Redlands Police arrested a 27-year-old man near his Colton residence for the kidnapping and rape of a 22-year-old Redlands woman.

The woman reported that the man, an acquaintance, picked her up from work early Saturday morning, Feb. 9, in Colton and drove her to Redlands where he assaulted and raped her.

The suspect then drove back to Colton. The woman escaped and called police when the suspect stopped for gas.

At about 2 p.m., Redlands detectives attempted to contact the suspect, Jarrod Lee Macias, at his home in the 1600 block of Jeryl Avenue in Colton. When police came to the residence, Macias fled out the back door. He was apprehended after a short foot pursuit.

Macias was arrested for kidnapping and rape and transported to West Valley Detention Center.

Anyone with further information is asked to contact Detective Stephen Crane at (909) 798-7659.
