A Texas man who told police last month that he was injured in a suspected bomb threat at Northeastern University was arrested and charged Tuesday with allegedly staging a hoax explosion and providing false and misleading information about it to authorities, according to the Department of Justice (DOJ).

The alleged hoax occurred when Jason Duhaime, 45, of San Antonio, worked at the university as the new technology manager and director of the Immersive Media Lab.
