NEW YORK — A man was arrested in Peru after U.S. officials say he sent 150 bomb threats to U.S. school districts, synagogues, airports, hospitals and to a mall last month, according to Department of Justice officials.
He then emailed or filled out online forms to send hoax bomb threats to those places and others, investigators said. Investigators filed an arrest warrant for Núñez, 33, in the U.S. Southern District of New York on charges of threatening interstate communications, making false information and hoaxes, attempted sexual exploitation of a child, attempted coercion of a child and attempted receipt of child sexual abuse materials.
No attorney information was listed in the federal court docket, which was unsealed late last week. A message left with the federal public defender's office of New York was not immediately returned.
