Police said Martha Ruiz, 23, emailed an administrator that a 'threat was coming" to Camden County College on Wednesday morning. She was arrested later in the day.
GLOUCESTER TOWNSHIP -- A 23-year-old Camden woman was arrested Wednesday after police said she sent an email threat to a Camden County College administrator.
According to a media release, Martha Ruiz, of Cramer Avenue, used a public computer in the college's Cyber Cafe to send an email to the vice dean stating "THERE IS A THREAT COMING TO THIS CAMPUS TOMORROW AT 130 PM!"

The administrator received the email at about 9 a.m. Wednesday morning. Police quickly identified Ruiz as a suspect and went to her home in Camden, where they determined she sent the email because she was "disgruntled with the college administration."
Police found the threat to be non-credible and charged Ruiz with creating a false public alarm in the 3rd degree. She was released on her own recognizance pending a court appearance.
