Susan Clark Muntean, an associate professor in UNC Asheville’s business department, was charged on April 8 with second-degree trespassing and resisting a public officer, according to a local crime report. Separate arrest-record postings and a later report also describe assault-related charges in Buncombe County later in April.
Court-related details about the April 8 incident described in the original item — including an allegation that Muntean lay on the ground while an officer tried to remove her, and that she had been told in advance not to return to campus — could not be verified from the provided source.
A local Asheville-area crime report said Muntean, 54, who it described as an associate professor at the University of North Carolina Asheville, was out on a $2,000 unsecured bail tied to April 8 charges of second-degree trespassing and resisting a public officer. The same report said she was later arrested again in April on allegations that included assault on a government official and simple assault.
Separately, an arrest-record posting for a person listed as “MUNTEAN, SUSAN CLARK,” age 54, shows charges of assault on a government official/employee and simple assault in Buncombe County.
UNC Asheville’s publicly posted campus trespass policy states that the university can restrict a person’s access to university property and that campus police may issue trespass warnings or notices under North Carolina law, but the policy does not address any specific case.
The provided source material does not substantiate the claim that the incidents followed social media posts calling for President Donald Trump to be removed from office.
