A former Syracuse football player who was arrested on charges of burglarizing a South Campus apartment last winter pled guilty on Tuesday to burglary. But, if he obeys the terms of a plea agreement, he won’t end up getting anything worse than probation.

Davon Walls, a former defensive tackle, was arrested along with ex-defensive end Markus Pierce-Brewster and charged with burglary and petit larceny. Police accused them of stealing a flat-screen TV, Xbox, two iPods and Xbox games — worth about $950 total — from an apartment Feb. 23 on the 400 block of Winding Ridge Road.

Court documents state Pierce-Brewster stood outside the apartment and acted as a “lookout” while Walls went inside through an unlocked back door at about 1:15 a.m. Department of Public Safety surveillance cameras captured video of the two with stolen items, according to court documents.

Syracuse head coach Scott Shafer kicked them off the team on March 13.

Police also arrested Bradley Valik and Erwing Augustin, who were then Syracuse University sophomores, and charged them with two counts of burglary and two counts of petit larceny for burglarizing an apartment on the 200 and 400 blocks of Winding Ridge Road on Feb. 23.

Valik and Augustin are accused of stealing a flat-screen TV, Playstation, six video games and an amplifier — items worth more than $1,000 — from the apartment on the 200 block of Winding Ridge Road, according to court documents. The documents also state at 1:30 a.m. they took a flat-screen TV, an Xbox and controllers from the apartment on the 400 block of Winding Ridge Road. Those items were worth about $750, according to court documents.

They were also captured on DPS surveillance carrying the stolen property into their apartment, according to court documents.

With the agreement, Walls will later be sentenced to “interim probation” for a year. If he obeys the terms of this interim probation, the burglary charge —  a felony — will be reduced to a misdemeanor. He would then not get anything worse than probation.

Cindi Newtown, the assistant district attorney prosecuting Pierce-Brewster, said his case is still pending.
