TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – Monday afternoon, The University of Alabama announced the arrest of a student who allegedly made a terrorist threat last week.

Daniel Evan Simmons, a 19-year-old University of Alabama student, has been arrested by University of Alabama Police and charged with making a terrorist threat. Simmons’ Facebook account lists him as having graduated from Vestavia Hills High School in 2013.

The university said the arrest is the result of further investigation into the additional alarming messages that were sent early on Tuesday, Sept. 23.

This message is not believed to be directly connected with the initial intimidating post that was sent on Sunday, Sept. 21, evening. Residents of Tutwiler Hall were not allowed to enter or exit the building for about 45 minutes while authorities searched the building that day.

Simmons has been placed in the Tuscaloosa County Jail on a $5,000 bond and has been issued an interim suspension by the university.

Dakota John Timm was arrested and charged with harassing communication after a second alarming message was sent online, also unrelated to the original threat.

UAPD continues to investigate the original post.
