Students at San Diego State’s residence hall community are paying extra attention to their surroundings after two assaults at the Zura Residence Hall in four days.Wayne Lamont Swingler, a 33-year-old male transient, was arrested on suspicion of sexually assaulting a female student in the Zura residence hall at 7:19 a.m. on Friday, University Police Lt. Lamine Secka said. After a friend of the victim reported the attack to police, employees spotted the suspect fleeing the building. Police then chased Swingler into an alley off Montezuma Road, where he was apprehended and booked for charges of sexual battery and kidnapping, among others.”The false imprisonment charge is because he held the victim against the wall and the kidnapping charge was added because he dragged her down the hallway,” Secka said. Police are still investigating how Swingler entered the building. “The doors (at Zura) are locked and all the security measures are in place,” Secka said. “Anyone coming into the building is required to show their ID at the front desk.” Police said the victim’s friend originally reported the attack because the victim was too upset to speak. Swingler pled not guilty yesterday at his court appearance and bail was set at $150,000. He was also ordered to not have any contact with the victim.Police were again called to Zura on Monday night to respond to another assault.That incident occurred at about 11:30 p.m. on the eighth floor foyer. Police said a male attacker grabbed a female’s neck and began to choke her. When another woman walked in on the attack, the suspect ran down a stairwell and was able to escape.The suspect is described as a light-skinned male, about 6 feet to 6 feet, 2 inches tall, wearing a black sweater or hoodie and blue jeans and sneakers.
