In custody: Christopher Louis Bolanos-Garza, 18, was arrested Tuesday and charged with making a terroristic threat against the Texas A&M campus

A college freshman was arrested Tuesday for making a terroristic threat after he allegedly posted a warning on social media to stay away from the Texas A&M campus.

Christopher Luis Bolanos-Garza, of Humble, Texas, was taken into police custody at around 7pm Tuesday on a single felony count.

Bolanos-Garza's arrest stemmed from a message the 18 year old is believed to have posted on the anonymous messaging app Yik Yak earlier that day.

The post read: 'THIS IS NOT A JOKE! DON'T GO TO CAMPUS BETWEEN 7 AND 730 THIS WILL BE MY ONLY WARNING.'

According to the University Police Department, it began getting calls about the online threat just after 3.30pm.

An emergency subpoena was issued to Yik Yak, prompting the messaging service to divulge a cell phone number associated with the user who sent out the alarming post.

Police tracked down Bolanos-Garza at the John R. Blocker Building on the Texas A&M campus shortly before 7pm.

Following a 15-minute interview, the freshman was arrested on a third-degree felony making terroristic threats charge, which carries up to ten years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000.
