Six students were referred to the University following a kidnapping incident on Sept. 29 at Avent Ferry Complex, according to the campus police blotter.

One of the students also received a judicial referral for 6 counts of weapons violation. According to the case report, the seized weapons include two pendent knives, one cane sword, and three pairs of brass knuckles.

While the weapons charge has been closed, according to Campus Police Public Relations Manager John Barnwell, the kidnapping case remains under investigation and is under the jurisdiction of the Raleigh Police Department.

“There was an incident involving six students that could be considered kidnapping,” Barnwell said. “That’s a Raleigh Police Department case, so I can’t provide much information because it came off campus. Among the six individuals was a student who had weapons with him and was in violation of University policy.”

Representatives for the Raleigh Police Department were unavailable for comment. Susan Grant, director of University Housing, was also unavailable.
