KSU Police said they brought additional charges against a Kennesaw State student who was involuntarily committed for mental evaluation on Wednesday, Aug. 29, for carrying a loaded gun on campus without a license.
Officials originally attained an arrest warrant for the student, Kenneth Alvin Glover, on the charge of carrying an unlicensed firearm on campus after finding a handgun in his backpack.
Police issued a second arrest warrant after Glover uploaded a video of his interaction with a university counselor to social media in which he made threatening comments. The video was provided to police on Tuesday, Sept. 4, according to KSU Police’s website.
“While Glover remains under secure, medical evaluation, the investigation has continued and additional information has led to a second arrest warrant being issued for four additional felony counts: three counts of terroristic threats and one count of aggravated assault,” KSU Police said in a statement posted on their Facebook.
KSU Police stated that Glover will be transferred to police custody immediately after his release from medical evaluations.
Glover’s mother called campus police with concerns about his wellbeing, and the responding officers later found Glover outside of The Commons on the Kennesaw campus. According to WSB-TV, his mother told police he was bipolar and not on his medication, and she requested a welfare check.
“The arrest warrant states Glover rambled to officers about ‘killing people.’ Police also said Glover told them he was Jesus and is known to stack bodies,” according to WSB-TV.
They determined that the student was unstable and “requested the involvement” of a university counselor. The counselor then decided to commit Glover for mental evaluation.
KSU Chief of Police Edward Stephens originally stated in an email to faculty, staff and students on Aug. 30, the day after the incident, that “despite rumors circulated on social media, KSUPD has no evidence that the student made any threats towards specific individuals or the community in general.”
