One of two Ball State University football players remains in Delaware County jail as of Tuesday afternoon after the other was released Monday, according to jail officials.
Eulas Taylor III was released at 6:34 p.m. Monday after paying the $20,000 bond that was set during a bond hearing Monday morning, jail officials said, and Brandon Houston remains in jail until his bond is paid.
Layne Cameron, media relations manager and assistant managing editor for University Marketing and Communications, would not comment on whether Taylor would continue living on campus. No one answered the phone at Taylor's room in Shales Hall.
Hearings were held at Ball State to determine if Houston and Taylor would be able to continue living on campus, Alan Hargrave, associate dean of student affairs and director of housing and residence life, said. He said he could not comment further about if the students would remain in their dorm rooms, be moved to other rooms or have to leave the residence halls.
The players were arrested Oct. 13 under suspicion of stealing laptop computers from Woody and Shales residence halls, according to police reports.
Both men await their pre-trial conferences and trials by jury before Judge Marianne Vorhees next year, according to Delaware County Circuit Court 1.
Houston's pre-trial conference will be 9 a.m. Jan. 25, 2007 and Taylor's will be 9 am. Feb. 5, 2007, circuit court officials said. Houston's trial by jury will begin 8:30 a.m. Feb. 26, 2007 and Taylor's will begin 8:30 a.m. March 5, 2007.
If convicted, according to Indiana Code, Houston and Taylor could face six to 20 years in prison for each count of burglary, which is a Class B felony. They could also receive six months to three years for receiving stolen property, which is a Class D felony.
