Unhinged on campus
Really. Sick:
Sheriff’s investigators arrested and charged a Calhoun Community College instructor with making a terrorist threat against herself following the Virginia Tech massacre.
Limestone County Sheriff Mike Blakely said Penelope Blankenship, 43, of Decatur was arrested Friday on the felony charge and released on $5,000 bond.
Calhoun officials said Blankenship, a criminal justice and psychology instructor, has been placed on administrative leave.
She’s accused of leaving threatening voice mail messages against herself. The messages made reference to Monday’s Virginia Tech massacre, saying “you next,” according to a campus police report.
Campus police also received a threatening phone call in connection with the same incident.
The caller was initially identified as a former student of Blankenship’s, but further investigation indicated that the calls came from Blankenship herself, through Calhoun’s switchboard to campus security and to her own voice mail, investigators said.
