Jake Thibeault is preparing to take the stage at Babson College commencement this weekend after spending the last four-and-a-half years rebuilding his life following a devastating hockey injury.

|
A Chelsea, Massachusetts man is accused of sending hundreds of threatening emails to Boston University staff, including graphic images of shell casings, target practice and drive-by shooting scenes from movies. Prosecutors say 29-year-old Maximillien Sajous began emailing BU officials after receiving notice at the end of January that he owed about $20,000 in tuition. Court documents said he sent nearly 200 emails to university employees — including deans — many of them described as disturbing and threatening. Out of concern, the university reached out to Sajous regarding his mental health, prosecutors said. But he never responded. |
