Ohio Student Accused of Threat Won't Face Felony Aug 3rd 2012, 14:56 A Kent State University student accused of posting on Twitter that he would be "shooting up" the Ohio campus is no longer facing a felony charge. Prosecutors say a grand jury refused to indict the student on a felony charge of inducing panic. Instead, William Koberna now faces a lesser charge of telecommunications harassment. The 19-year-old was in court Friday for a preliminary hearing. He was arrested nearly a week ago near Cleveland after the university contacted police about the tweet. Kent State officials say the profanity-laced July 25 tweet included a threat that he would be "shooting up" the school. The university said earlier this week that the student would be on an interim suspension. A judge told him to stay away from the school.
