A grand jury indicted Texas resident Brian S. Mandel for alleged threats against Louisville football head coach Jeff Brohm, his family, quarterback Miller Moss and others.
Louisville Courier MagazineCiting court documents, Mandel was charged with multiple counts of second-degree terroristic threats and a separate count of attempted extortion.
A Jefferson Circuit Court judge issued a warrant for Mandel’s arrest. He had not been taken into custody as of Tuesday evening. Court records show his bond was set at $100,000.
The alleged extortion charge likely stems from Mandel attempting to “obtain property valued at $10,000 or more” from Moss by “threatening bodily injury,” according to court filings.
