On Tuesday, SDSU Police arrested a former student, Alvin Johnson Fearn, on charges that he threatened a current SDSU faculty member.   The threats were not made in person or on campus but rather via the internet.  Fearn was released from jail this morning – a court order has been issued that requires him to stay away from the faculty member and we are issuing a University Trespassing Order preventing him from being on campus.
