NEW ORLEANS (AP) - The FBI arrested a Loyola University student who allegedly sent threatening emails to the campus police department.
Federal prosecutors say one of the emails from 21-year-old Evelyn A. Hubbard threatened to blow up a building where she was scheduled to take a test on the morning she sent it. Another email she allegedly sent on Nov. 17 threatened five unnamed professors and called for the building to be evacuated.
Prosecutors say Hubbard told agents she sent the emails as a joke.
Hubbard was arrested last Friday and freed on $10,000 bond after making her initial court appearance.
A Loyola spokeswoman said privacy rules prevent her from saying whether the school has disciplined Hubbard.
