LAWRENCE, Kan. — Joe Krause was arrested Monday for allegedly committing aggravated criminal threat, causing terror, evacuation or disruption, according to the Douglas County (Kansas) Sheriff’s Office.
The office’s booking report lists Krause as being arrested by the University of Kansas Police Department just after 4:30 p.m. Monday, and as of 8:46 a.m. on Tuesday he was still listed as being in custody.
Krause, who is on the roster as a college football player for the Kansas Jayhawks, is listed as a redshirt sophomore offensive lineman from Prairie Village, Kansas. He has not played in any games the past two seasons. He did make two appearances in 2020.
"We are aware of a situation involving one of our student-athletes," Kansas Athletics said in a statement. "We take the safety of our staff, student-athletes and coaches very seriously. We are gathering more information and will have no further comment at this time."

The arrest came the same day the University of Kansas Police Department said in a release it responded to a bomb threat at 3:01 p.m., that was made against KU football facilities. No devices were found after an evacuation of David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium, the Anderson Family Football Complex and Beatty Family Pavilion. An all-clear was later issued at approximately 8:01 p.m. Monday. The University of Kansas Police Department has yet to confirm if Krause is specifically the one who made that threat.
Krause’s arrest comes about a week before Kansas is set to start fall camp. The Jayhawks’ season opens Sept. 1 at home against Missouri State. Krause’s status is unclear at the moment.
