STILLWATER, Okla. (KTUL)

These days, news spreads fast on a college campus.

Many students on OSU's Stillwater campus had already heard about 26-year-old Kwamain Baker and what he's accused of doing.

Stillwater police said Baker made lewd comments to a 15-year-old girl and even tried to touch her as she walked home from the library Tuesday.

Just a day before, police said he followed a college-aged girl home to her apartment and banged on her door.

Baker was arrested Wednesday morning in Stillwater.

It was a crash course for these OSU students in the oddities of human behavior.

"It's kind of sad to know that we live in a world where you can't trust just anyone who's walking around," said Mckenzie Merritt, a freshman at OSU.

But bad news isn't something new to these guys.

"I have pepper spray for a reason," said Julianne Heath, a sophomore at OSU.

Caleb Harp, also a student at OSU, said the students look after each other on campus.

"It's a family here, and everyone watches out for everyone," said Harp.

Leah Storm with the OSU Police Department said they work hard to keep students safe, even offering a safe escort to your car at night.

"We have students that are employed by our department who operate that program," said Storm.

OSU police also offer an app for your smart phone. With the app, students can check bus routes, call 911 or arrange for someone to walk them across campus.

Even so, students here said Baker is a good reminder to always stay on high alert.
