Two Students Charged With Rutgers Dorm Robbery

Two Rutgers students have been charged in connection with a dorm robbery, including one who is already facing charges in connection with a separate home invasion case, authorities said.

Jamil C. Pollard, 21, of Woodbury, and Lloyd M. Terry Jr., 20, of Wrightstown, have been charged with robbery, conspiracy to commit robbery and burglary.

The two young men stole cash and marijuana from a student in a Davidson Hall dorm room on the Busch campus in Piscataway in December 2014, according to a news release from Middlesex County Prosecutor Andrew C. Carey and New Brunswick Police Director Anthony A. Caputo.

No one was injured during that robbery, authorities said.

Pollard, was arrested Monday evening, at the Camden campus of Rutgers University. He transferred there from the New Brunswick campus, the news release said.

Pollard enrolled at Penn State in the summer of 2012, but transferred to Rutgers when transfers were permitted in the wake of the Sandusky scandal, according to NJ.com. He was injured before the 2013 season, and returned to the team that spring, but had not been involved in team activities since the fall of 2014, according to NJ.com.

He is not charged in the other cases, and he is free on $50,000 bail.

Terry had previously been charged in an April 26 home invasion case in New Brunswick. He was served with the new charges on Sept. 11 and his bail is now set at $225,000, authorities said.

He made his initial appearance in state Superior Court Tuesday, where he entered a plea of not guilty, and his attorney described him as a good kid who comes from an upstanding family, according to NJ.com.

He remains at the Middlesex County Adult Corrections Center in North Brunswick.

Terry was dismissed from the school’s football team after his arrest last week on armed robbery, armed burglary and conspiracy charges in connection with the Prosper Street home invasion case.

A total of nine Rutgers students have now been charged in connection with either at least one robbery case or with another case that authorities have described an an unprovoked attack on a group of people on a city street.

Six of those who have been charged were members of the school’s football team, but they have now been dismissed from that squad.

Authorities said the investigation is continuing. Anyone with information is asked to call Detective Drew Weiss of the New Brunswick Police Department at (732) 745-5217, or Detective Gregory Morris of the Middlesex County Prosecutor’s Office at (732) 745-4054.
