    The Lehigh University Police Department was notified about a threat on social media directed at members of a Lehigh fraternity by a former brother.

    According to court documents, 52-year-old Evi Brink was charged by LUPD with terroristic threats.

    Brink was taken into custody in South Dakota by the Custer County Sheriff’s Office. He will be extradited to Pennsylvania to face his charges. 

    The threat was posted on Sept. 2 and found by the New Jersey Bridgewater Township Police Department on Sept. 15 through an unrelated investigation. LUPD was notified by the Bridgewater police. 

    LUPD has been in contact with the fraternity regarding the threat. 

    LUPD said to call 610-758-4200 to report suspicious activity. They are working with other law enforcement agencies, including the FBI.
