AUBURN — Four former Bates College students came back to the Twin Cities on Wednesday, but not for a school reunion.

Each of the four men appeared in Androscoggin County Superior Court to report on his respective progress toward fulfilling a judge’s order for each of them to perform 200 hours of community service within two years of their November sentencings.

The four men were charged with criminal conduct in a May 2010 melee at the Lewiston campus that involved hundreds of students. They pleaded guilty to related charges in November on the day they were scheduled to go to trial.

Seven other students who faced criminal charges stemming from the same incident had pleaded guilty earlier to related charges.

One of the former students, Mark Stehlik, 24, of Marlborough, N.H., who appeared in court Wednesday, told Justice MaryGay Kennedy that he had completed his required 200 hours of volunteer work at Camp Glen Brook in his hometown. He showed Kennedy a letter that outlined the manner of work he performed, including improving the nonprofit group’s website by adding photos; clearing hiking trails; editing and publishing maps for trail intersections; painting a barn’s cupola and splitting firewood for a sugar house.

“Well, sir, it sounds like you did an outstanding job,” Kennedy said.

Stehlik had pleaded guilty in November to a misdemeanor charge of failure to disperse. That charge will be dismissed if Stehlik continues to stay out of trouble, Kennedy said.

Samuel Willard Guilford, 25, of Surry and Portland told Kennedy he had performed 106 of the 200 hours he was ordered to volunteer. He is working at the same camp as Stehlik, Guilford’s attorney, Leonard Sharon, said.

Guilford had pleaded guilty in November to assault on an officer, a felony. A Lewiston police officer sustained a broken leg during the incident while detaining Guilford. His and the prosecutor’s accounts of the incident differed.

If Guilford doesn’t run afoul of the law and completes his community service, Kennedy is expected to let him withdraw his plea, and plead no contest to a misdemeanor charge of disorderly conduct.

Guilford pleaded guilty in November to charges of refusing to submit to arrest and failure to disperse, both misdemeanors. He agreed to spend 14 days in jail on each charge, to be served at the same time.

Kush Mahan, 24, who now lives in New York City, said he had only completed about 20 hours of his community service working with disadvantaged youths at a nonprofit educational program in Harlem.

His attorney, William Cote, explained that Mahan had been busy competing on a professional squash circuit. Mahan had been Bates College’s No. 1-ranked squash player.

“That’s very nice,” Kennedy said, “but 20 hours is not a lot of hours when you have to have at least 100” completed by November.

Mahan pleaded guilty in November to a charge of disorderly conduct, which should be dismissed if he complies with the terms of his agreement. The plea of Mahan, a Kenyan national, was crafted so that he wouldn’t be deported.

The fourth of the former Bates students to appear Wednesday, Francis Suozzo, 23, of Golden Bridge, N.Y., also had completed only 20 hours of community service.

“You have a long way to go,” Kennedy said.

Suozzo is teaching English as a second language in Westchester County in New York.

He pleaded guilty in November to a charge of failure to disperse, which, as with Stehlik and Mahan, is expected to be dismissed once he has complied with the terms of his plea agreement.

All of the men except Stehlik must complete 100 of the 200 hours of community service by November, and the remaining 100 hours by October 2013, to satisfy the terms of their plea agreements.

The late-night gathering at Bates College two years ago blocked the pathway of an ambulance responding to a call to treat a student with alcohol poisoning. Lewiston police were called to assist campus security. Officers tried to disperse the crowd over speakers on their cruisers. They then entered the crowd to disperse the students that way.
