A rapper in Cleveland, Ohio was indicted last week after leaving what authorities allege were threatening CD's on car windshields in a local high school's parking lot in January.
Kevin Beebe, 19, of Jefferson, left CD's with just an email address on car windshields. Authorities allege the lyrics on the CD's contained violent language, references to the Columbine school shootings, references to suicide and aggressive lyrics aimed at students, local police and the principle.
Alarmed by the lyrics, schools in the surrounding areas were put on alert for three days as authorities attempted to apprehend Beebe.
When Beebe learned authorities were attempting to find him, he turned himself in and was charged with two felony counts of inducing panic and two misdemeanor offenses of menacing.
Beebe's attorney maintained that the rapper was simply promoting his music and wasn't out to harm anyone. Furthermore, Kurchasrski said that Beebe was protected by the First Amendment which ensures his freedom of speech and that he didn't cause panic.
Prosecutors maintain that the references to the grizzly Columbine shootings were the cause of the panic.
