Mon, Jan 24, 2011

A Colgate student was arrested last week and charged with breaking into and damaging property at a sorority.

Hamilton Police Chief Rick Gifford today announced his department last week arrested a Colgate student in connection with a break-in at a sorority house on Broad Street.

Gifford said Daniel T. Menken, 21, of 34 Wild Duck Rd. in Wyckoff, NJ -- a Colgate student living locally at 22 College St. --  was arrested late Thursday in connection with a break-in that day at the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority, located at 40 Broad St. He was charged with second degree burglary (a Class C felony) and fourth degree criminal mischief (a Class A misdemeanor).

Gifford said Meken allegedly entered the sorority illegally and damaged property in an apartment.

He was arraigned in Village Court and sent to the Madison County Jail on $10,000 cash or $20,000 bond bail.
