Ann Arbor — Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel expressed concern for the well-being of a former Michigan football player who is the subject of an investigation by the University of Michigan Police Department after he posted a series of menacing tweets that mentioned guns and violent behavior and a potential threat against Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh.
The UM Police department is investigating a Twitter account belonging to former Michigan linebacker Elysee Mbem-Bosse.
Melissa Overton, UM Deputy Police Chief, confirmed to The Detroit News on Tuesday that the department is looking into the threats. She would not identify the Twitter user because that had not yet been independently verified.
