Former Northeastern employee arrested in bomb hoax incident on campus
A former Northeastern University employee who said he was injured when a pressurized storage case exploded in his office Sept. 13 was arrested Tuesday in Texas and will be brought back to Massachusetts to face federal criminal charges related to the alleged hoax, according to legal filings.
Jason Duhaime, 45, was arrested on federal charges of conveying false information and hoaxes related to an explosive device and making material false and fictitious statements in a matter within an executive branch of the US government, according to legal filings in US District Court in Boston, where he’ll eventually appear. No lawyer was listed for him in online court filings in Boston.

Duhaime, who has fiercely denied staging the explosion, was apprehended in the western district of Texas, records show. It wasn’t immediately clear when he’ll make his first court appearance. He was employed at the time of the incident as the new technology manager and director of the Immersive Media Lab at Northeastern, but the school said Tuesday that he’s no longer working for the university.
