A Northeastern University employee who said he was injured when a package exploded was charged with fabricating the incident and arrested in San Antonio.
In a still photograph taken from video, a Boston Police bomb squad officer, left, and a K-9 unit officer, right, depart a building on the campus of Northeastern University, Wednesday, Sept. 14, 2022, in Boston. Law enforcement officials say authorities are examining whether the employee who reported an explosion Tuesday, Sept. 13, at Northeastern University may have lied to investigators and staged the incident.
According to the FBI affidavit, “The inside and outside of the case did not bear any marks, dents, cracks, holes, or other signs that it had been exposed to a forceful or explosive discharge of any type or magnitude.” It later said: “We know you are working on a secret flying project to scan buildings across the world so Mark can take over google maps,” and “the robots your building are walking around NEU, MIT and into Harvard yard.”
When he was in Boston, he slept in the lab or his office and didn’t have a home there, despite working at the university full time.
