Minnesota State University security officer threatened over COVID face mask
MANKATO MN Aug 31 2021 — A young man allegedly threatened a Minnesota State University security officer who asked him to put on a mask.
Oluwaferanmi Joshua Arowoshola, 19, of Mankato, was charged with felony threats, misdemeanor disorderly conduct and misdemeanor trespassing Tuesday in Blue Earth County District Court.
Arowoshola reportedly refused to put on a mask in a university building Monday afternoon as required by MSU policy. He said he has “superior authority” and refused to leave campus, according to a court complaint.
He lightly touched the security officer’s chest multiple times and allegedly told the officer: “Death is soon going to find you.”
He reportedly then was non-compliant with a Mankato police officer and continued to make claims of superiority.
