Former Murray State Student Allowed to Re-Enroll
A Murray State University student who pleaded guilty to wanton endangerment charges in a case involving bomb-making materials in his dorm room has gotten permission to re-enroll in classes. Murray State assistant vice president of student affairs Mike Young says that the university’s judicial board made the decision regarding 18-year-old David Matthew Wilson of Florissant, Mo., last week during a hearing. A judge sentenced Wilson to twelve months in prison, which was diverted, and a conditional discharge for two years. Wilson was charged after campus police found a black powder mixed with ammonium nitrate, a pipe and fuse in Wilson’s dorm room. The student has said he intended to use the materials to remove a tree trunk on a farm near his home.
