Around noon, security received a call about a student threatening a male in a silver mustang outside the Student Services building. The man in the mustang stated that he pulled out an aluminum bat only in self-defense after the other student made rude gestures, such as flipping him off and making movements as if to punch his window. Security was notified that the two have had problems in the past.
