Grand Jury indicts LSU bomb-threat suspect



Officials say a federal grand jury has indicted a 42-year-old man on charges that he called in a bomb threat that led to the evacuation of the LSU Baton Rouge campus this week.

U.S. Attorney Donald J. Cazayoux, Jr. announced the indictment against Baton Rouge resident William Bouvay (above.)

The Grand Jury charged Bouvay with one count of conveying false information concerning the attempt to destroy property by means of explosives. If convicted, Bouvay faces up to 10 years in prison.

“This investigation is an example of the strong, collaborative efforts of university, local, state, and federal law enforcement."

Cazayoux said the quick arrest and indictment following Monday's bomb scare "is an example of the strong, collaborative efforts of university, local, state, and federal law enforcement."

Monday's campus-wide evacuation led to gridlock as nearly 30,000 students, faculty, and staff all tried to leave the campus at the same time.
