Student arrested after alleged threat against community college

HUTCHINSON— A student at Hutchinson Community College was arrested Tuesday after allegedly making a threat against the college.

Police say Cody Turner, 19, New Cambria, Kansas, was taken into custody on suspicion of criminal threat.

HCC Security reported that an unknown individual had posted a threat to commit violence on campus but no specifics were given relating to date or time.

Police worked with HCC Security and the school’s IT department, to develop a potential suspect who was Turner.

Turner was brought to the Law enforcement Center for questioning and arrested.

Police could not be specific about how college security was informed about the threat, only to say that there was no specific target at the school, and that it didn’t appear Turner had the means in his possession to carry out such a threat.
