The 26-year-old New Jersey native has been living in McAdoo, Pennsylvania, near Hazleton. He faces federal charges for allegedly posting the threats last month on Facebook.

The marshals service says a 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan was stolen from Butler Township in Luzerne County on Sunday. It has yellow and black "SCHOOL STUDENTS" decals on the hood and tailgate and the name "ROHRER" in red on the driver and front passenger doors.
