BU Police Arrest Chelsea Man Over Alleged Threats to Students and Deans

A Brighton court arraignment will test the case built on posts that prosecutors say referenced a mass shooting.

Overview

  • Maximillien Sajous, 29, of Chelsea, is scheduled to be arraigned Friday in the Brighton division of Boston Municipal Court.
  • Boston University police arrested him on allegations he threatened and harassed BU students, deans, and the campus, according to the Suffolk County district attorney’s office.
  • Prosecutors say he posted images of shell casings, shooting-range targets, and a BU dean’s home, and he made references to a mass-shooting threat.
  • Brighton court records show at least four warrants were issued from April 27 to May 6 for threatening to commit a crime, stalking, and a bomb or hijack threat.
  • A LinkedIn page lists him as a BU law student and former Law Review editor, but officials have not confirmed any school tie or said whether he has a lawyer.
