A UW-Madison junior was charged with disorderly conduct Monday, and ordered both to stay away from Bascom Hall and to have no contact with a UW-Madison assistant dean after allegedly threatening him in the building last month.
The student, Alan Dubrow, was arrested Feb. 21 following an incident at Bascom Hall in which he allegedly verbally threatened Assistant Dean of Students Ervin Cox and made threatening gestures to Assistant Dean of Students Kathleen Cruse.
According to a criminal complaint filed Monday, University of Wisconsin Police officers were called to the facility at approximately 4:45 p.m. following reports of a verbally abusive"" student.
The complaint said Dubrow spoke to Cruse before going to Cox's office, addressing the assistant dean in ""a very loud and angry voice"" while standing in a ""fighting posture"" with ""clenched fists.""
Cruse told police Dubrow's demeanor made her feel uncomfortable and scared.
After exiting Cruse's office, Dubrow began yelling, ""Where's Cox? I want to kick his ass,"" which Cox said he could hear from his office, according to the complaint.
The complaint said Dubrow was having ""issues"" in school and did not follow ""proper procedures"" to drop classes or change grading methods. Cox told police Dubrow had refused to meet the dean about some of the classes.
Cox also told police Dubrow was ""very upset and was very loud"" as he entered Cox's office and said he ""felt very threatened by Dubrow's actions and his physical threats.""
Attorney Michael Herbert said in an interview he entered a not guilty plea Monday on Dubrow's behalf.
Dubrow was granted a signature bond, which Herbert said did not involve monetary exchange, but a ""promise to appear at any required court appearance and to comply with the court conditions.""
Herbert said he expected a pre-trial conference within the next 30 days.
