U-Wire: Undercover police at work in U. Maryland classrooms

When a government and politics major angrily yelled out “F— this” to his female political philosophy teaching assistant as he threw a blank quiz to the floor, he never expected it would lead police officers to follow him to class the next week.

But that’s exactly what happened. A week after the incident, his professor, Fred Alfrord, sent him an e-mail telling him the zero on the quiz was the least of the trouble he was in. He and the department had reported the incident to University of Maryland Police, which began to investigate the student as a possible threat.
