Dakota Blakely was arrested Sunday on an assault charge at the Dell Seaton Medical Centre near the UT campus. While he was being processed, he allegedly threatened to, “shoot all the rich kids at UT.”
Police have been concerned with Blakley's Facebook page, which authorities say is littered with white supremacist messages and pictures of him with guns.
According to court documents, he repeatedly told a nurse he would go to campus with violent intentions. He also threatened the responding officer.
Numerous students say the Facebook pictures tell them he could have very well carried out his threats.
He's being held on a $65,000 bond. Campus police say if he does make bail, he will have to wear a GPS monitor and will not be allowed to be within 200 yards of campus.
