A student at the State University of New York at Oswego was charged with felony grand larceny and misdemeanor petit larceny Thursday morning for stealing and using a classmates' debit card. Kiley Barnaba, 18, of Liverpool allegedly stole an Oswego identification card, which acts as a debit card on campus.

The Oswego freshman used the card to make several purchases at the University.

"We do know that what she purchased with the debit card was textbooks and food," Director of Public Affairs Julie Harrison Blissert said.

It is unknown how or why Barnaba stole the card, Blissert said.

Judicial and Disciplinary Action

If the University does take disciplinary action against Barnaba, it will not be released to the public, Blissert said.

"If somebody on campus needs to go through the disciplinary system, then somebody on campus needs to file a complaint or a charge within the system and that can be done either by the victim or by the police," she said. "I don't know if they've done that, but everything that happens in that system is confidential."

Barnaba is expected to appear in Oswego town court on November 1st.
