Theft Leads To Suspension

A Texarkana College freshman has been placed on disciplinary suspension for 12 months as a result of his admission to the theft of money and personal possessions stolen from faculty offices during the past three weeks.

The freshman confessed to the thefts last week. The investigation of the crimes was conducted by campus security officers Louis Aycock and Thomas White.

At the conclusion of the 12-month suspension, the former student may request a hearing before a special admissions committee. The committee may either admit the individual on a probationary basis or extend the suspension.

Bill R. Hughes, dean of students and director of campus security, praised the work of officers Aycock and White, stating that the two had worked diligently on this case for approximately two weeks.
