Prosecutors have filed an additional charge against a Rutgers football player already accused of plotting the murder of two people.
Izaia Bullock, 22 was charged Thursday with one count of fourth-degree cyber harassment, Middlesex County Prosecutor Andrew Carey said in a news release.
Coach Chris Ash dismissed Bullock from the Rutgers football team on Tuesday after the junior linebacker was charged with two counts of attempted murder and two counts of conspiracy to commit murder.
The announcement from Carey did not specify the target of the alleged harassment or when it was sent.
But the charges on Tuesday came after a tip from Rutgers that Bullock made threatening comments about his girlfriend's family to a teammate, who reported that conversation to a strength coach.
