Jason Duhaime, a former Northeastern University employee, was sentenced to a year in federal prison Monday after staging a bomb hoax in 2022.

Federal prosecutors say a former lab manager at Northeastern University has been sentenced to just over a year in prison for staging a hoax explosion at the Boston campus and then lying about what happened to a federal agent.

Jason Duhaime, 47, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge William Young in Boston after a federal jury in June found him guilty of charges that he conveyed false information related to an explosive device and lied to investigators after an incident that prompted an evacuation of buildings on campus.
