NORTHFIELD, Minn. (WCAX) – A judge has dismissed two felony charges against U-32 graduate Waylon Kurts.

Authorities accused the St. Olaf College student of planning a mass casualty event, after a cache was found in his dorm containing knives, empty ammunition boxes and other items.

Channel 3′s CBS partners in Minnesota report the judge’s ruling dismissed charges of conspiracy to commit second-degree assault and conspiracy to commit threats of violence against Kurts.

He is still charged with terroristic threats and conspiracy to commit theft.

He pleaded not guilty to both of those remaining charges.
