A freshman was allegedly threatened last week by a suspect with a knife in his room and later received a voicemail on his cell phone from the same suspect threatening his life, according to reports filed with the Department of Public Safety and the Metropolitan Police Department.

According to the DPS report, the suspect entered the complainant’s room in Harbin Hall at 3:29 a.m. on Feb. 8 and threatened him with a knife. The report also says that at the same time, the complainant, whose name is being withheld due to the ongoing police investigation, received an unsolicited voicemail containing threats on his life. DPS Sergeant Joseph Smith said that the suspect physically confronted the complainant in his room before leaving the voicemail.

The MPD report classified the incident as felony threat and assault with a dangerous weapon. According to the report, the suspect threatened to kill the complainant in a voicemail.

According to the report, “[The suspect] stated in the message that she owns a switchblade, and if [the complainant] ever went near her friend again that she would come to [the complainant’s] room, slit his throat and watch him bleed to death.”

The MPD report noted that the perpetrator was suspected of being under the influence of alcohol at the time of the incidents. The suspect is described as an 18-year-old white female with a light complexion, approximately 5 feet, 8 inches tall and 125 pounds with brown hair.

The MPD report only describes the voicemail left on the complainant’s phone and makes no mention of a physical confrontation and says that no weapons were used in the alleged incident. However, it categorizes the event as an assault with a dangerous weapon (knife) and felony threats.

DPS has not sent out a Public Safety Announcement about the assault or the threat. Smith said the incident was isolated and does not pose a threat to campus safety.

University spokesperson Julie Bataille said in an e-mail that university officials were taking action with the involved parties.

“I’m aware that the incident has been handled appropriately through the Student Code of Conduct process, which is confidential by nature. I know that staff in the Office[s] of Student Affairs and Residence Life have followed up with individuals involved to provide support as necessary,” she said.

The complainant declined to comment for this report, and MPD officials could not be reached for comment.
