COLUMBUS — A federal judge has scheduled a hearing in Columbus for a man accused of threatening a shooting at Ohio State and vowing to hurt players on the football team during the 2018 Michigan game.
An indictment unsealed last year accuses Daniel Rippy of making the “electronic communication” threat from California during the annual game between two football rivals, which was played in Columbus that year.
Judge Algenon Marbley set the hearing for Friday.
A Michigan TV station reported last month that Rippy said he was innocent during a Facebook exchange with the station.
