AUBURN, Maine — Just one of the four former Bates College students arrested during an alcohol-fueled campus disturbance two years ago has completed his court-ordered community service.
The men were in court Wednesday to update a judge on their progress.
They were charged with criminal conduct for their role in the May 2010 melee at the Lewiston school that involved hundreds of students. They pleaded guilty in November.
Mark Stehlik said he had completed his required 200 hours of volunteer work.
Samuel Guilford said he had completed just over half of his 200 hours. Kush Mahan and Francis Suozzo had completed 20 hours each.
The Sun Journal reported the judge gave them until November to complete the first 100 hours, and until October 2013 to complete the entire 200 hours.
2 years and they did not complete 200 hours community service ? I would say ok time to go to jail. 168 hours in a week . They have vacations summers etc. I would not have let them go 6 months. We make it way to easy on these kids. Now they have another year and a half? BS. they do not take this seriously at all .
They have another 6 months to complete the first 100 hours and a year and 5 months to complete the other 100 hours.
Like I said way to easy on them. Just my opinion thanks for clearing that up for me.
I thought you had said the time had already gone by.

Bates must have a fine admissions program there…Of course it’s Lewiston so it’s about par for the course.
You’d think that remaining a student at Bates would have been contingent on completing the court mandated community service. Maybe Mommy and Daddy had a fat checkbook.
DAMN! Community service is better than probation!
