"Over the course of a week, Craig Carter, 47, threatened the victim, who he was reportedly seeing for the past 2½ years, with a box cutter, choked and stalked her, and tried to drag her out of a classroom before she fled from his grasp, according to court records. The victim told investigators that he said, “I’ll hurt you,” and “I’ll cut that pretty face” as he choked her in his office, the records state."

Carter waived his Miranda rights and admitted to his actions per the report. He faces three domestic violence charges for “aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, threats and intimidation with injury and damage to property, and stalking with fear of physical injury or death upon another.”

The University has placed him on administrative leave.
