Man admits Internet stadium hoax
NEWARK, N.J. (AP) - February 28, 2008 Jake Brahm admited in Newark federal court that he posted false
information that so-called dirty bombs would be detonated at seven
stadiums having games on Oct. 22.
The 22-year-old had said the stadiums were in Miami, Atlanta,
Seattle, Houston, Oakland, Cleveland and New York City.
He admits that the reference to New York City was intended to
indicate Giants Stadium, in East Rutherford, N.J., where the New
York Jets played the Detroit Lions that day.
Brahm remains free on bail and faces up to five years in prison
and a $250,000 fine when sentenced June 5.
