LAWRENCE — Douglas County District Court documents obtained recently regarding Joe Krause’s diversion agreement, the former Kansas football player acknowledged a stipulation of facts surrounding events that led to his arrest last year.

Krause admitted in the stipulation he told a detective with KU’s public safety office in July 2023 that he sent threatening messages through an anonymous message system KU Athletics uses. That system, RealResponse, received a threat on July 24 of that year that said, “There is a bomb at the football facilities.”

That message led to an evacuation, but later an all clear order was given and Krause — arrested and charged with one count of alleged aggravated criminal threat — said he told the detective there was no bomb at the Anderson Family Football Complex.

Krause also admitted in the stipulation he had been displeased with “Mass Street Strategies,” which is a reference to a collective that works with KU athletes. Messages from the anonymous account that sent the threat had sent messages in the past that mentioned multiple employees of the collective. Krause said he “had been sending them texts” for the previous six to eight months.

“I stipulate that on or about the 24th day of July, 2023, in Douglas County, Kansas,” Krause continues to state in the stipulation, “I did unlawfully, feloniously, and with the intent to place another in fear, or to cause the evacuation, lock down or disruption in regular, ongoing activities of any building, communicate a threat to commit violence, and a public, commercial, or industrial building, place of assembly, or facility of transportation, to-wit: KU football facilities, was evacuated, locked down, or disrupted as to regular, ongoing activities as a result of the threat, a severity level 5 person felony, in violation of K.S.A. 21-5415(b) & (c)(2).”

The complaint document that outlined the aggravated criminal threat charge Krause originally faced outlined a penalty range of at least 31 months to at most 136 months in prison, “and/or” a fine of at most $300,000 and 24 months of post-release supervision. That was pursuant to “K.S.A. 21-6804, 21-6807, 21-6611(a)(2), & 22-3717(d)(1)(B), and amendments thereto.” But the diversion agreement, which last two years, outlines new details as Krause moves forward.

Here’s what Joe Krause agreed to in the diversion agreement

In the diversion agreement, Krause agreed to pay $193 in court costs. He agreed to complete a minimum of 100 hours of community service. He agreed to continue to use services through “Behavioral Health Associates, LLC.”

Those aren’t the only agreements Krause made, of course. There is a reference to special conditions, such as abstaining from using alcohol and recreational drugs during the period of time the agreement covers, and more. Holistically, if Krause violates the agreement he acknowledged it will be revoked and the matter will go to trial.

Here’s what the state agreed to in the diversion agreement

The state agreed to suspend prosecution of the case as long as the details in the diversion agreement are fulfilled. There’s also a commitment to “dismiss with prejudice and with costs assessed to the Defendant” the charges of the case when the term of the diversion agreement ends, if that occurs.

Here’s what happened to Joe Krause’s affiliation with KU, and Kansas football, following his arrest

According to a KU Athletics spokesperson last year, not many days after the arrest, Krause was both no longer a member of the Kansas football team and no longer a student at the university. Krause had appeared in two games in 2020. However, he had not appeared in any during the two years that followed.
