Police Reports

A Syracuse University staff member received threatening calls on her cell phone from a man on Monday at about 4:30 p.m., according to a Syracuse Police report.

The woman said it appeared the caller had the wrong phone number when she heard an angry male, later identified as Eric Knaub from Cato, N.Y., yell obscenities to a female and make threats to kill someone on her voicemail, the report stated.

Syracuse Police listened to the message, which revealed a man saying, ‘Fuck you, bitch,’ that he is ‘done’ and that he would ‘kill her crack nut,’ according to the report.

Additionally, the caller said he believes the woman he called ‘gave birth to his daughter’ and asked for her address in a demanding tone, the report stated.

Syracuse Police later called Knaub, after tracking his telephone number, which resulted in contacting a message machine, according to the report.



They will attempt to contact Knaub again, confirm the call was accidental and tell him to cease calling the SU staff member, the report stated.
