An early morning Xbox game inside a Penn State dorm turned into a possible crime when a student allegedly pulled a knife and threatened his roommate. It happened in Beaver Hall last week, according to WJAC-TV.

Penn State University Park police say Ryland Smith pulled out a knife and threatened his roommate after the Xbox they were using stopped working. Police said Smith's roommate then started to tease him after the Xbox stopped working while the two were watching something on Netflix, the Johnstown TV station reported.

Police charged Smith with aggravated assault, simple assault and terroristic threats. He was being held in the Centre County Correctional Facility on $200,000 bail.
