Jury Trial Set In Online Threat Case

(KAIR)--A jury trial is now scheduled for the former Benedictine College student accused of making an online threat against the college. 

Atchison County Attorney Jerry Kuckelman says 18-year-old Colleen Carey appeared Monday in Atchison County District Court, where she entered a not guilty plea to the charge of aggravated criminal threat. 

The Judge then set a jury trial to begin April 5th. 

Carey was arrested in November by Atchison Police after she allegedly posted a threat on the social media site Yik Yak. 

The post, which stated in part “RIP to all Benedictine Students,” led the Atchison-based college to go on lockdown and to increase security on the campus. 

Carey was a student at the Catholic college at the time she made the alleged threat.
