Suspected Idaho murderer Bryan Kohberger has allegedly been ranting and singing violent lyrics inside the jail where he is being held, and allegedly tried to expose himself to a female inmate who was in an adjacent cell near to his, according to the inmate.
Valerie Cipollina, 50, described to DailyMail.com how Kohberger taunted the prison guards while she was held at the Monroe County Jail for six hours on a New Year's domestic violence charge.
“You come in here and I'll cut you,” Kohberger yelled at a guard. “I'm going to pee on your face. Do what you want with me, I don't give a s**t.” “I cut them, I'll cut you,” Kohberger is said to have yelled repeatedly.
Cipollina was in a cell at the Monroe County Jail in Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania diagonal from Kohberger's. She could see his upper body clearly through the glass. He was wearing a regular prison jumpsuit and not the “suicide vest” he had on in his mugshot.
She didn't realize who he was until another inmate told her “That's the guy who killed those college students.” Cipollina described him as “tall, skinny and young-looking.” She heard the guard tell him several times to put his pants back on as he repeatedly lifted his shirt. She suspects he was trying to expose himself to her. “I couldn't see his genitals because the glass wall only went down so far,” she said.
Cipollina was arrested shortly after 3:00 a.m. on New Year's Day in Paradise Township, Pennsylvania, after getting in a fight with her boyfriend at a hotel. She was booked into the Monroe County Jail at 6:20 a.m. and released at 12:11 p.m. She is from Garnerville, New York. She said being in jail for nearly six hours over New Year was bad enough, but Kohberger's constant ranting made it worse than it had to be.
“I could see him through the polycarbonate glass window of his jail cell. He was standing up right against it, yelling out violent rap lyrics. At one point he yelled out 'F**k my enemies and foes,” which is a line from Lil Wayne's song Multiple Flows.
Cipollina said the jailer who was stationed outside Kohberger's cell told him to shut up and calm down, to which he replied, “Come on in motherfucker. You come in here – let's talk,” then screamed at the top of his lungs “Come in all of you. You scared of me? You should be scared of me. You're going to do nothing to me because I'm going to cut all of you up,” the alleged rant continued. “Come into this cell and I'll show you I'm a creeper. Come in this cell and I'll cut you up too.”
NewsNation reported that Kohberger had a quiet, blank stare when he was arrested by an FBI SWAT team in cooperation with local police on Friday morning.
Kohberger is charged with killing childhood best friends Kaylee Goncalves and Maddie Mogen, both 21, along with their roommate Xana Kernodle and her boyfriend Ethan Chapin, both 20.
