Former Employee at Northeastern University Arrested Over False Explosion Claims
The FBI has arrested the employee at the center of claims over a package that exploded on Northeastern University’s campus last month.
The Boston Police Department said last month that a 45-year-old staff member, Jason Duhaime, was injured after a package exploded on the campus. He said the explosion caused “minor injuries” to his hand, and he was taken to a local hospital for treatment.
But officials said at a press conference on Tuesday that Duhaime made up the explosion, and they did not find evidence of any blast.
