LEXINGTON, Ky. — Diontre Lawayne Davis, 24, of Fort Worth,
Texas, was sentenced yesterday, to 46 months in federal prison, by United
States District Judge Danny C. Reeves, for threatening communications.
Davis previously admitted that, from August to October 2016,
he posted death threats to a student at the University of Kentucky (UK), via
Twitter. Law enforcement became aware of
the threats; and in November 2017, Davis came to the UK campus armed with a
concealed handgun. Due to the nature of
the threats, UK evacuated the area until law enforcement confirmed the threat
had been alleviated.
Under federal law, Davis must serve 85 percent of his prison
sentence; and upon his release, he will be under the supervision of the United
States Probation Office for a term of three years.
Robert M. Duncan, Jr., United States Attorney for the
Eastern District of Kentucky; James Robert Brown, Jr., Special Agent in Charge
of the FBI; and Joe Monroe, University of Kentucky Chief of Police, jointly
made the announcement.
The investigation was conducted by the Federal Bureau of
Investigation and the University of Kentucky Police. The United States was represented by
Assistant United States Attorney Cynthia T. Rieker.
