A student 'upset' by early morning test threatened to kill his professor, cops say

Rafael Decomas isn’t a morning person.

The Florida Atlantic University student was arrested Wednesday after campus police say he threatened to kill his teacher on Twitter for scheduling an exam too early.

According to an arrest report obtained by The Miami Herald, a Tweet from the @Ashelaniqua, Cutie Claus handle posted about 1 a.m. Tuesday, sounded ominous. It read: “Bey I gern f---ing kill dis professor bey this is my confession to a premeditated murder.”

After a brief online investigation, authorities were able track down the account to the 20-year-old Riviera Beach resident, who later admitted he was “upset” that his data structure professor (Carl Weiss) had scheduled a final for 7 a.m. at the Boca Raton university.
