Man arrested for marijuana scissor incident

University Police took a man into custody last Friday on suspicion of previously threatening a student with scissors, University Police Lt. Richard Goodwin said.

On Sept. 10, Goodwin said that, while approaching a student, the suspect allegedly “pulled out marijuana, asked if he had something to smoke in it, then threatened to kill him and stick him with scissors.”

The suspect was arrested after a Community Service Officer called police, after recognizing the description of the man given by the victim, Goodwin said. Goodwin confirmed that charges regarding the marijuana and threats will go forward with the District Attorney.

The suspect in custody is said to be a transient, and he was seen on campus multiple times, Goodwin said.
