Editor’s Note: All of the charges against Kowsari were dropped and he returned to school in 2014.
A student at the centre of a potential hazardous chemical scare at the University of Saskatchewan on Wednesday has been suspended.
Mohamadmahdi Kowsari was arrested by police Wednesday evening after a search of his residence turned up stolen chemicals from the university.
Earlier in the day, emergency crews responded to the Engineering Building after receiving reports of a potentially hazardous concoction at a basement lab.
Investigators undertook a precautionary sweep to check air quality and multiple tests revealed no imminent danger.
The president of the university said she made the move to suspend Kowsari out of safety concerns.
He has also been banned from the campus.
Kowsari has been charged with theft and is scheduled to appear in court on Friday.
Global News has since confirmed that all of the charges against Kowsari were dropped.
