oudaily.com - OU student arrested, suspected of multiple library larcenies: "Norman police have arrested an OU student suspected of preying on sleeping students and stray purses in Bizzell Memorial Library.

Robert Franklin Taylor, 26, was arrested Wednesday on one charge of petty larceny.

OU Police Sgt. Gary Robinson said Franklin, public affairs and administration senior, is also a suspect in a burglary in November 2005 and may be a suspect in other property crimes at Bizzell Memorial Library.

Police are continuing to investigate other instances of property theft related to the case.

Just before 5 p.m. Dec. 19, security cameras spotted a hooded figure in a blue jacket logging in to one of the computers in the library, according to an affidavit. Three minutes later, cameras spied the figure taking a woman’s purse."
