An arraignment is scheduled for Nov. 17 with bond set at $100,000.

Overview

  • A Jefferson County grand jury indicted Brian S. Mandel, 38, of Corpus Christi, on six counts of second-degree terroristic threatening and one count of attempted theft by extortion of more than $10,000.
  • The indictment cites alleged threats against head coach Jeff Brohm, his wife and family, offensive coordinator Brian Brohm, members of the coaching staff, and quarterback Miller Moss.
