On September 9, 2022, after one hour of deliberation, a jury convicted defendant David
Alexander Wolpert of making criminal threats in violation of Penal Code sections 422. The jury

Park after becoming angry that his Facebook account was suspended. At the Campus, the
Defendant contacted the victim – a Facebook security guard. After confirming that the victim
was Facebook security, the Defendant told the victim, “Well you need to tell all security that
they need to get their (expletive) together. This is the second time I’m here. If I come a third
time, I’m killing all of you. Please report it.” The Defendant said he was not joking and pulled
out a pocketknife. The Defendant then said, “If I have to come a third time, you’re all gonna die.
I’ll give you guys a month to get it together.”

sentencing date was set for October 7, 2022.
