KPD releases info on concern at Moberly Area Community College

(Kirksville, MO) - The Kirksville Police Department is releasing information regarding a concern at Moberly Area Community College’s Kirksville campus.

On May 16, 2025, at approximately 12:00 pm, an unknown male who sounded intoxicated called MACC. The unknown male became belligerent and made threats against law enforcement during this call. The phone number used was traced back to a small town in Michigan.

A Grand Traverse County Deputy in Michigan conducted a follow-up and was unable to locate any owner of that number or any related reports in the area associated with that number.

It appears this was a spoofed phone number generated through one of several methods. At no time did the caller make a threat against any Kirksville schools.

The Kirksville Police Department increased patrols of the area and will continue to monitor.

Anyone with information about this incident, or any suspicious activity, is encouraged to contact the Kirksville Police Department at 660.785.6945, Central Dispatch at 660.665.5621, Adair County Sheriff’s Office at 660.665.4600, anonymously at 660.627.BUST (2878), or email police@kirksville.gov.
