Packaging junior Sydney Gort was arraigned on two counts of making a terrorist threat on Thursday, MSU spokesperson Jason Cody said.
The first count the 23-year-old was charged with stems from a threat made in the MSU School of Packaging on Nov. 24 and the other is a case from April 2015 where a similar threat was made.
Both counts are 20 year felonies under Michigan law. Ingham County District Judge Thomas Boyd set her bond at $250,000 and barred her from entering MSU's campus.
The details of the threat were not released or confirmed by police, but a picture of the written threat was posted on social media Tuesday and Wednesday. The post has since been removed.
The threat, which appeared to be written on the wall of a bathroom stall, read "Tmrw, as ordered, we will be administering the 1st act of terrorism on this campus, in this building as chosen by random striking of every third girl seen. We have no choice in this matter #PrayMSU."
Later on Wednesday MSU police announced after an investigation they had located a suspect and made an arrest.
