Police: Men arrested after failed window escape
May 13, 2011 9:18am EDT
State College police said two men vandalized a State College apartment early Thursday before one fell out a three-story window and both were arrested.
After O’Mahoney regained consciousness minutes later, not knowing his name or location, officers went to the apartment, where Eric Paulson, 21, of Ferguson Township, was with employees of the landlord, police said.
According to court documents, Paulson said he and O’Mahoney, after drinking all night, entered the apartment with the key code intending to wreck it in retaliation for damage they said the apartment owner had done to their place.
Police said the apartment had about $1,000 in damages, including several holes in the walls, paint poured on the floor and walls, overturned furniture, fire extinguisher foam, and a destroyed closet door.
Paulson told officers that after he and O’Mahoney heard knocking at the front door, O’Mahoney wanted to jump out the window, police said.
Paulson said he started to help lower him from the window but let go when O’Mahoney said he was OK, police said.
O’Mahoney was treated at Mount Nittany Medical Center for unspecified injuries and released, police said.
Both men were arraigned on charges of burglary, conspiracy to commit burglary, criminal mischief, criminal trespass and tampering with fire apparatus.
Police said officers heard a loud crash at 1:48 a.m. and found Robert O’Mahoney, 23, of Caldwin, N.Y., face down and unconscious between the Shandygaff bar and the Tavern Restaurant.
