A grand jury has indicted Texas resident Brian S. Mandel for alleged threats directed at Louisville head football coach Jeff Brohm, his family, quarterback Miller Moss and others.
The Louisville Courier Journal, citing court documents, reported that Mandel was charged with multiple counts of second-degree terroristic threatening and a separate count of attempted extortion.
A Jefferson Circuit Court judge issued an arrest warrant for Mandel. As of Tuesday afternoon, he had not been arrested. Court records show his bond was set at $100,000.
The alleged racketeering charge stems from Mandel possibly attempting to “obtain property valued at $10,000 or more” from Moss by “threatening to inflict bodily injury,” according to court documents.

An anonymous university police officer is listed as a complaining witness. The motive for the alleged crimes remains unclear. A detailed narrative was also not included in the indictment.
An athletics department spokesperson said the university will remain in communication with authorities throughout the investigation. “We commend the authorities for their swift and decisive action in addressing this matter,” a statement from the media relations department said. “Threats of violence have no place in our community or in sports, and we will continue to work closely with authorities to ensure a safe environment for everyone.”

“The safety and well-being of our students, staff and community remain our top priority,” the statement continued. “Our student-athletes and coaches deserve to compete, learn and grow without fear. We are committed to supporting them and reinforcing the values of respect, integrity and responsibility that define our program.”
Pending an arrest, Mandel will be arraigned on November 17.
