A former Miami University employee is in jail for burglary and receiving stolen property, awaiting a competency hearing June 22.

Andrew K. Sizemore, who previously worked for Miami Information Technology (IT) Services, has been indicted on 10 counts and is being held on a $50,000 bail.

According to the court reports, a grand jury in Butler County Common Pleas Court indicted Sizemore on two counts of burglary; three counts of unauthorized use of computer, cable or telecommunication property; two counts of voyeurism; one count of theft; and two counts of receiving stolen property.

Sizemore is currently awaiting a competency hearing, after pleading not guilty due to reason of insanity, according to court documents.

The Oxford Police Department (OPD) charged Sizemore with receiving stolen property and burglary Dec. 20, 2007 after Sizemore was found in possession of a Miami camera.

"We did not suspect Andrew Sizemore as a person of interest from stealing from the university until we received a report that a very expensive camera from IT Services was missing," said detective Jerry Yates with the Miami University Police Department (MUPD).

Yates said MUPD had received an e-mail from supervisors in IT Services saying an expensive camera had been missing. Yates said he looked on eBay and saw a camera that looked like the camera Miami was missing, and after checking the name on the account, found that it was Sizemore. Yates said he then conducted a search of employees and discovered Sizemore worked at IT Services.

Yates said MUPD traveled to Sizemore's house on West Rose

Avenue off of Main Street to speak with him, but no one answered the door.

Yates said he then left the property and called Sizemore's cell phone. When Yates heard a screen door slam in the background of the phone call, he said he deduced that Sizemore had been home when the police stopped by his house.

MUPD traveled back to Sizemore's house where they saw him driving away in his truck.

Yates said they were able to pull Sizemore over and asked him about the camera, which he showed them in the back of his truck. MUPD then identified the serial numbers and matched it with the missing Miami camera.

"Along with the camera in the truck, we found … camera equipment and electronics and odd things in his truck we were taking note of that appeared to be from the university," Yates said.

Also found in the back of the truck, Yates said, was a wireless router. He said OPD Sgt. John Buchholz recalled a report of a missing or stolen wireless router. After MUPD detective Don Delph matched the router numbers, police were then able to make connections between the equipment found and a theft that had occurred in an off-campus residence over winter break, according to Yates.

Yates said OPD was then able to receive a search warrant, upon which more objects and drug paraphernalia were found in Sizemore's home.

Most of the objects found were possessions of Sizemore's neighbors-four female Miami students. The items were of a personal nature, according to Yates.

A campus crime alert was not filed in regards to the incidents. According to MUPD Chief of Police John McCandless, crime alerts are filed based on a set of criteria, which the incident did not necessarily meet initially.

Additionally, the Clery Act does not require MUPD to file alerts for off-campus incidents, although McCandless said MUPD tries to file them anyway.

Claire Wagner, assistant director of university communications, said that the university will not send out a press release based on someone's arrest.

"Somebody being arrested and somebody being convicted are two different things," Wagner said. "Once everything is settled, there might be an update to a crime alert."

After he was charged, Sizemore was terminated from employment at Miami, according to his public records file.

A previous complaint against Sizemore's behavior, where he acted belligerent, yelled at a co-worker and used profanities that made her feel threatened, was filed in October 2007, according to his public records file.

McCandless pointed out, though, that human resources complaints and reports are not sent to MUPD.

McCandless said he is proud of his staff and how they handled the situation.

"This was solid police work," McCandless said. "Detective Yates heard the screen door slam and put together that (Sizemore) had been home. Based on good police work, this guy has been in jail for some time now."

Sizemore's attorney Gregory Peck was unavailable for comment.
