An Ohio State student was attacked by a burglar early Wednesday morning when she discovered a man rummaging through her Lincoln Tower dorm room, University Police said.Erin Boldi, the OSU student, left her bedroom at around 6 a.m. Wednesday and was startled to find a man stealing her textbooks. A DVD player and some movies were also taken, and the thief escaped with over $700 worth of property.Police have issued an arrest warrant for 31-year old Kenneth Jackson in connection with the crime. He is still at large.”I just started screaming,” Boldi said. “Then he came at me and started to hit me.”After discovering the man in her room, Boldi ran over and struck him in the head, but the burglar turned and punched her several times, causing bruises to her head and face, according to police.Boldi chased the man from her room, but he snatched a backpack on his way out, she said.She said she had no idea how the burglar got into her dorm room.”We don’t know how he got in, that’s what really makes us scared,” she said. “If we had left the door open, I wouldn’t feel so insecure.”Boldi said the residence adviser observed that their door was shut at 5:45 a.m. The doors in Lincoln lock automatically when shut, leaving her to believe the suspect might have had a key or some other means of getting inside.Robert Barnett, safety and security coordinator for Housing, Food Services and Event Centers at OSU, said he thinks it is doubtful that the thief had a key made.”I think their door was open,” he said. “In fact, I’m 99.9 percent sure it was open.”University Police are still investigating, but Boldi doesn’t think they have looked at all of the options.”I don’t think they believed me that the door was shut,” she said. “I felt like they didn’t keep all their options open. They just assumed that it was a random person from the street. That’s what makes me mad.”This is not the first time something similar to this has happened in this area of campus.University Police Chief Ron Michalec said that there have been several robberies in Morrill and Lincoln Towers in the past week, all between 6 a.m. and 7 a.m., and it is suspected that Jackson was involved in all of them.”We are definitely going to be talking to him about some of the others (burglaries),” Michalec said. “By virtue of the fact they’ve stopped indicates he was involved, but we can’t be positive yet. We want him pretty bad.”Lincoln Tower is locked in the morning yet many residents of the dorm let people into the building when they themselves are entering or exiting the dorm, Barnett said.”It’s not real hard to get into these places, you just have to wait by the door until someone comes out,” Barnett said. “The problem is that students, and most people in general, tend not to challenge people who do that.”Boldi’s parents, as well as several other parents of students in the dormitory, plan to meet with university officials to discuss increasing security measures in the area.Since the robberies, an officer has been posted in the residence hall and the University Safety Service as well as University Police have intensified patrols in the area.This is not the first time Jackson has been accused of breaking into dormitory rooms. He was arrested and convicted for robbing rooms in Morrill Towers.”He was arrested a year and half ago for the same thing,” Barnett said. “He got six years, but they paroled him after one.”
