A former employee of Northeastern University was sentenced to one year in prison on Monday following his convicted for staging a hoax explosion in 2022 and fabricating a story about being injured after opening a package delivered to the school's campus in Boston.

Federal prosecutors had requested that prison term for Jason Duhaime, 47, writing last week that the “entire incident was a hoax orchestrated by the defendant for reasons that remain largely unclear.”
