Can one of our attorneycat's tell me if this is a felony or not? From my understanding it would be a felony in some states even if the bike's were worth less than $1,000 if the chain was cut. Kevin said he carried wire cutters for cutting the chains on these bikes. I don't know if KS has this law or not but that's some serious crap if it does.
Good questions.
As I have understood such laws in the past, you don't even need to have a chain cut.
Not even theft under Kansas law. Most likely only criminal deprivation of property for the temporary use of the bike and criminal damage to property for the cutting of the lock. Both would only be misdemeanors assuming the lock wasn't worth over a grand. Pullen evidently knows what he's doing.
Obviously, the guy had his own pair of wire cutters he carried to campus everyday.
I am starting to think our campus has a lot of cowards if Jake was strolling out of class, whipping these cutters out and going to work on a bike chain in front of Cardwell or wherever and no one said a word.
Maybe Spencer is right, the athletes get away with murder.
