What to Know About Juan Thompson, the Man Accused of Threatening Jews to Frame His Ex-Girlfriend

Federal authorities on Friday arrested a man who they say is behind a rash of recent bomb threats to Jewish centers in New York City.

Juan Thompson, 31, of Missouri, allegedly made more than a half-dozen threats in his ex-girlfriend’s name to frame her as part of a revenge scheme, the FBI and U.S. Attorney’s Office said. He was arrested early Friday in St. Louis and is being charged in New York with cyberstalking.
