Paramedics apply first aid to California resident Shawn Jeffrey Connelly after Eugene Police Department officers shot him with two
bean bag rounds during his flee from a bank robbery.
Robbery
continued from page 1
had been traveling eastbound, po
lice said. Both occupants in the
minivan and the woman driving the
truck received minor injuries.
Police said Connelly then jumped
out of the minivan and proceeded to
run on foot. Officers fired two bean
bag rounds, which hit Connelly in
the arm and leg, incapacitating him.
He was arrested and briefly treated
for minor injuries at Sacred Heart
Medical Center along with the un
known female who accompanied
him. She surrendered at the scene
of the crash, and the stolen money
was recovered from Connelly.
Several streets were closed off
during the chase, including West
7th Avenue between Polk and Van
Buren streets, and Tyler Street be
tween West 6th and West 8th av
enues. EPD spokeswoman Kerry
Delf said the streets were closed so
the EPD Major Collision Investiga
tion Team could inspect the scene.
McKee said officers could not
find a weapon, even though Con
nelly claimed to be armed, but
that they were still searching. Mc
Kee said Connelly appears to be
on supervised probation out of
California, but police records have
not yet uncovered the reason for
the probation.
Connelly will be arraigned today
in U.S. District Court, facing federal
charges for the bank robbery and
multiple felony traffic violations for
the chase.

Award
continued from page 1
“The award is based on community
service and nontraditional students
already have so many commitments
outside of college.”
As the ASUO nontraditional student
advocate, one of Sitowski’s biggest re
sponsibilities is heading the child care
subsidy program. The program offers
funds to student parents to assist with
the high costs of child care. For many
single- and two-parent families, the
child care subsidy program is essen
tial. Sitowski, a father of three, knows
from firsthand experience what it
takes to juggle a full course load with a
full household. Sitowski left home at
age 17 and began the life of an adult
with his soon-to-be wife, while at the
same time battling parental and per
sonal conflicts. When he became a fa
ther for the first time at age 18, his life
began to turn around.
“It’s been a long road,” Sitowski
said. “When I had my first child, that’s
when I started to realize it’s not about
me anymore.”
Sitowski said the next phase of his
life will begin in Rio Grande, Texas,
where he will receive training to teach
young students in low income areas
as part of the Teach for America pro
gram. He and his family will move to
Texas this summer, where he will
study for teaching credentials. He
plans to be placed at a school in Au
gust. He is unsure where he will end
up or even what subject he will teach,
but he said he knows there is a great
need for biology and chemistry teach
ers. The 25-year-old said he and his
wife plan to home-school their chil
dren, a method he firmly believes in.
“My wife is the co-earner of this
award. She does the less gratifying
work,” Sitowski said. “Without her, it
wouldn’t be possible.” - ;
The University offers a wide variety
of support services for nontraditional
students. It’s easy for students with
other commitments, such as children,
spouses or full-time jobs, to feel alien
ated on a predominately young cam
pus where only 13 percent of students
are older than 25. Sitowski said stu
dents who feel overwhelmed should
contact the Nontraditional Student
Union, a campus student group based
on the ground floor of the EMU that
can help nontraditional students ac
cess services they may need to make
their transition easier.
