SAN ANTONIO — Alamo Colleges released a statement Sunday about a man accused of making terroristic threats against San Antonio College (SAC) campus earlier this week.
The statement says the man accused was arrested and has never been a student of SAC or any of their four Alamo Colleges. Such acts hold no place at any of their campuses, the statement says.
Pablo Medellin, 20, was arrested after San Antonio FBI agents alerted the Alamo Colleges District police force of Instagram posts in which he made explicit threats of shooting up the campus, an arrest affidavit states. The post was accompanied with a photo of Medellin with various weapons, including an assault rifle, with SAC campus visible in the background.
Alamo Colleges says they take threats seriously and work with local, state and federal partners to mitigate any threats and hold those accountable who engage in making them.
SAPD was able to find a photo of Medellin using Alamo Colleges District Police files. He was later arrested and charged with a felony of making terroristic threats by SAPD.
Alamo Colleges says public safety and security is everyone's responsibility and will always remain a top priority. They suggest if you see suspicious activity report it to local law enforcement.
Medellin is expected to be released from jail by Sunday morning after posting bail. His bond had been set at $100,000, according to online court records.
Under the conditions of his bond, Medellin will be on house arrest with a no-contact order.
