Alexander Michael Sardinas of Florida was arrested this week after allegedly kidnapping a 17-year-old girl and forcing her to help him get past a COVID-19 checkpoint. The 37-year-old man and an unnamed woman from Islamorada took the girl from a Publix parking lot in Homestead, according to ABC News.
The 17-year-old girl, who’s name has been kept private, is a resident of the Florida Keys. In an effort to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, the Florida Keys have been closed to those who are not residents through the end of the month. In order to travel through the checkpoint, a driver would need to prove that they are a resident.
Sardinas and the 43-year-old woman had already tried to get through the checkpoint but were denied entry because they did not have the proper documentation. Thus, they intended to use the teenage girl to help them gain entrance. They instructed the girl, under the threat of physical harm, to drive them to Tavernier. She did as she was instructed and upon reaching the checkpoint she handed over her drivers license and proof of residence. At the time, she did not inform anyone that she had been kidnapped because she feared that she would be harmed. They were all permitted to travel on.
The 17-year-old later dropped off Sardinas at a gas station and dropped the woman off at a pharmacy. Once she was alone she called a family member who later informed police of the dangerous situation. Police were able to track down both the male and female suspects who both claimed they had never been in the car with the teenage victim. Nevertheless, their stories regarding how they met her did not match up.
