High schooler arrested for making “terrorist threat” on Facebook
Cameron Dambrosio, 18, boasted about outdoing the Boston bombers. He's now being held on $1 million bailBY KEVIN COLLIER
A high schooler outside of Boston has been arrested for announcing plans on Facebook that could be interpreted as trying to one-up the devastation of the Boston Marathon bombings.
Cameron Dambrosio, 18, of Methuen, Mass.—30 miles from Boston—is being held on $1 million bail.
As reported by the Eagle-Tribune, Methuen Police Chief Joseph Solomon said Dambrosio posted “(Expletive) the Boston bombing, wait til you see what I do. I’m going to be famous,” to Facebook.
“He’s telling people to shut up and in order to get some props he’ll have to go kill somebody. He says he’ll go insane and make the news,” Solomon added. “And he said people shouldn’t cry when they see what he does because they have it coming.”
Dambrosio was alluding, of course, to the April 15 Boston Marathon bombing that killed 3, injured hundreds, left one suspect dead and four more in custody.
