ATHENS, WV (LOOTPRESS) – A former Concord University employee charged with making terroristic threats after saying he would sneak on campus with his AK-47.
Officials with Concord University told police that a former employee, Parl Forrest, had told two employees that he could not wait to get his keys and sneak onto campus with an AK-47. The Director of Custodial Services advised that she terminated him after hearing what he allegedly said.
One employee told Forrest he shouldn’t say stuff like that. The employee also said that Forrest had bragged the day before about looking up how to build a pipe bomb.
The second employee told police that Forrest told them he couldn’t wait to be issued his keys to the building so he could sneak into the dorms after 1:00 am with an AR-15. The second employee also alleges that Forrest bolstered about the FBI coming to his home and questioning him about searching for how to build a pipe bomb, but that employee didn’t believe him.
According to the Director of Custodial Services, Forrest was a new hire, was still in training, and had yet to be issued keys. Once his training was finished, he would have been given a set of keys to the entire University.
Forrest is charged with terroristic threats. He is being held in Southern Regional Jail under a 100,000 dollar cash-only bond.
