arrested after trying to run from police by Parking Garage D across from the CFE Arena. It was the third time that dispatchers have been called about Cruz approaching females, according to police.
Cruz allegedly approached the victim, a parking garage attendant, and asked “can I talk to you around the corner” multiple times, according to police. After the victim told him she did not want to go with him, he continued to ask her.
The victim then went into her supervisor’s office and called the UCF Police Department, where Cruz was waiting outside actively looking for her, according to police.
When police arrived, Cruz tried to outrun the police before he was arrested on charges of trespassing, giving people a fake name and stalking.
The victim told police that she wishes to prosecute Cruz in reference to stalking.
