NEW ORLEANS (AP) - A Poplarville, Miss., man has been arrested
and accused of sending racist electronic death threats to three
students at Louisiana's Nicholls State University by way of their
Facebook accounts.
The FBI in New Orleans said Friday that 19-year-old Dyron Hart
was arrested Thursday on a criminal complaint accusing him of
sending the messages, which contained racial epithets and death
threats, to two black women and one black man at Nicholls, located
in Thibodaux, La. The writer of the message cast himself as a white
man who intended to kill blacks because of the election of Barack
Obama as president.
An FBI agent's affidavit on the case says that Hart, who is
black, told the agent that he sent the messages to "get a
reaction."
