A former NC State football player was arrested this week and charged with misdemeanor stalking and communicating threats to Wolfpack head coach Dave Doeren, according to Wake County records.
The arrest stems from a tweet reportedly sent by Joseph Boletepeli, 22, a member of the 2018 and 2019 NC State football teams, saying, "Imma get him I promise. Dave Doeren and the rest."
The school has not released a statement but confirmed Boletepeli was a member of the football program before transferring to Maryland.
Boletepeli was also charged with resisting arrest, with investigators saying he pulled away from officers who attempted to handcuff him.
