Ann Arbor – Former Michigan linebacker Elysee Mbem-Bosse said in a message posted to his Twitter account on Sunday that he takes “full responsibility” for tweets that threatened Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh.

Mbem-Bosse has been on Twitter for more than a week posting menacing messages, some about guns and violent behavior, and also what has been taken as a potential threat against Harbaugh.

“I take full responsibility for the tweets i (sic) made regarding the safety of Coach Harbaugh which I apologize fully for but being harassed by the university police and being told I’m mentally ill without proper evaluation is against my civil rights,” he wrote Sunday on Twitter.
