An AlliedBarton security guard has been arrested and charged with theft and receiving stolen property, according to Deputy Chief of Investigations Mike Morrin of the Penn Police. The incident marks the second time since November that an on-campus AlliedBarton guard has been arrested.
Between the hours of 2 a.m. and 7:30 a.m. on Dec. 14, Randolph Mayzck, 21, allegedly took a student's unattended laptop from the lobby of Steinhardt Hall, where he was on duty, Morrin said.
Penn Police did a consent search of Mayzck's house and recovered the computer and returned it to the student on the evening of Dec. 14.
Mayzck was immediately fired after AlliedBarton learned of his arrest, AlliedBarton spokesman Alan Stein said.
Mayzck was arrested on Jan. 15 based on evidence from video surveillance. The arrest took place a month after the incident because it took a while to get an arrest warrant approved by the district attorney, Morrin said.
Mayzck had no prior criminal record and underwent a background check and drug screening prior to being hired by AlliedBarton, Stein said.
Penn Vice President for Public Safety Maureen Rush condemned the guard's actions.
"We are disappointed that this former AlliedBarton employee chose to exercise poor judgment and compromise the integrity of his position," she said.
Another incident involving an AlliedBarton guard occurred in the middle of November, when a guard was fired after he was arrested for allegedly exposing himself to a student.

I am surprised that an Allied-Barton Guard would steal a computer as their hands are usually full of penis. In the future they should be guided on masturbating prior to work so they do not expose themselves to students or steal their property. (Continued…)

I am not surprised. I have been making Allied aware that my husband has serious behavioral issues. He's been having relationships with various employees and client employees and they don't seem to care. (Continued…)

Allied Barton is full of mess. They didn't try to publish that the guard who allegedly stole the laptop reported the laptop to his supervisor before he took it home. (Continued…)
