October 12, 2006
ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) -- University of Michigan police have arrested a 23-year-old man they say stalked and sent threatening e-mails to football coach Lloyd Carr.
Tobi Akinmusuru, of Ann Arbor, was arrested Tuesday, the same day Carr and other coaching staff members received threatening, harassing and obscene e-mail, campus police said.
Akinmusuru was arraigned Thursday on charges of using a computer in a crime, malicious use of telecommunications and malicious annoyance by writing, campus police spokeswoman Diane Brown said. He faces up to one year in jail if convicted.
Akinmusuru's bail was set at $10,000, and he was scheduled for a preliminary hearing Friday in 15th District Court, Brown said. He remained in the Washtenaw County jail Thursday afternoon, and it was unknown if he had a lawyer.
Akinmusuru is not a student or former student at the school, Brown said.
Officers first had contact with Akinmusuru on Monday when he was seen looking into car windows at the athletic department's Schembechler Hall, Brown said.
Police also learned that Akinmusuru was standing outside the Michigan Union on Tuesday with an aluminum baseball bat and making threats that referred to Carr and others in the football program, Brown said.
