Intoxicated student threatens shooting outside Pearce Hall
Central Michigan University Police concluded their investigation of a student who made threatening comments outside of a class in Pearce Hall Wednesday afternoon.
The student, who was intoxicated, allegedly disagreed with conversation in the classroom and mumbled about a possible shooting as he walked out of class in Pearce Hall around 3:15 p.m.. The student was apprehended by CMUPD officers around 4:05 p.m.
He was not armed and not determined a threat to the campus community.
The investigation has been sent to the Isabella County Prosecuting Attorney and the CMU's Office of Student Conduct, Central Michigan University Police Chief Bill Yeagley said.
He did not have a weapon when police took him into custody. No one reported seeing a weapon, and a search of his home revealed no weapons, Yeagley said. The investigation found no other evidence of threats or past violence.
The student was released and told he cannot attend classes or come on campus until the Office of Student Conduct determines appropriate next steps. He stands to be arrested for trespassing if he does return to campus.
