For the third time this week, a college student has been arrested for allegedly posing a threat to campus.
Campbell University on Thursday said in a statement to a local television station that the county sheriff's office had arrested one of its students for "communicating threats to the university," WRAL.com reported. "This behavior was taken seriously, and the person who allegedly communicated these threats was quickly taken into custody."
Neither the statement nor the television station's article specified the nature of the threats.
Campbell is the second North Carolina university to report threats this week. Officers on Tuesday arrested a 19-year-old student at High Point University after confiscating two firearms and ammunition, which the student allegedly planned to use in to commit violence on the campus, a local television station reported.
And officials at the College of Southern Nevada announced late Wednesday that officers had arrested a student there after they discovered a rifle and 2,000 rounds of ammunition in the trunk of his car. College officials said the student had stated "that he had forgotten that he had the weapon in his vehicle."
