Stolen wallet, campus helicopter landing reported
By Dillon Hart, Staff Writer
Student Robert Kramer’s wallet and cell phone were stolen from the Wellness Center July 3, according to a campus crime report.
Security officer Larry Lundy reported Kramer set the items on a counter top near the lockers and entered a toilet stall.
When Kramer returned for his things a few minutes later, his black T-Mobile cell phone and brown bi-fold leather wallet were missing.
This is the second recently reported case of theft from the Wellness Center.
Lundy said people should be more careful with their possessions.
“The way the items were left out in the open, it was just one of those situations where he didn’t take enough credence in his own items to store them safely away,” Lundy said.
On July 5, security officer John Hughes reported assisting Air One — the Oklahoma City Police Depart-ment’s main aircraft unit — in an emergency landing on the OCCC campus.
According to the report, the pilot of Air One had the son of an Oklahoma City field officer on a “ride along.”
However, the pilot received a report of a robbery and began to maneuver over the crime area.
“They were following somebody around… I think it was in reference to a burglary of a domicile,” Hughes said.
“And of course, in order to transverse the area, he started going around and around… then back and forth, and the circling, and spiraling. [The young man] just got air sick.”
Hughes said the passenger looked about 18 or 19 years old. After being dropped off on campus, a squad car was sent to pick him up.
“It was one of those things… ‘This looks like the biggest open field I can land in, so I’m going for it.’” Hughes said.
