University of Idaho murders suspect Bryan Kohberger was allegedly kicked out of a law enforcement vocational program in high school due to complaints from female classmates, a school official claimed.

Former administrator Tanya Carmella-Beersrevealed Kohberger was briefly on the protective services track at a vocational school near his parents’ Monroe County, Pennsylvania, home.

“He was a leader in his class, he took the class extremely seriously,” Carmella-Beers told “The Idaho Massacre” podcast.

A photograph from Kohberger’s high school yearbook shows the then-sophomore dutifully completing a fitness set as part of the pre-professional course.

But Kohberger, now 28, was forced to leave the program in his junior year following a series of complaints from female classmates, Carmella-Beers alleged.

“To be removed from a program, it has to be pretty severe,” Carmella-Beers said of the incident, though she declined to elaborate on the exact nature of the reports.

“What had him removed from the program, when I look back on it now, makes sense [with what happened later],” she recalled, referring to the bombshell allegations that Kohberger knifed four college students to death last fall.

Kohberger transitioned to the HVAC program, but ultimately decided not to return to the vocational school for his senior year, Carmella-Beers stated.

He finished his high school degree online in 2013, the Idaho Statesman reported earlier this year.

Kohberger is awaiting trial on multiple counts of first-degree murder and one count of felony burglary related to the Nov. 13, 2022, stabbing deaths of University of Idaho students Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Madison Mogen, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20, and Ethan Chapin, 20.

At the time of the killings, Kohberger was a doctoral student in criminology at Washington State University in Pullman, just 15 minutes away from the off-campus murder scene.

Around the time he was dismissed from the law enforcement program, Kohberger lost a significant amount of weight and morphed into a more dominant, bullyish personality, some hometown acquaintances told “The Idaho Massacre” team.

The schoolyard outcast also allegedly developed a heroin addiction, and went to rehab at least once.

In the wake of his arrest, former classmates remembered that Kohberger was smart but slightly odd –particularly around girls.

“If he liked or was interested in a girl and she wasn’t, he didn’t understand why or just didn’t accept her saying no and move on and so he would have been labeled as a creep or something along those lines,” Dominique Clark told The Post in late December.

Just a few months before the Idaho murders, Kohberger also allegedly broke into a female colleague’s home, “Dateline” said.

Kohberger’s trial is set for Oct. 2. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges.
