Student, accused of felony, released after posting bond

A CSC student left the Dawes County Jail Tuesday after posting a $1,000 bond following his arrest early Monday morning on several charges, including a terroristic-threats felony, authorities said.

Chadron police arrested Kyle Mousseau, 18, freshman of Rushville, at about 1:45 a.m., Monday after responding to reports of a student allegedly threatening staff and other students in CSC’s Kent Hall dormitory, police stated in a press release.

Mousseau is scheduled to appear in Dawes County Court at 2 p.m. Oct. 28.

After encountering Mousseau on the second floor of Kent Hall, and following an investigation, police arrested Mousseau, accusing him of making “felony terroristic threats,” and of “misdemeanor third-degree assault, disturbing the peace, and MIP (minor in possession),” the release states.

The felony-related allegation stems from things Mousseau said to students and staff, not to police, Chadron Police Chief Tim Lordino said Wednesday.

A spokeswoman from the Dawes County Clerk of Courts office said Wednesday afternoon that formal charges have not yet been filed by Dawes County Attorney Vance Haug.

“This incident was reported immediately to the Chadron Police Department and Chadron State College and its staff cooperated fully,” Lordino stated in the release.

Police also stated in the release that Mousseau appeared “intoxicated and at time was very uncooperative with officers.”
