University of Minnesota police arrested a man on Tuesday who allegedly left a bag of smoke flares inside Coffman Union on Sunday, which pushed police to close the building the next day.
A criminal complaint filed Wednesday accused 35-year-old Minneapolis resident Jason Robert Johnson of two felony counts involving terroristic threats and intent to damage property or cause injury with an explosive device.
Johnson is scheduled to appear in court Thursday at 1 p.m., said David Brown, chief deputy county attorney at the Hennepin County Attorney’s office. Bail is $100,000.
