Student Threatens to Kill University Employee

Bret Harris was listed on the Washington County detention website Wednesday.

UAPD arrested a university student Tuesday after he used his Twitter account to threaten to kill a UA employee, police said.

Bret J. Harris, 23, of 2720 Pennington St., Irving, Texas, was arrested at 9:36 p.m., Oct. 2, on the felony charges of terroristic threatening.

Police reported that Harris threatened the victim with “substantial injury/death.”

“I am going to kill you,” Harris tweeted, according to the police report that suggested a dispute took place between him and the man he threatened after disciplinary action.

Harris was listed on the 2010-2011 Razorback football roster as a redshirt senior linebacker.

As of late Wednesday, Harris was held in Washington County Jail on a $20,000 bond.

Harris is scheduled to appear Nov. 2 in the Washington County Circuit Court, according to the Washington County detainee intake report.
