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