Ohio University senior Anna Ayers was charged with three counts of “making false alarms,” Campus Reform reported.
Ayers, who is a member of the school’s student senate, told Ohio University Police that she had received multiple menacing messages including a death threat because she was “part of the LGBT community,” according to National Review.
But during the course of their investigation, officers uncovered that Ayers had “placed the messages herself” prior to reporting the threats, the Post of Athens, Ohio, reported.
Ayers told fellow student senators that she received the threats at both her campus office and her residence, according to the student-run New Political.
“I have no interest in hearing from any of you that you are sorry… or that you can’t believe it happened,” she said at the senate meeting, according to the New Political. “Instead, I want each of you to do everything you can make sure it doesn’t happen again.”
Student Senate President Maddie Sloat told the New Political that the senate hopes Ayers “receives the help that she needs.”
The charges are considered a first-degree misdemeanor in Ohio, according to the Post. Ayers faces a maximum penalty of 6 months in jail and a $1,000 fine for each count if convicted.
