UPDATE:

Kent State University Police have charged Koberna, a sophomore computer science major, with inducing panic, a fifth-degree felony, and aggravated menacing, a first-degree misdemeanor.

Koberna’s charges are the result of a public tweet in which he allegedly threatened violence to the university campus, according to a university press release.

Koberna, a former Kent resident, currently lives in Brunswick, where he was arrested on a warrant at his home late Sunday afternoon. He was taken into custody without incident.

Koberna will be arraigned Monday, and will face university hearings that could result in his suspension or dismissal.

“Any threat to our campus community is taken seriously and immediately investigated,” said Kent State University President Lester Lefton in a university press release. “Our students, employees, and all those who come to campus should know that their safety is our top priority.”
