Attleboro Man Charged With Bomb Threat Against Gillette Stadium

Editor's Note - The charges in this story about Ryan Ringuette have been dropped.

FOXBOROUGH, MA — An Attleboro man accused of threatening to blow up buildings in the past faces new charges for allegedly targeting the home of the New England Patriots and the New England Revolution.

Ryan Ringuette, 25, was arraigned Tuesday in Wrentham District Court on a charge of making a bomb threat. A not guilty plea was entered on his behalf. He was ordered held on $5,000 cash bail and if he makes bail, he must stay away from Gillette Stadium, TeamOps, the victim, and submit to GPS monitoring.

On Aug. 7, Foxborough police learned of a threatening email sent by Ringuette to a TeamOps supervisor, according to a police report. Ringuette, who has worked in the past for the stadium's private security team, wrote in an email responding to an inquiry about shift availability, "**** you *****, I'll blow that ***** up."

The recipient of the email told police that she perceived email as a threat towards the stadium. Ringuette was taken into custody Monday on the charge and a straight warrant.

This is not the first time the Attleboro man has been charged with threatening to blow up a building. He remains under investigation for similar threats towards the stadium and in 2012, he was charged with writing a Facebook post where he threatened to blow up any public, private or pre-school in Attleboro, according to police records.

The latest incident remains under police investigation.

Ringuette is due back in court for a pre-trial hearing Sept. 6.
