Upon hearing this information, the witness began looking for her purse but was unable to find it. She said she remembered that the bag was outside of her room when the defendants had allegedly entered. The woman called her bank, which informed her that another purchase had been made to her account at Foot locker and as a result, cancelled the account at the store as well as her bank account.
The woman then contacted campus police, who advised her to call the Baltimore City Police Department. The Loyola officer also told her to get a credit report to see if any new accounts had been opened in her name, according to Loyola's report.
As the property was valued at over $500, both defendants were positively identified by the two witnesses as having been in the room and committed the crime, according to the court report.
Since their arraignment, both defendants have been allowed to attend classes as of Friday, March 12 but were removed from campus housing while awaiting a hearing with Student Life and their trial.
A clerk in the law office of Richard G. Berger, who is representing O'Connell, said, "Because of the situation pending, [Berger] can not make any comments at this time."
Paul Krawczyk of Warnken LLC attorneys at law, the legal representative of McManama, said "[McManama] is going to address this situation and take whatever steps are necessary. She looks forward to continuing her education at Loyola College."
A witness contacted by The Greyhound said that she had been advised by campus police not to speak to the media. Tim Fox, the director of Public Safety, said that the department does not tell students whether or not to speak with the media.
Despite repeated requests, The Greyhound was unable to obtain the official police reports for the incident and the arrests from the Baltimore City Police Department.
