flores robert1JAMESTOWN (AP, CSi) – Jamestown’s police chief says authorities plan terrorizing charges against a student who allegedly made threats that led to a brief lockdown of the University of Jamestown campus last week.

Chief Scott Edinger says the student is being evaluated at the state mental hospital. No charges will be filed until that is complete.

 The 18-year-old student from California allegedly threatened to kill three students and drink their blood as part of a satanic ritual. The alleged threats last Thursday led to a half-hour lockdown of the campus while authorities searched for the student.

The student’s father tells The Jamestown Sun that his son was just joking around, and that his son has been expelled over the misunderstanding.

While in Jamestown, Ronald Flores has been in contact with Jamestown police and UJ officials.

The school won’t confirm that because of privacy rules.

The Flores’ are from Thousand Oaks, Calif., an outer suburb of Los Angeles.

Ronald Flores said Tuesday, “We just kid around. It’s like a punk thing. It’s like a goth thing. It’s just a thing in Los Angeles.”
