The arrest came hours after a bomb threat was called into the Kansas football facilities, which drew police to the area and resulted in an evacuation.Â
“We are aware of a situation involving one of our student-athletes,” a Kansas spokesperson said in a statement. “We take the safety of our staff, student-athletes and coaches very seriously. We are gathering more information and will have no further comment at this time.”
Krause is being charged with a "severity level 5 person felony", according to The Kansas City Star.Â
Krause stands accused of “unlawfully, feloniously, and with the intent to place another in fear, or to cause the evacuation, lock down or disruption in regular, ongoing activities of any building, communicate a threat to commit violence.”
During a court proceeding, Krause said he had not yet secured an attorney, and the judge in the case set bond at $10,000.Â
