UW-Madison Seeks Order To Keep ‘Dangerous’ Alumnus Off Campus (AP)

MADISON, Wis. — University of Wisconsin-Madison officials said that they’re taking the unusual step of seeking a restraining order to keep an alumnus off campus because of safety concerns.

University officials said that Albert Wellstein, 51, represents a danger to students and employees. They said in a court filing that Wellstein’s recent actions show that he is “genuinely dangerous and capable of violence.”

The alleged actions include sending a threatening poem to a female acquaintance and making a death threat to a campus police detective.
