According to an update from Campus Safety Services, the Philadelphia Police may have the male wanted for last Wednesday’s Bagel Hut robbery in custody. Brian Crownfield, a 34-year-old white male, was arrested on September 18th for committing a similar style robbery at the Travel Lodge Hotel on Race Street.
Crownfield has been identified by the complainant in the Bagel Hut robbery, owner Joann Ciallella, but has not been formally charged for that crime pending further investigation. He is currently in custody for the Travel Lodge robbery.
Crownfield has a history in Lehigh County but currently lives in the area of 16th and Brown, southwest of Temple’s main campus. Charles Leone, deputy director of Campus Safety Services said, “We have not found Crownfield to be connected with Temple; however, a number of students live in the Brown Street area and may have interacted with Crownfield at some point.”
