Kirksville Threat Deemed Spoof Call

The Kirksville Police Department has released information regarding a Friday threat reported to the Moberly Area Community College’s Kirksville campus.

At approximately 12pm, an unknown male, who sounded intoxicated called the MACC Kirksville campus. The unknown male became belligerent and made threats against law enforcement during this call. The phone number used was traced back to a small town in Michigan.

A Grand Traverse County Deputy in Michigan conducted a follow-up and was unable to locate any owner of that number or any related reports in the area associated with that number. Authorities now believe this was a spoofed phone number generated through one of several methods. At no time did the caller make a threat against any Kirksville schools.

Anyone with information about this incident, or any suspicious activity, is encouraged to contact the Kirksville Police Department.
