JONESBORO, AR – University Hall and the International Student Center on the campus of Arkansas State University were evacuated Tuesday afternoon due to a bomb threat.

Carlon Walker, 44, of Jonesboro was arrested by University Police for allegedly making the bomb threat to University Hall. ASU says Walker is not a student.

University Hall, a women’s dorm for nearly 400 students, was evacuated at 3:05pm. Because of its proximity, the International Student Center was also evacuated.

The police, with the assistance of a bomb detecting dog, searched University Hall. At 5:37pm students were cleared to come back into the dorm. No evidence of a bomb was found during the search.

Walker is charged with breaking or entering, attempted theft of a motor vehicle, communicating a false alarm, and criminal trespass.

You shouldn't judge people until you know the whole truth. Carlan is a nice person he is handicapped. And for what had happened is he has had a infection with his teeth for over two months and has such an infection we think the infection has went to his brain. That is why he was talking out of his head. He is the type of person that would give you anything he has. ASU is wrong for sending him to jail they should have gotten him some medical help. Carlan had another denist appointment that Tuesday the day he went to ASU. ASU has said they want to set an example of him. I guess they need to set it with a handicapped person that needs medical treatment. And as your comment about how he looks HOW WOULD YOU LOOK IF YOU HAD A TOOTH INFECTION FOR TWO MONTHS IT HURT SO BAD YOU COULDN'T TAKE THE PAIN!!!!!!! I am sure you wouldn't look pretty.

Looks like another methbilly to me. Could be wrong, and don't have the kind of dough guzzler has to bet with, but I'd bet on it if I did have the dough. Act's like a tweeker too. What was he thinking! And guzzler is probably right about the family tree.
