DURHAM, N.H. -- A University of New Hampshire professor has been banned from campus after being arrested on charges he threatened a colleague.

John Collins, 53, is charged with disorderly conduct and stalking for comments he allegedly made against a colleague, said Deputy UNH Police chief Paul Dean.

Collins is chairman of the Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Department. He surrendered to campus police on Friday.

A judge also granted Interim Associate Dean of Research Stacia Sower a restraining order against Collins. Sower says colleagues told her Collins ranted and raved against her, threatened to kill her and kicked a garbage can, apparently over a parking ticket he received. She said she was not responsible for the ticket.
