Turns out there really isn’t an Evil Anti-Gay Branding Bigot haunting a bridge at UNC-Chapel Hill like so many Grimm trolls.

Chancellor Holden Thorp sent an email this evening to students that said, in part:

Dear Students, Faculty and Staff:

The Department of Public Safety has determined that the alleged aggravated assault reported to campus last night did not occur. That report, filed with campus police on April 5, was false. The University will not report it as a hate crime.

Hoaxster Quinn Matney may face charges.
