SAN ANTONIO — A man who allegedly stalked a Texas A&M San Antonio professor for four months and made threats against the school was arrested Monday.

San Antonio police arrested 32 year-old Juan Soto at 10 a.m. on a stalking charge, according to Bexar County Jail records.

Soto allegedly had been behaving "aggressively and agitatedly" since February. He walked into the office of a professor on Monday and claimed to know where she was parking, despite the fact that she bought a new car and started parking in a more crowded lot on campus to avoid him.

The university believes that Soto has been watching the professor, as he has made "veiled threats" to her in the past and then apologized.

Soto showed up at an executive-level meeting on campus June 16 and distributed literature, later telling the victim that the meeting almost became a "bloodbath." Authorities have not said what kind of literature he was handing out.

In another meeting, Soto also said that he knows "why people blow themselves up into bits and pieces," according to the warrant.

Soto allegedly refers to the university as the 'temple" and identified the professor as "the high priestess," to whom he has sent "stacks of emails" he called a Manifesto.

The university is not commenting on the investigation, but issued a statement on Tuesday, assuring students that the campus is secure and that Soto was taken into custody without incident.
