By Keegan Fairfield Senior Staff Writer

Kevin Martin, also known by many as Kornbread or Kingbread, was charged with disorderly conduct outside the Wills Hall area on main campus. A student called Police Services because Martin was making threatening remarks to him, Lt. Larry Magnant said. After interviewing the student, Police Services decided that he would be criminally charged.

They found Martin in front of the Davis Center and gave him a court citation for disorderly conduct. Sophomore Evan Cuttitta said he witnessed the man he knows as Kornbread yelling some profanity at three students outside Chittenden and Buckham Halls before one of the students called the police. “As a tall man with a disheveled beard, screaming the lyrics of some rap song while waving his arms, I understand why someone may feel uncomfortable around him,” he said. Cuttitta said he has met Kornbread at a house downtown and he did not seem strange or harmful, but rather friendly. “Maybe instead of calling campus police in reaction to someone we do not understand, we should just say hello,” he said.
