LATE-BREAKING: Mideast Region Baseball Tournament Coming to Marietta

Marietta College to host the NCAA Division III Mideast Regional Baseball Tournament in 2010. This will be the 12th Mideast Regional at Marietta College, which last hosted in 2002. Stay tuned to Writing on the Mall for more information on this developing story.

UPDATE: $152,000 Bond for MC Student

The Marietta Municipal Court has set bond for Thomas Robison at $152,000, according to this Marietta Times article.

This means that Robison (or friends and family of Robison) may pay only have to pay $15,200 to get out of jail prior to his trial.  However, depending on a October 9 date in court, he may be required to serve 33 days of jail time stemming from a probation violation before being allowed to post bail.

The court also scheduled Robison for a preliminary hearing on October 7.

Marietta College has still made no mention of the crime or their course of action to students, which still worries some students.  While obviously innocent until proven guilty, prior incidents carried swift response for the college.  When Robert Walker’s collection of guns and ammo was found in his car, he was swiftly suspended by the college.

UPDATE: Probation Violation Could Delay Bail

Thomas Robison, the MC student who allegedly stabbed a local man over the weekend, was arraigned today at the Marietta Municipal Court.

According to the report from the Marietta Times, Robison violated the terms of his probation, stemming from a OVI (operating a vehicle while intoxicated) charge he picked up last year.  He received a 33 day suspended sentence, which he would not have had to serve if he had not violated his probation.  Alongside the first-degree felony robbery charge, he was also charged with first-degree misdemeanor probation violation.  This means that he may have to serve the 33 days he was originally charged with before he can post bail.

This news should put many students at ease, since the College has not publicly stated their course of action yet.  But with the potential of 33 days before Robison can post bail, they can now take their time to investigate the situation and formulate a plan of action.

UPDATE: MC Student Faces Up To 10 Years for Alleged Stabbing

The Marietta Times (click link for full story and mugshot) now has their article up disclosing some more information regarding the alleged stabbing that took place Saturday night.

The Marietta City Police arrested Thomas Robinson for allegedly stabbing a local resident in a robbery attempt.  Reportedly, he confessed to the crime after being arrested in his dorm room.

Robinson now faces up to 10 years for the robbery charge, if convicted.  He will be arraigned on the charge today at 1 PM at the Marietta Municipal Court.

The man he stabbed is currently in stable condition at the hospital.

The College has stated that they are working with both CPS and the Marietta City Police, but have not done much else at the moment.  Students I have talked to are wondering why they were not notified of the incident or the arrest.  I would assume once the college’s investigation concludes, we will be notified with their response and course of action.
