Pennsylvania man threatened to behead Tampa General Hospital CEO, feds say

A Pennsylvania man has been arrested after making online threats targeting Tampa General Hospital’s chief executive officer, including internet postings that said he should be beheaded, authorities said.

Lawrence Brunn, 63, was arrested Tuesday on a cyberharassment charge for threats he made against John Couris that prompted the hospital executive to hire a security detail to monitor his home and take him to and from work, according to a federal complaint.

Brunn was arrested at his home in the Pittsburgh suburb of Oakmont and was still in federal custody Wednesday ahead of a bond hearing, a U.S. Department of Justice spokesperson said.
