Bryan Kohberger, a convicted murderer serving multiple life sentences, has reportedly caused a stir over the fruit selection at an Idaho maximum-security prison. Kohberger, who was sentenced for the 2022 murders of four University of Idaho students, allegedly expressed dissatisfaction with the bananas provided at the facility.

The 31-year-old inmate, residing at the Idaho Maximum Security Institution, has been vocal about his disappointment with the type of bananas served, according to Chris McDonough, a former homicide detective now working with the Cold Case Foundation.

“He’s been complaining about the bananas, saying they’re not to his liking,” McDonough shared with the Daily Mail. “Whether it’s because they have bruises or they’re not his preferred variety isn’t clear, but he has issues with the fruit he’s receiving.”

The Idaho Department of Corrections did not immediately respond to requests from Fox News Digital to clarify the type of bananas provided or any specific requests made by Kohberger regarding their condition or variety.

Kohberger was sentenced on July 23, 2025, at the Ada County Courthouse in Boise, Idaho, for the brutal stabbing deaths of the four students. The courtroom proceedings were widely covered, with images captured by AP Photo’s Kyle Green during the sentencing.

“You can’t make this stuff up, right?” McDonough said. “The guy is a quadruple killer, and he’s complaining about his bananas not being the type that he likes.”

Kohberger, who has been nicknamed a “jailhouse Karen,” filed numerous complaints about his living conditions months after arriving at the prison.

According to media reports, Kohberger complained about being threatened and harassed by fellow inmates, filed a complaint about not getting all of his food at meal time and asked to be relocated to another wing of the prison.

“The prison is saying, ‘Well, deal with it,’” McDonough said.

Cameron Lindsay, a prison consultant, previously told Fox News Digital the former criminology Ph.D. student didn’t have “a lick of sense,” making his time behind bars more difficult with every gripe.

“If he had a lick of sense, he’d keep his mouth shut, his head down, and maybe, over time, his welcoming committee will lessen their verbal tirades against him,” Lindsay said.

McDonough told the outlet the killer’s narcissistic tendencies will likely prompt him to keep “pushing the envelope and pushing the boundaries as far as he can get them.”

“It’s about power and control,” McDonough said. “He was a nobody until he murdered four people. … He was irrelevant to the world. Now he’s Bryan Kohberger, who has slaughtered four people. And because he didn’t have to stand up in court and tell the world how brutal these crimes were, he holds the cards. And he’s trying to leverage that.”

During the trial, Kohberger abruptly pleaded guilty to the murders of Madison Mogen, 21, Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20, and Ethan Chapin, 20, dodging the death penalty.

Kohberger’s attorney did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
