The burglary attempt, which was reported to have occurred between 5 p.m. Sunday and 6 a.m. Wednesday, was apparently thwarted by an injury caused by broken glass. Officers found blood on the roof near where the skylight was broken, said Deputy Salina Police Chief Carson Mansfield.
Scott D. Hartman, 2015 Raymond, a Sacred Heart student, was arrested Tuesday, and Anthony Santiago, 1115 Andrew, a former student, was arrested Thursday, accused of causing more than $3,550 damage to the skylight, metal exhaust fans, roof vents and a window at the school at 234 E. Cloud, Mansfield said.
Mansfield said Hartman received stitches for a deep cut at Salina Regional Health Center Tuesday. When police talked to him about how he received his injury, he reported that he had been attacked by several people, one who used a knife, Mansfield said. Police are seeking an additional charge of falsely reporting a crime against Hartman.
