(KAIR)--A jury trial, scheduled to begin last week in Atchison County District Court for the former Benedictine College student accused of posting a social media threat, has been continued. 

The trial for Colleen Carey had been scheduled to begin Tuesday. 

However, according to the County Attorney's Office, it was rescheduled to begin July 12th at the request of her attorney. 

The original trial date had been set after Carey entered a plea of not guilty to the charge of aggravated criminal threat in January. 

Carey was arrested in November by Atchison Police after she allegedly posted a threat on the social media site Yik Yak. 

The post, which stated in part “RIP to all Benedictine Students,” led the Atchison-based college to go on lock down and to increase security on the campus. 

Carey, 18-years-old at the time she made the post, was expelled from the Catholic college in connection with the alleged threat.
