Terre Haute, In. – A federal grand jury has indicted former Indiana State University Student 27 year old Nicholas Wheeler for four counts of transmitting extortionate threats via interstate commerce. In March the Dept. of Justice said Wheeler allegedly made violent threats over the Social Media site X against Indiana State University, ISU professors and two of his former attorneys. Wheeler allegedly said if they did not give him $500,000 or investigate his claims that he was the victim of a crime – he would kill or injure them. The threats included statements like, “I’m coming to take your souls… closed casket funerals,” and “empty your bank accounts, I’m coming for blood Indiana State University,” accompanied by posts claiming to own a loaded machine gun and body armor. The FBI is heading the investigation.  If Wheeler is convicted, he could face 20 years in federal prison.
