Officials say this arrest doesn't break JCC case; this person considered “copycat” made calls “to settle a personal score” —@PeteWilliamsNBC https://t.co/8tQ0WcjTsd

IMPORTANT: We have no idea who is responsible for most of the JCC threats. This guy was a copycat responsible for only 8 of the calls.
