CCC STUDENT-ATHLETE
ARRESTED -Josh Cradduck, Editor-in-chief Cayuga Community College British student athlete Martin Kenny, 22, was formally charged with felony third-degree criminal possession of stolen property. Kenny, who is a star soccer player at CCC, was arrested Sunday April 24th for the theft of another student’s bags. Martin Kenny is one of the nation’s leading goal scorers, and is an All-American player. Two duffel bags, assessed at a value of close to $5,000, were stolen from the common suite in Cayuga Community College’s student housing complex, Lattimore Hall. The bags, belonging to another CCC student, were to be picked up by Fed-Ex and shipped to New York City in preparation for the end of spring classes. When she realized her property had been stolen, the student reported the theft to a Lattimore Hall resident advisor. Apparently, the advisor found the bags in Kenny’s room. Staff members at Lattimore Hall check student’s rooms every
week. This incident was the latest in roughly 30 calls this year requiring response by the Auburn City Police at Lattimore Hall. According to Auburn Deputy Police Chief Thomas Murphy, the sudden string of calls is quite unusual. “For basically what is an apartment building, 32 calls in four months is excessive,” he said. Lattimore Hall supervising manager Sheila MacEwain will not comment on the startling amount of police calls coming from the hall, which houses around 70 students. Martin Kenny is the second British student at Cayuga Community College to be arrested this month. Student athlete Phillip Collinson, 20, is being held in Batavia, New York for threatening the life of former CCC soccer coach Charles Allen. He formally received a misdemeanor charge of second-degree menacing and stalking by Auburn City Court. Collinson was also given a deportation order.
