A Penn State student was arrested Friday, just hours after police say he threatened to kill the student he is charged with assaulting July 15 in a McDonald's bathroom.
Police say Collin Rowe, 24, told them Collin A. Flood, also 24, threatened to kill him at about 1 a.m. Friday in Calder Alley because he went to authorities about the McDonald's incident, according to court documents.
Rowe told police that Flood said to him, "I'm gonna kill you," according to court documents.
Eleven minutes later along the 100 block of West College Avenue, Flood was taken into police custody, according to court documents.
Flood, 913 Old Boalsburg Road, is in the Centre County Correctional Facility in lieu of $50,000 bail and now faces one count each of felony aggravated assault, felony retaliation against a party, terroristic threats and simple assault, according to court documents.
At about 1:30 a.m. July 15, Flood turned around from a bathroom urinal in McDonald's, 442 E. College Ave., and struck Rowe in the face, causing him to black out, according to court documents.
Rowe awoke and realized he was bleeding on the bathroom floor, according to court documents.
He was treated at Mount Nittany Medical Center for multiple facial injuries, including fractures in both of his orbital bones and a broken nose that required surgery, he told police.
Flood and Rowe knew each other before the McDonald's incident, and they did not get along, according to court documents.
Security video footage recorded the night of the McDonald's incident shows Flood exiting the bathroom and approaching his two friends while rolling up his shirtsleeves, according to court documents.
Sometime after Flood exited the bathroom, the video shows Rowe leaving the bathroom with paper towels or toilet paper pressed to his face, according to court documents.
