Batman character lands student behind bars

Posted: Updated:

LEXINGTON, KY (WAVE) – A University of Kentucky student was arrested after police said he sent a picture of a batman character to a top school administrator, just days after the shooting at a Colorado movie theater.

The University's Associate Vice President Terry Allen said Joseph Kennedy, 28, sent him a picture of the "Joker" after he didn't follow up with Kennedy concerning a complaint.

Kennedy said the picture has been his email profile image for months and the entire ordeal is simply a misinterpretation.

Kennedy spent about three hours in jail after University police arrested him for terroristic threatening which is a misdemeanor.
