The FBI is reportedly investigating a man who allegedly made death threats against the family of Tyler Trent, a Purdue superfan who had bone cancer and died January 1 at the age of 20.
According to the Associated Press (h/t ESPN.com), 39-year-old John Pinkham was arrested Monday and will face federal charges of intent to injure when he is extradited to Indiana from Florida.
He allegedly made the threatening posts on Trent's Facebook page while using an alias, although Volusia County Sheriff Mike Chitwood told the Daytona Beach News-Journal (h/t the AP) that Pinkham said his girlfriend had sent the threats.
