Four students arrested for on campus robbery

Four Southern University students are accused of breaking into Ulysses Jones Hall dorm room on the night of February 26,2014. The students accused demanded clothes and money from the residents using a small handgun. The incident started in Jones Hall and a phone call was made from the University Apartments, Building 200.
It is unknown if any of the four students were on-campus residents. 
Detective Division of the University Police started the investigation that lead to the arrest of the four students.
On March 13, 2014, Jaleel Bridges, Rodney Briggs, and Deylan Jones were arrested on Home Invasion charges. The fourth student, Kailin Sylvain, turned himself in and was arrested on March 15, 2014. Sylvain was also charged with Home Invasion and Armed Robbery. Sylvain’s bond was set at $52,500.
According to the East Baton Rouge Parish website, Briggs was released March 14, 2014 and Sylvain was released on March 17, 2014 from East Baton Rouge Parish Prison. Records were not provided for Bridges and Jones.
Marcus Coleman, Dean of Students on Southern University’s flagship campus said,“Those four students have been placed on emergency administrative suspension until further notice.” 
Some students aren’t happy with the lack of communication about on campus crime.
Brandon Fernander, a freshman criminal justice major from Dania Beach, FL said he knew nothing about the robbery that occurred in his dorm building [Jones].
“I did not know a robbery took place or anything else about it,” said Fernander.  
Fernander also said crimes like this on campus should be made known to students immediately. “Students should be more informed about crimes on our campus. This is another memo that we should lock all our stuff up safely,” said Fernander.
