At the residence, officers arrested David Anthony Cookman, 50, formultiple counts of burglary, receiving stolen property and conspiracy.

“Based on information we received, we were able to develop a secondsuspect,” Hamrick said. “Officers returned to the station on campus andmade a second arrest early Friday morning.”

The second suspect, Jerry Whittaker, 41, was on his job as a Sac Statecustodian when officers contacted him. Whittaker gave a statement andwas arrested for multiple counts of burglary, conspiracy and possessionof methamphetamines, according to Hamrick.
