Another suspect, identified as Connor Stottlemyre, was arrested later in the day, but has not yet been charged, according to the Northwest Missouri State University Police.
The online threats emerged following the University of Missouri president's Monday resignation for a perceived failure to respond to complaints about institutionalized racism at the school.
