Person suspected of making food delivery robot bomb threat at Oregon State University arrested

CORVALLIS, Ore. (AP) — Oregon State University officials say a person suspected of threatening to place a bomb in a robot that delivers food orders on campus has been arrested. Officials around lunchtime Tuesday sent out what they called an urgent alert on X, formerly known as Twitter, that there was a bomb threat in Starship food delivery robots. The post said people should not open the robots and to avoid all robots until further notice. The university said about an hour later that the robots had been isolated and that technicians were investigating. Officials later said people could resume their activities and that a person had been arrested.
