OSHKOSH, WI (WTAQ) - A preliminary hearing was waived Thursday by a man charged in a number of robberies near the UW-Oshkosh campus.
According to online court records, 19-year-old Jake Sizemore is due to enter a plea on December 5th to four charges, including one of felony robbery.
Authorities say Sizemore was carrying a knife in his pocket when he was arrested October 26 after an attempted robbery near campus. The student who was attacked was able to run away and notify police.
Investigators have also tied Sizemore to the robbery and beating of a UWO student on October 20. According to the criminal complaint, the student was approached by Sizemore, who was riding a bicycle, when he was leaving the Polk Library around 1 a.m.
Sizemore yelled at the student, and then punched him in the face and kicked him with steel-toed boots, according to the complaint. The complaint goes on to say Sizemore took off with the student's backpack containing his laptop, books and wallet.
Police say the two students who were assaulted, as well as a third student who was present during the attempted robbery on October 26, identified Sizemore as the attacker.
Sizemore is also considered him a suspect in the October 21 stabbing of two students during an attempted robbery, the complaint said.
Sizemore is being held in the Winnebago County Jail on $50,000 bond.
