The FBI arrested 31-year-old Juan Thompson in St. Louis, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office in the Southern District of New York. Thompson was charged with cyberstalking for allegedly communicating threats to Jewish Community Centers in the name of a woman. He is expected to appear in court Friday. This arrest appears to be the first in response to a wave of bomb threats at Jewish centers and schools across the country. Headstones have also been vandalized at Jewish cemeteries in Missouri, Pennsylvania and, most recently, Upstate New York.
