A University of Alabama student is in jail after calling in a bomb threat to Tiger Stadium in hopes of halting the LSU-Florida game, police say.

According to a report by WBRZ, freshman Connor Bruce Croll, 19, was arrested in Tuscaloosa by school police Sunday morning.

Investigators were able to trace the source of the call after receiving a bomb threat. Police say Croll confessed to making the bomb threat, saying he wanted to stop the game because "his friend was on the verge of losing a large bet."
