Biology junior Evelyn Hubbard was arrested after police said she sent emails threatening to blow up Monroe Hall and kill five professors, according to an FBI affidavit.
University Police Captain Roger Pinac filed a criminal complaint after receiving the emails on the morning of Nov. 17.
According to the affidavit, an investigation revealed that Hubbard sent one of the emails from a computer in the University Sports Complex and the other from her cell phone.
Police say Hubbard’s first email, sent at 9 a.m., stated she had a 9×19 Mamba pistol with five bullets in it for five professors in Monroe Hall.
“I ADVISE YOU THAT IF YOU DON’T WANT ANYONE ELSE TO FEEL MY FUCKING RATH YOU BETTER HAVE THAT BUILDING CLEARED BY 9:33AM TODAY! I HAVE NO SYMPATHY FOR ANY ACCIDENTAL CASUALTIES!!!!………..WITH NO HESITATION,” she said in the email.
Hubbard’s second email, sent at 9:27, included her intentions to blow up Monroe Hall.
“YOU ARE REALLY TRYING MY PATIENCE! I AM ON THE VERGE OF BLOWING THAT BITCH UP AND YOU’LL BE RENOVATING FROM THE FOUNDATION,” she said in the email.
According to the affidavit, Hubbard admitted to having a test in Monroe Hall the same morning the messages were sent, and that the emails were intended as “a joke.” Hubbard stated that she had no intentions of injuring or killing anyone, and that she came up from the gun type from an Internet search.
Hubbard created the email account, [email protected], at 8:34 a.m. the morning of the threats, using the name Alexander Pina. According to the affidavit, Hubbard stated that an “unidentifiable friend,” created the name.
The affidavit also states that Hubbard and her friend sent the second email after noticing there was no commotion following the first message.
According to a Department of Justice release by U.S. Attorney Jim Letton, FBI agents arrested Hubbard on Friday, Dec. 9 where she was brought before a U.S. Magistrate judge and released on a $10,000 bond. A preliminary hearing will be held on Dec. 29.
Hubbard faces a maximum of five years in prison and up to a $250,000 fine if found guilty.
