A disgraced former reporter was arrested today (March 3, 2017) and is now in the custody of the FBI for threats made against at least eight Jewish community centers across the country, according to the Spero News website.
Juan Thompsson -- a 31-year-old black American from St. Louis, Missouri -- made the bomb threats in the name of a former girlfriend.
Thompson was fired in February 2016 from his writing job at The Intercept -- an online news site -- for making articles more interesting by "interviewing" people who never existed.
After he was fired, Thompson blamed racist motivations for his dismissal.
