IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) - A 65-year-old woman has been arrested on harassment charges after police say she threatened employees of the University of Iowa’s student newspaper.
The Iowa City Press-Citizen reports (https://icp-c.com/2jnw7Yl ) that Melyssa Jo Kelly called the Adler Journalism and Mass Communication building around 9:30 p.m. Dec. 1 and threatened people at the Daily Iowan in profanity-laced rants. Police say the rants included death threats.
The victims told Kelly to stop calling and harassing them, but police say Kelly left three voicemails making similar threats and harassing statements.
Kelly has been charged with six counts of first-degree harassment, an aggravated misdemeanor.
Her case had not yet appeared in online court records, and no phone number for Kelly could be found Friday.
