The Wisconsin man police say made an Internet hoax threat about dirty bombs at NFL stadiums will be flown to New Jersey to face federal charges.Twenty-year-old Jake Brahm surrendered to the U.S. Marshal's Service in Milwaukee Friday. U.S. Attorney Christopher Christie says the suspect was charged in a sealed criminal complaint filed Thursday in Newark. One of the seven stadiums allegedly targeted was Giants Stadium in East Rutherford. The FBI determined Thursday that the threats were part of a hoax. Investigators say the Internet prank was inspired by a writing competition between two men trying to come up with scary threats. If convicted, Brahm could face up to five years behind bars and a $250,000 fine.Related Information
