BYU Law Student Wears SWAT Costume to Class—Until Campus Police Intervene

A law student who came to class dressed in full SWAT gear on Thursday said it was only a Halloween costume, but apparently campus police weren’t so sure.

The Brigham Young University law student wore the getup to a criminal procedure class featuring a guest speaker—Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff, the Salt Lake Tribune reports. The student wore an armor belt, and some students said he had also carried a gun on campus, although it may have been a fake, the story says.

“When queried, the student said it was a Halloween costume, but several BYU police officers suddenly raided the classroom and hauled Rambo outside,” the story says. “He re-entered the class a short time later, minus his SWAT gear.”
