COLUMBUS (AP) — A California man has pleaded not guilty to a charge of threatening a shooting at Ohio State University and vowing to hurt players on the football team.
An indictment accuses Daniel Rippy of making the “electronic communication” threat from California during the 2018 Michigan game in Columbus.
Rippy entered the plea in a court hearing Friday before Judge Algenon Marbley.
Rippy’s attorney declined comment.
A Michigan TV station reported last month that Rippy said he was innocent during a Facebook exchange with the station.
