Professor Charged With Threatening to Kill Dean

Craig Boardman, an associate professor at the John Glenn College of Public Affairs at Ohio State University, is facing charges of aggravated menacing for allegedly telling a human resources officer that he had a gun and planned to kill his dean and then himself, TV 10 News reported. Authorities report that when they went to Boardman's house after hearing about what he had said, Boardman wasn't there. He was arrested a short time later, after he was in a car crash, on charges of operating a vehicle while intoxicated. Boardman did not respond to calls but his lawyer told the television station that Boardman never had a gun.
