Two men arrested under OU campus
Transcript Staff
Two Norman men face felony charges after allegedly breaking into a tunnel under the University of Oklahoma campus to get into a building on the South Oval.
Christopher Thomas Boyce, 24, and James Kent Eldridge, 20, were charged Thursday in Cleveland County District Court with conspiracy to commit burglary and second-degree burglary.
According to an affidavit, a witness saw Boyce and Eldridge entering an underground tunnel system by cutting the locks to a manhole cover in the 1100 block of Asp Avenue. Police said the pair then opened a perimeter door and entered Richards Hall, where they removed a "stoppered glass vial."
Other felonies filed Thursday include:
Calvin Hurd Jr., 44, Noble, domestic abuse;
Chance Wayne Bates, 27, Moore, unlawful possession of a controlled drug.
