CSS bike program opens, police catch thieves

Posted on by

During the first week of the fall semester, the Temple Police claim they have been aggressively patrolling bike racks around campus since the new prevention initiatives were implemented on Aug. 26.

Last Wednesday, Temple Police stopped two incidents of bike thefts by the use of surveillance cameras around the campus. At 4:31 a.m., one male suspect was observed by camera taking a bike in front of James Beasley School of Law. The suspect rode away with three other accomplices on bikes as the police gave chase, but was later apprehended and the bikes were confiscated for further evidence.

Another incident occurred at 10 p.m., when a female student reported her bike missing from the 1800 block of North Broad Street, on the north side of McGonigal Hall.

Based on video footage, the theft took place about a half hour before the report came in. Police located and apprehended the suspect at the corner of Woodstock Street and Montgomery Avenue, and charged him with theft.

“The quick action of the dispatchers viewing our videos assisted greatly in apprehending bike thieves,” Leone said.

In addition to traditional patrols and video surveillance CSS created a new bike registration program over the Internet. The idea was to make it easier for bike commuters to register their rides, Leone said.

“We encourage our students to visit our website,” Charles J. Leone, the deputy director of Campus Security Safety said via email. “Our department have registered over 150 bikes since Monday.”

Once a student has registered their bicycle, they can take a trip to the main headquarters at the 1100 block of West Montgomery Avenue, across from Sullivan Hall, where an officer will place a registration sticker on the bike and receive a free U-Lock.

Family Suing Two Bars For Temple Grad’s Death

Posted on by

Family members of a deceased insurance executive and Temple graduate filed a civil lawsuit last Thursday against his assailants and two bars that were allegedly serving drinks to them before the incident, according to an article in The Philadelphia Daily News.

According to the article, the suit accused two Center City bars, G Lounge in Rittenhouse Square and Lucy’s Hat Shop in Old City, of violating state law by serving the assailants Kenneth Enriquez-Santiago, Steven Ferguson and Felix Carrillo drinks after they were already showing visible signs of being drunk on the night of Jan. 11, 2012.

Later on in the early hours of Jan. 12, the three assailants were getting out of a vehicle when they proceeded to attack Kevin Kless, 23, who was trying to catch a cab with his girlfriend, leaving him unconscious and dying on the ground at the 400 block of Chestnut Street.

All three men pled guilty for the beating. Ferguson received a five to 10 year sentence for third-degree murder, while Santiago will only serve two to five years due to his plea arrangement for a lesser charge of involuntary manslaughter.

Carrillo also pled guilty of involuntary manslaughter, and is serving a two to five year sentence.

At time of press, there are no new details of the lawsuit pending for the three assailants and the establishments that were involved in the incident.
