Two Norman men face felony charges after allegedly breaking into a tunnel under the University of Oklahoma campus to get into a building on the South Oval.

Christopher Thomas Boyce, 24, and James Kent Eldridge, 20, were charged Thursday in Cleveland County District Court with conspiracy to commit burglary and second-degree burglary.

According to an affidavit, a witness saw Boyce and Eldridge entering an underground tunnel system by cutting the locks to a manhole cover in the 1100 block of Asp Avenue. Police said the pair then opened a perimeter door and entered Richards Hall, where they removed a "stoppered glass vial."

Yuppers, it's his son

[Rte66]

I couldn't find anything quickly, just scanning, about any candidacy in relation to him, but that would only have been if official. I'm certain he is a Dim, however.

[LibertyRocks]

Thanks for the confirmation on that Rte66. It makes it all the more interesting...

Two more published articles regarding these two men... Note:
1) They are not reporting that they are students

It's kinda creepy that they broke into the building right next door to Cross Hall, out of all the buildings on campus.

I am trying to remember the tunnels, but getting a blank. Maybe they were either way before my time or way after. I do recall being able to walk to some other area from the basement of the union, at the time they had the pizza place down there, and maybe other times before that, but I can't remember where we came out.

They had put in some other little stores and things there. This was all at the far opposite end from the Ming Room (is it still there?)--I guess south. Then a few years later, they were all gone.

Wasn't there a guy named Christopher Boyce who was a big spy for the Russians?

[Rte66]

Ah, yes. Looks like Daddy made some phone calls. Now he's just "James" Eldridge, no Kent to it.

Oh.....I just found this.......

A University of Oklahoma student accused of transporting an explosive device into Will Rogers World Airport in Oklahoma City last week is still enrolled and could begin classes at the Norman campus next Monday.

OU public affairs vice president Catherine Bishop confirmed Tuesday aviation senior Charles Alfred Dreyling Jr. is still a student. Dreyling is one semester away from completing an aviation management degree, according to his lawyer Kent Eldridge.

I'll look through what you've found in a moment (finsishing up my daily Threat Matrix Links List.) Thank you for finding that treasury of info! (o:

Just FYI: Chris' email addy is the CamusinRevolt addy according to records at OU available online. That might help a little.

Earlier, I found that he was/is a member of the campus anti-war group - he was listed as a contact for a "die-in" back in 2003.

I'll be back soon to help...

Christopher Thomas Boyce

Any relation to the guy who tried to sell satellite plans to the Soviets? As portrayed by Sean Penn in the Falcon and the Snowman?

[Rte66]

I couldn't make heads nor tails of the chris boyce posts, so looked up eldridge and all I found was a classified ad in the OU market. He was selling a used electric guitar amplifier in May of last year for $500. Called himself "aither" as well as his email addy, but ID'ed himself as James Eldridge.

I also found him in google with his Boy Scout Troop back in 1997, some badge-earning activities at Cameron U in Lawton. His father talked about his long involvement with that specific troop in OKC, at the Presbyterian Church where I went to many events. But his family is Episcopalian.

Hi there. I found Boyce's selected quote from Camus at the end more interesting. (o: I saw that earlier today... He must use that quote in his signature or something.
