Decatur (AP) - A Calhoun Community College professor who claimed that a former student left a death threat on her voicemail has been arrested and charged with making the threats.

Limestone County Sheriff Mike Blakely said Penelope Blankenship, who taught criminal justice and sponsored the college's criminal justice club, was charged with making a terrorist threat. The offense is a Class C felony punishable by two to six years in prison.

College telephone records led to the 43-year-old Decatur woman's arrest Friday.

A female left a voice message that mentioned last week's Virginia Tech shootings and said, "you next." The female also left a voice message for campus security threatening the instructor.

Blankenship told deputies she recognized the caller's voice, but the investigation indicates that Blankenship made the calls through the Calhoun switchboard to security and to her own voice mail. She was released from jail after posting a $5,000 bond.

Is it wrong that the most shocking thing for me, is that she used a phone that could be traced directly back to her? Seriously, who would do something like this and not just use a payphone?
