(Radio Iowa) – A former student at Clarke University in Dubuque is pleading guilty to a terrorism charge after making threats against the school this summer. On August 8th, Clarke University’s Dubuque campus was locked down for about four hours until 24-year-old Rashaud Colbert was arrested in a Chicago suburb. Authorities say he went on social media and threatened to shoot Clarke University’s president and attack campus buildings. A Clarke University profile posted online indicates Colbert majored in business administration and sports management and was preparing to graduate in the spring of 2021.

K-C-R-G is reporting Colbert is pleading guilty to a terrorism charge and will be sentenced December 5th. Court documents indicate prosecutors are recommending a deferred judgement of two to five years of probation.

Clarke University is a private Catholic college with an enrollment of about 12-hundred students.
