Wolthausen Hired as Assistant Coach
Purdue head football coach Jeff Brohm announced that Kevin Wolthausen has been hired as an assistant coach working with special teams and the defense.
Wolthausen, who spent the 2012 season as the defensive line coach at Purdue, rejoined the Boilermakers last season as quality control on special teams/defense.
Wolthausen came back to Purdue after spending the previous three seasons (2014-16) at Connecticut. He served as the Huskies’ special teams coordinator and linebackers coach in 2016 following two seasons as the defensive line coach and recruiting coordinator.
At UConn, Wolthausen mentored Julian Campenni to second team All-American Conference honors and Folorunso Fatukasi to honorable mention recognition in 2015. The Huskies appeared in the St. Petersburg Bowl that same season.
Prior to UConn, Wolthausen spent one season (2013) as the special teams coordinator at Florida International.
In his first stint at Purdue, Wolthausen helped guide the Boilermakers to the 2013 Heart of Dallas Bowl. Under Wolthausen’s guide, Kawann Short finished his senior season with 15.5 tackles for loss and seven sacks en route to earning second team All-America honors from the AP. Short was selected by the Carolina Panthers in the second round of the 2014 NFL Draft.
His initial year at Purdue came after Wolthausen joined the Boilermakers from the Las Vegas Locomotives in the United Football League, where he served as the defensive line coach. The Locomotives won UFL titles in 2009 and 2010 and lost in the championship game in 2011.
Prior to spending the 2007 season with the Atlanta Falcons, he spent four seasons at Louisville. Starting with the Cardinals as the linebacker coach, he moved on to defensive line and eventually became co-defensive coordinator in 2006.
In 2005, Wolthausen mentored defensive end Elvis Dumervil to consensus All-America honors. Dumervil, who broke the NCAA record with six sacks against Kentucky, was named the 2005 Big East Player of the Year, while also winning the Bronko Nagurski and Ted Hendricks awards. Dumervil was selected in the fourth round by the Denver Broncos in the 2006 NFL Draft.
Wolthausen began his coaching career in 1980 as student assistant at Cal State Northridge before returning to his alma mater, Humboldt State, as a part-time defensive assistant from 1980 to 1982.
He joined the University of Arizona as a graduate assistant for a pair of seasons (1983-84) before becoming full-time with the Wildcats as the outside linebackers coach in 1985 and defensive line coach in 1986.
In 1987, Wolthausen followed head coach Larry Smith from Tucson to the University of Southern California, where he helped guide the Trojans to three Rose Bowl appearances in six seasons (1987-92).
After spending two winning seasons as the defensive line coach at Oklahoma in 1993 and 1994, Wolthausen moved on to Arizona State, where he worked with same defensive unit. With Wolthausen on staff, the 1996 Sun Devils came up just shy of winning at least a share of the school’s first national title after falling to Ohio State 20-17 in the final seconds of the 1997 Rose Bowl. ASU finished the year ranked fourth nationally with an 11-1 record.
Wolthausen (born Dec. 27, 1957) played linebacker at Humboldt, earning all-league honors in 1979, and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in physical education in 1981. He and his wife, Michel, have a son, Noah, and a daughter, Quinn.
11 and 12-Year-Old Arrested For Threats at Fairview Elementary in Bloomington
Two Fairview Elementary students were arrested by Bloomington Police on Saturday after threats against other students were posted on social media.
According to a press release, the two juveniles are facing charges of intimidation and are being held at Southwest Indiana Regional Youth Village in Knox County. Police also arrested two adults and a 17-year-old male.
On Saturday, a Fairview Elementary School representative called Bloomington police about a photo posted on Instagram. The photo showed the two students, ages 11 and 12, holding what looked like firearms. A video depicted one of the boys making threats toward a female student and her brother, reportedly over a dating relationship.
In the video, police say the boy “appeared angry and agitated, indicating that the weapon, an AK-47-type weapon, was real.”
He reportedly threatened the girl and her brother they were -“going to get lit up.”
Police spoke to both the boys involved in the threats. One provided a statement, the other child’s parents refused to allow the child to speak to police.
Detectives secured a search warrant and determined the weapons were an assault-style BB gun and two pistol-style BB guns.
While at the home in the 100 block of South Park Ridge Road, police removed a 17-year-old male after he reportedly told officers they weren’t going to touch him.
When officers confronted him, they said he began resisting and was arrested and handcuffed.
When placed in a patrol vehicle, he reportedly attempted to kick out a rear window and threatened to kill the officer monitoring him.
The 17-year-old is facing charges of intimidation, resisting law enforcement. He had previously been waived to adult court on an armed robbery and burglary charges in December and was on probation at the time of this arrest.
During this same incident, 33-year-old Laquita Perry-Leverston became upset because her child was being arrested as did 37-year-old Paris Leverston.
Both adults continued to be loud and disruptive with police and were arrested on charges of disorderly conduct and resisting arrest

More Indiana school threats are occurring with some students being arrested.
Two female students were arrested today and a male student was recently arrested in Orange County for threats made to Paoli High School. Threats made to East Washington Community Schools have not been resolved.

The girl was arrested on a felony charge of intimidation around 12:30 a.m. at her home in Shelburn.
She was taken to the Southwest Indiana Regional Youth Village in Vincennes.
Police say the girl made multiple threats through Snapchat.
Sheriff Clark Cottom says officers found no weapons or credible means to carry out the threats, but they handle all threats as if they are real.
“If you threaten our schools, we will hunt you down and arrest you,” he added.
Sheriff Cottom says officers will assist the Dugger Town Marshal with foot patrol at the school today.
The case is among about a dozen school threats in Indiana since the deadly shooting last week at a Florida high school.
Social media threats have also resulted in the arrests of two male students from Carmel High School near Indianapolis and a student at Columbus East High School in southern Indiana.
Evansville police says a 17-year-old boy faces intimidation charges for writing a violence threat on a bathroom stall door last week at Reitz High School.
