Goldsboro man charged in Wayne Community College threat
GOLDSBORO, N.C. (WTVD) -- Wayne Community College - the scene of a fatal shooting Monday - was closed Friday after Goldsboro officials say someone phoned in a bomb threat. A message on the school website said it will remain closed through the weekend.
Goldsboro police charged 31-year-old Kentrell Chadwick with one count of making a false report concerning mass violence on educational property, which is a felony. Chadwick is being held at the Wayne County Detention Center under a $100,000 bond.
A school spokesperson said the school closed "as a preventative action due to an unsubstantiated threat" and said it was not a bomb threat without elaborating.
Police do not believe Friday's incident is connected to Monday's events involving Kenneth Morgan Stancil III.
The incident came after Stancil made a fiery first court appearance Thursday afternoon in Goldsboro.
Superior Court Judge Arnold O. Jones II warned Stancil he faced the possibility of the death penalty for killing 44-year-old Ron Lane on the campus Monday morning. Stancil replied that he was ready for that, punctuating his comment with an expletive. He repeated the expletive and sheriff's deputies rushed Stancil out the courtroom door on the judge's order. Later, a calmer Stancil reappeared before the judge without incident. He asked the judge for a court-appointed lawyer.

Stancil is accused of entering the campus print shop on the third floor of the same building that houses the school library and cafeteria shortly after Lane arrived for work Monday morning and shooting him once with a pistol-grip 12-gauge shotgun.
Stancil - who is a former Wayne Community College work/study student who was dismissed by Lane for repeated absences - has accused Lane during courtroom appearances of making sexual advances towards his younger brother.
According to search warrants in the case made public Friday, there was an eyewitness to the shooting who told investigators how it played out.
The witness said Stancil came into the print shop and started shouting at Lane who repeatedly apologized before he was murdered.
Stancil then left the campus in a BMW registered to his mother and went home. There, he changed clothes and left on a motorcycle after leaving a written and videotaped confession with his mother.
Among the items seized by detectives were a gun, ammunition, a "white-pride flag" and a "KKK box."
Stancil has described himself as a neo-Nazi. The weekend before the shooting, he tattooed a neo-Nazi symbol on his face. In an interview with the Associated Press earlier this week, Stancil's mother said Lane never had any physical contact with the brother and said she thinks her older son has mental issues.
The motorcycle that Stancil left home on was found abandoned along Interstate 95 in Lumberton. He then apparently hitchhiked to Daytona where he fell asleep on the beach. That's where the Volusia County Beach Patrol found him around 1:30 a.m. Tuesday and took him into custody.
Police said they are investigating Lane's murder as a possible hate crime.
