A cook at Sadler Dining Hall was arrested last week and charged with three offenses, including unlawful surveillance, according to a police bulletin. It is unclear what led to the arrest.

Patrick Martin, 32, of Syracuse, was arrested Thursday at about 12:45 p.m. on the charges of coercion, unlawful surveillance and harassment, according to a Syracuse Police Department bulletin. Martin is listed in the Syracuse University directory as a “Second Cook.” He was arrested at 1000 Irving Ave., which is the location of Sadler Hall.

Neither an incident report nor an arrest report were posted at the police station, as of noon on Sunday.

Sgt. Richard Helterline, a Syracuse police spokesman, said that “due to the sensitive nature” of the case, SPD is not releasing any further information.

Kevin Quinn, SU’s senior vice president for public affairs, said in an email Monday morning that the conduct leading to Martin’s arrest is not related to SU. He added that the “only connection” is that the individual was arrested at his job at Sadler Dining.

An email to Martin’s SU email address also went unreturned as of Sunday night.

Coercion is defined as “the intimidation of a victim to compel the individual to do some act against his or her will by the use of psychological pressure, physical force, or threats.”

The Daily Orange will continue to report information as this story develops.
