COLUMBUS (AP) — A magistrate judge has ordered a man be sent to Ohio to face a criminal charge that he threatened to shoot up Ohio State University and hurt players on the football team.
An indictment unsealed last month accuses Daniel Rippy of making the “electronic communication” threat from California during the Ohio State-Michigan game played at Ohio Stadium in 2018. Ohio State won the game 62-39.
Rippy was arrested Monday in California and the judge on Wednesday ordered him sent to Ohio.
Rippy’s court-appointed federal public defender declined comment.
