Kansas offensive lineman Joe Krause was arrested Monday on charges of an “aggravated criminal threat” that “[caused] terror, evacuation or disruption,” per the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office in Lawrence, Kan.
The arrest came hours after a bomb threat was called into the Jayhawks’ football facilities, drawing a police response that resulted in the safe evacuation of all present.
“We are aware of a situation involving one of our student-athletes,” a Kansas spokesperson said in a statement. “We take the safety of our staff, student-athletes and coaches very seriously. We are gathering more information and will have no further comment at this time.”
